I've written a few times about how much I love Mocha Coconut Frappuccinos (MCF), and how disappointed I was by this year's version. I also posted a recipe waaaaay back in the day to make your own.
Obviously, I love these things. Like, seriously, love. So I was determined to improve upon my previous homemade incarnation because, well, it wasn't awesome and it also didn't really have any healthy merit to it.
I mentioned not too long ago how much I love Weight Watchers' new chocolate smoothie mixes; I very nearly instantly thought the Creamy Chocolate would be a great addition to my Mocha Coconut Frappuccino!
Oh man, I was SO right. It's yummy, creamy, chocolate-coconutty, and has 14 grams of protein. Using 3/4 cup of the base allows it to better fit into a 12 oz cup, though sometimes I put it in my 16oz cup so I have room for whipped cream.

Weight Watchers Friendly Mocha Coconut Frappuccino Swap - 5 PointsPlus
Makes 1 12oz serving
3/4 cup ready-made iced mocha (found in the dairy section in 1/2 gallon containers; I've used Starbucks and Winn-Dixie brand)
1 slim pack Weight Watchers Creamy Chocolate Smoothie mix1/8tsp coconut extract (I use imitation; a little goes a very long way, and too much leaves a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste)
Handful of ice cubes
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. If desired, top with whipped cream and sugar-free chocolate syrup for an indulgent treat!
Pinned this! It looks delicious! I love coconut anything.
