This healthy frappuccino is an alternative to those blended coffees that are so full of calories. It’s healthier, but still nice and creamy and coffee-y.

Plus, if you buy your morning coffee as a takeaway, you need to know about those paper / plastic cups it’s served in.

Watch the video that shows you to make this healthy frappuccino, and then read about coffee cups.

Disposable coffee cups

What the problem? These “paper” coffee cups are actually lined with plastic. And when you add a hot drink like coffee or tea, that plastic degrades. Within minutes, it’s leaching microplastics and even some heavy metals into your drink!

(And we’re not even talking about the waste disposal issues).

Your morning Joe (coffee) might be giving you more than just an energy boost!

Either bring a reusable bottle (glass or stainless steel) or a thermos with you, or take a few extra moments to relax and actually drink your coffee in the shop or café (assuming the shop uses proper cups when you drink there).
