There's nothing better than sipping on a cold treat in this heat. The kids are out having a water balloon fight, and asked me to join. While I don't plan on tossing balloons, I do plan on making my time in the sun enjoyable.
It's Smoothie Time!!!
This one is for the coffee lovers.
Forget paying $6 at the local coffee drive-thru. Make this at home to save time, money, and calories.
Cinnamon Dulce Coffee Smoothie
•3 cups unsweetened cashew milk (or any milk)
•2 cups black coffee (pre-frozen in icecube trays)
•1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
•2 tsp ground cinnamon
•2 tsp instant coffee (optional...add if you love coffee)
•Up to 4 Tbsp brown sugar (start with just •2 Tbsp, add more depending on your preference of sweetness)
•1 scoop Chocolate or Vanilla ProFIT protein powder (omit or use your favorite protein powder) purchase ProFIT here: http://juliesolis.myitworks.com/shop/product/316/
Add all ingredients to blender. Pulse a few times, then blend until smooth.
Serve immediately.
Yields 2-20oz servings
As noted above, adjust the recipe to your liking. I love coffee, that's why I added the instant coffee. My husband loves sweet, that's why I added the extra brown sugar.
Don't toss out your morning coffee! Freeze it!
Using frozen coffee will keep the flavors from getting watered down. I'm not a fan of using ice in my smoothies because if you let it sit (which can happen when you're a busy mom), it melts and you lose some of the flavors.
Oh, and here's all the nutritional info for this recipe #iifym.
