THM S Copy-Cat Starbucks Frapachino

Well, it's been a while since my last blog. I wish it hadn't been so long, but with everything going on I didn't have much free time, hopefully now that it's almost summer I will be able to post more updates.
Getting back to the current...
Product reviews; I am always trying new products and would love to try samples from companies that make Gluten Free food so if you would like to send me a sample just email me for more info! Now for a snack recipe:

THM S Copy-Cat Starbucks Frapachino

What you will need:

Frapachino:

a blender (I usually use a NutriBullet or food processor)
6-10 ice cubes depending on the size (The more ice, the thicker it will be)
1/4 cup half-and-half for dairy free use almond milk or soy milk or for lactose free use lactaid creamer/milk
3/4 cup almond milk (I don't use "real" milk)
Starbucks via instant coffee or similar
1-2 donks of stevia to taste*

Whipped cream:

a hand mixer with whisk attachment
1/4 cup heavy cream (approximately)
1 donk of stevia
1 dash of vanilla extract

*optional, 1 donk is equal to 1/32 of a teaspoon (stevia, in it's pure sweet form, is very sweet), for stevia, you want to make sure you are getting pure stevia for a healthier option

Step 1: 

Put the ice cubes, 1/4 cup of half-and-half, 3/4 cup almond milk, instant coffee, and stevia to taste in the blender. Blend until smooth, add more stevia or cream to taste. Because ice cube sizes may vary, frapachino consistency may also vary. 

Step 4:

Put the 1/4 cup heavy cream, donk of stevia, and dash of vanilla in a bowl. Whisk on high unlit soft peaks form, and the cream's consistency has changed.

Step 3:

Pour into a cup with a straw, maybe a refillable Starbucks cup, top with whipped cream, and enjoy!
