How To Make Your Own Unicorn Frappe

I swear it tastes so good.

May 10, 2017

The Unicorn Frappuccino was a major Starbucks hit, selling out in less than two days when it was supposed to be out for a good week. Unfortunately, many of those having to stand in line to wait for the deliciously, cute drink were unable to get it.

I, witnessing this dilemma, decided to re-create the drink as closely as possible!

So keep scrolling to find out how you can make your own Unicorn Frappe!

1. Things you will need (it's not a lot, trust me)

-A blender of some sorts (I absolutely love the Nutri Ninja)

-Mango ice-cream

-Neon pink food coloring

-Blue icing

-Blue sour candy

-Milk

-Whipped cream

-Ice

2. Scoop Mango ice-cream into blender

I did everything by eye to make enough for one cup so I trust you can do the same :)

*I did about three scoops with the tablespoon*

3. Pour about 1/2 a cup of milk and add a cup of ice

Pretty self-explanatory

4. Add some pink food coloring to get the awesome Unicorn pinkness

My food coloring was powder so I added about 1/2 a teaspoon, but it will vary to how pink you want it.

5. Blend that all together and set aside!

Look how pretty!

6. Place drink in freezer to keep cold while you make the blue sauce

If you are using a blender, pour the drink into a cup and cover it before placing it in the freezer.

7. Take blue candy, chop it into bits, and place in your CLEAN blender

My cutting board is pink, I swear.

8. Squirt some blue frosting into the cup, and blend

I added a bit of milk to the mixture to make it a little more creamy. You want to consistency of a creamy paste.

9. Place mixture in zip-lock bag and freeze for about 10 minutes

*My Ninja blade wasn't sharp enough to cut all the pieces of candy, but I re-tried it with another blender and it worked perfectly!

10. Give a quick shout-out to the nice Starbucks girl who gave you a cup for this project

11. Cut a small hole in the corner of the zip-lock holding the blue sour paste and make squiggly lines in the cup

My squiggles died.

12. Pour pink drink into cup, top with whipped cream and you are done!

Conclusion: It tasted pretty much like the Unicorn Frappe, I just wish it was a little more sour. If anyone has any suggestions to perfecting this recipe, please let me know!

Enjoy:)

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2019

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
