Frescato recipe

Hi can anyone help me with the recipe to make a summer fruits frescato that they sell at Costa Coffee? Any similar recipe would be great, I've searched loads of websites but can't seem to find any info.

Many thanks

Is a frescato like an iced smoothie? If so then freeze your strawberries, raspberries, sliced bannana etc before whizzing them with milk.
Alternatively, make a smoothie (ie a milkshake but with lots of fruit with your fullfat/semi skimmed/skimmed/soya/ milk and/or yoghurt) and add ice cubes to taste, whizz again and serve.

When I used to work at Starbucks, the frappucino was made from a concentrated fruit puree base (about 1/3 cup) whizzed in the blender with 2/3 cup ice until it's slushy. You can either use a readymade puree (http://www.funkin.co.uk/pureeHome.php - I've seen this in larger Tescos) or make one by blending your choice of berry fruits with a cup of water, juice of 1/2 lemon and sugar (to taste). It's probably a good idea to check that your blender can crush ice before you try and make one though!
