Mocha Frappucino for a Meal

Too good to be true?!?  Not this one!  I’m still trying to figure out why someone would even need a “cheat” when you can have THIS as a meal… and it’s HEALTHY!  It’s easy to stay “on plan” when it tastes this good!  (I had mine with a cup of fresh blueberries on the side, which are not included in the nutrition information below, to make a full meal).

This made so much I had to drink about a 1/3 of my glass to pour the rest in : )
