In Heaven..

As you may have read in Sunday’s Post, I have recently discovered my true passion for coffee. Before that, I knew I loved coffee ice cream. Mmm, so good. Anyways, I had never really tried coffee frappuccinos or cappuccinos or any of those fancy, complicated sounding drinks. I felt my time had come.They really shouldn’t call frappuccinos, frappuccinos. Please. They sound so fancy and so impossible to make that you must pay your life’s earnings to buy one at the coffee shop. They should be called like cold coffee with milk or something. Maybe, I’m just too logical. That must be it!

Well, anyways I made a frappuccino all by myself for the first time and I made coffee for the first time! (I also thought coffee would be super complicated to make too, yep, I’m clueless) Thanks to these wonderful directions, making the coffee was a breeze! And thank goodness, so was the frappuccino.

Homemade Frappuccinos

(adapted from Savory Sweet Life)

(Perfect for one serving)

1 c. ice

1/4 c. plus 2 T. coffee

1/2 c. milk

2 T. sugar

whipped cream, optional

  1. Blend all the ingredients except the whipped cream in a blender for about 30 seconds to a minute. Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream, if desired. Best to drink it with a straw. Perfect way to start your day!
** You can easily make this chocolatey by putting in about a tablespoon of chocolate syrup in with the mix and taking out some of the sugar or else it might be a bit too sweet!
This breakfast beats like everything in the world. Frappuccino with toast and dark chocolate almond butter. I think there might be something that has nutritional significance in there somewhere ;)
