Default A Yummy Mocha Drink??

Hey guys! There is always someone here who has the answers so I thought I would give this a shot!
With summer coming on, I am craving cold drinks! I used to LOVE Starbucks Mochas. Does anyone have a recipe for something similar. I figured I could experiment and figure something out, but thought I would ask first to see if this has been done before.
I am thinking something along the lines of coffee, splenda, some sort of chocolate flavor, cream, ice???

Any help out there?

Thanks in advance!!

I make something with 1 tsp elite coffee, carb countdown whole milk, 1 Tbsp cream, 1 cup of Ice 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cocoa or a splash of cinnamon, and I use some liquid splenda for it (but you can use a davinci syrup flavor) I blend it up and its awesome!

I would think you could come really close by taking, say, 2 shots of espresso, 6 oz of Chocolate Carb Countdown, and pouring over ice.

I prefer an Iced Americano, but whatever floats your boat.

I add DaVinci's s/f chocolate syrup and Carb Countdown chocolate milk to my coffee. Right now, I'm drinking it hot, but as the weather is warming up, I'll add ice cubes to it or put it in the frig for awhile before drinking it.

Try these:

Just put all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

Mocha Shake
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
2 fl oz /60 ml cream
1 tsp espresso coffee (powder dissolved in 1 tbsp boiling water)
4 fl oz /125 ml water
Lots of ice cubes

Low-Carb Frappuccino
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
2 fl oz /60 ml cream
1 tsp Splenda (optional)
4 fl oz / 125 ml espresso coffee, or other strong coffee (made up and chilled)
Lots of ice cubes



I usually double the quantities, and put loads of ice in the blender - they end up rather like a McDOnald's thick shake
