Amazing Alternatives: Coffee Cravings

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purdue chapter.

I don’t know about you, but like any other collegiette girl I’ve got a serious Starbucks addiction with a gold card to prove it.

Also similar to every other college student, I’ve got a tight budget and a diet to look out for. I’ve found an amazing substitution for Starbucks’ White Chocolate Frappucino.

The key switch is to use Vi Shape Powder and almond milk instead of whole milk, cream, or ice cream. Vi Shape Powder is a nutritional protein shake mix that contains 20-22 grams of protein, low sodium, calcium, fiber, and aids in digestion all in one serving! It can be substituted for many recipes and I easily ordered my Vi Shape in individual packets from Amazon.

Here’s the great recipe for all of us frappe-holics which can be customized to your favorite one!

Ingredients:
8 oz Almond Milk
2 tbsp fat/sugar free White Chocolate pudding mix
1 instant coffee pack
4-6 oz ice
2 sccoops Vi-Shape powder (or 1 individual packet)

Blend together in mixer and enjoy your sweet substitution that contains only 150 calories per serving as opposed to the traditional drink that contains 420 calories!
