blended mocha recipe

I have an addiction to starbucks mocha frappuccinos. In an attempt to save money I've been trying to find a recipe that is as good or better that I can make at home. I've succeeded :)

Ingredients

ice (duh)
starbucks via instant coffee
vanilla ice cream
soy milk
Maxwell House International Cafe Mocha

Instructions

Fill your glass with ice then put the ice in the blender. Add just enough soy milk to almost cover the ice. Add a scoop or two of ice cream depending on your sweat tooth. Add one packet of Starbucks Via instant coffee (two if you want extra kick). Add two tea spoons of the Cafe Mocha mix. Blend and serve.

A couple of notes: I use soy milk because it's sweeter than regular milk. If it comes out too thick, add some more soy milk.

Now that sounds pretty simple and easy ... maybe that way I can burst my 'never had Starbucks' bubble ... I'm curious, but I've never had it.

never had starbucks? That's cuckoo talk ;)

I'm not a coffee person, but i'm a chocoholic and chocolate and coffee is just the right blend of sweet and robust. That's how I got hooked on the mochas :(

starbucks? ugh!

There are some ready made products that work very well.......if you have "cash and carry" there, you can find a product called "Big Train" They have a mocha, and a kona mocha that are very good....just blend with milk and ice......Jet makes a good product also.
