Banana Mocha Frappuccino #Foodie Friday

I don't drink a lot of coffee in the morning, so I usually have at least a cup left in the pot late in the afternoon when I do need a pick me up, but who wants to drink old coffee? I could warm it up, but it never tastes quite the same. 

On a recent afternoon while I was searching my cabinet for "something chocolate" I came upon an almost full box of hot chocolate mix. "Well, I don't want hot chocolate in the summer, but hey I got some left over coffee and ripe banana's.... it must be frappuccino time!

I hope you enjoy this thrifty and refreshing drink over the holiday weekend. I will be in and out of cell coverage. I plan on spending some time at home, and in the woods, catching up on a few books I've wanted to read, and having some quiet family time.

Have a wonderful 4th,
Diane
