Coffee Lovers!

A lot of us love coffee drinks, esp. ones from Dunkin Donuts, etc. But as we know, they are bad news! I just made my own "skinny" one--and while it isn't quite like the real think, it's pretty darn good! I used leftover cold coffee from this morning plus a packet of instant coffee, put in the blender with 1 tsp milk and some choc. stevia. About 5 ice cubes. Blend until its the consistency you want. Its pretty good!

Marti, I am not even a coffee drinker, but I have tried numerous combinations from hot to iced coffee with different stevia flavors and a little milk and some with ice as well...not bad when you are wanting something special in P2.

thanks Linda!

You bet! Welcome to your journey. Thanks for sharing it here.

really 1/2 and 1/2 - that is awesome

[Sadie]

Yes, Half and Half. No more than 1 tablespoon though. You never want any skim, 1% or 2% milk.

I have found for me that ice coffee with a splash of milk/cream is better than hot coffee with a splash of milk since I like a lot of creamer in my hot coffee, that small amount just isn't enough for me. I didn't know you could use half and half or heavy cream either...that's great! I was using unsweetened almond milk but may as well be water....
