I love coffee. Not the fru fru, super sweet, not really "coffee" coffee drinks....but straight up coffee! I do try to keep it limited to one cup in the morning, it is one of the highlights when I jump out of bed and get ready for the day! However, the thought of sipping on super hot coffee on these super hot days doesn't always sound all that fantastic. I made a cup of coffee, eye balled my blender, and decided to experiment! I have found a new morning treat that I would totally pick over any sugar filled Starbucks drink! Give it a try, you may not need to go through that drive thru anymore!
Start with 6 ounces freshly made strong coffee, let cool a little
Pour the coffee into a blender and add 3 Tbsp vanilla almond milk, 2 tsp vanilla extract and 5-10 drops of liquid stevia (depending on how sweet you want it)
Add 1/2 frozen banana and a scoop of unsalted raw almond butter
Add a cup of ice cubes, blend well until smooth. Pour into a frosted mug to keep it extra cool and creamy!
You may need to add a little more coffee, almond milk or ice...taste test and have fun with it!
