Frozen Treats

Well, I've spent most of my time since Friday morning sick in bed. I did attempt to leave the house and go to work Friday afternoon but didn't get much further than the lobby. And, I did attend the Timeraiser event Saturday night. It was a great event with lots of people in attendance though after yelling over the music and crowds for three hours I was beat. I stayed in bed for most of the day today only leaving once for ice cream. There is nothing I crave more when I'm sick than ice cream.

Friday, to sooth that craving I actually blended up my NeoCitron with ice and a little water. It was like a lemonade slushy that knocked me right out! If you haven't done this before cooler beverages sooth your throat I highly recommend this!

Saturday afternoon I took this idea a little further and made my own Frappuccino, well minus the coffee but with all the chocolate.

We just blended up a lot of ice, a lot of hot chocolate mix, some milk and a banana for a little flavour. It's sort of up to you oh how icy and chocolaty you want it but we vaguely followed the directions on the hot chocolate package, adding 6 tbsp of chocolate mix for 2 servings, it was pretty chocolaty so I might only go for 4 next time, especially with the banana for the little extra sweetness.

This would probably work great using chocolate syrup if you've got that around and a shot of espresso or cold coffee would give you that hint of coffee flavour if you're looking for it.

That's just about as much energy as I've got today. Off to the couch for me.

Happy Sunday!
