Mocha Madness Frozen Drink
Thanks to Runner’s World for providing the recipe for this quick, cool, bracing, low-fat treat for all the chocolate and coffee lovers out there.
Ingredients:
4 ice cubes
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt
1 shot espresso
2 tsp cocoa powder
Add all the ingredients to a blender in the order listed above, then mix on high speed for 30 seconds. Serve in a frosted glass. Make it a double espresso shot for an extra caffeine kick and just an additional 5 calories!

One of these days I’ll get around to posting my personal guide to pulling the perfect espresso shot. I’ve had a FrancisFrancis! X5 Espresso Machine
for some time now, but have only recently started to get consistent results. Pulling shots sounds easy, but there are several variables you have to get just right:
- Coffee amount (14g per double shot)
- Coffee grind
- Water temperature
- Water pressure
- Coffee tamp
This list isn’t exhaustive, and I promise you I’m no expert, but I will pass on what works for me……soon. Watch this space ok?

Think it’s time for a new recipe - it’s been a while since the last one. Looks like coffee and chocolate are the ones to post…
