Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino

Take out:
How can coffee have so many calories & so much fat? This "fat"puccino grande has 420 calories, 65mg of cholesterol & 16g of fat. You're better off eating an ice cream sundae (approx. 10 Weight Watcher Points).

Fake out:
We fake this out the old fashioned way- we make it with real coffee (not a mix like Starbucks uses). In a blender combine a cup of ice, a cup of Starbucks brewed coffee (cold) & a 1/2 cup of Skinny Cow chocolate milk. Blend until thick (add more ice to get your desired thickness). Pour into a glass & top with Cool Whip Lite in a can. Lastly, drizzle some Torani sugar free chocolate syrup. Optional: sweeten as desired with low calorie sweetener.

Wendy's Chocolate Fudge Frosty Shake

Take out:
This is tempting especially on a hot summer day but with 540 calories & 13g fat (12 Weight Watcher Points) you might want to tell Wendy to "shake" it somewhere else.

Fake out:
Here's how we fake it out- In blender, add a cup of chopped ice, Edy's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Yogurt Blend, Frozen Chocolate Cool Whip (make sure to freeze as soon as you buy it), Light Chocolate Silk Soy Milk. Blend. Pour into glass & then stir in Hershey's Sugar Free Syrup just enough to give a swirly effect. Optional: Top off with some Cool Whip Free & a cherry. Can make this in under 2 minutes.
