    Love it! I make green tea lattes...
    Heated non-fat milk (or light vanilla soy)
    1 packet sweetener
    1 tsp match powder (I got mine at the heath food store)

    Yummo and cheap!
    Thank you. I'm going to try that.

    Coffee with a 1/2oz of rumchata. It's the perfect nightcap. It's slightly sweet and cinnamony and delicious.

    This isn't homemade, but when I want a coffee type drink I grab Monster's coffee-Monster infused Vanilla Light drink; it's 50 calories, delicious, and packed with vitamins.

    I just made my 1st homemade peanut butter mocha of the year. And I'm all proud of myself because it only came to 82 calories. And it was delicious. And I saved myself $5 plus tip in the average coffee stop drive through. ;-)

    My recipe is:
    Coffee - 1 cup
    Stevia Packets, 2 packet
    Pb2 - Powdered Peanut Butter, 2 tbsp
    Ice Cubes, 5 cube
    Fat Free Half N Half, 2 tbsp
    Sugar Free - Hot Cocoa Mix, 0.5 envelope
    Put all in a blender and walla it's a lovely iced peanut butter mocha!

    Anyone else have a favorite homemade recipe for iced or hot coffee drinks that replace what you could get from somewhere like Starbucks or one of the millions of drive through coffee stops you see everywhere?
    This sounds soooo good!

    Thanks for this one as well. I have some matcha sitting there doing nothing and this will be a nice way to use it up.

    Great ideas in here. My usual is coffee, hot chocolate mix and french vanilla cappuccino mix.

    my favorite morning drink is 4 oz. of hot 1% milk, 4 shots of espresso and a tablespoon of french vanilla international delight. this replaces my venti coffee with around 4 oz of heavy cream.

    There is a coffee shop near me that serves coffee ice cubes in the iced coffees :) So easy to make your own using up that last bit of coffee. I never thought about using a blender. No time on the weekdays (and can't afford to wake anyone else with my racket), but this sounds like a real treat when a weekend run is over on a warm day!

    I just get the 100 calorie skinny latte's. Still kills my wallet though, but at least I can afford the cals. Really it's no biggie to me, I get a lot out of my starbucks excursions. Meet up with friends. Sometimes head to workouts from there. Etc., etc, etc.

    I am however extremely curious about this peanut butter powder? Is it low cal? Hi protein? How much does the whole thing come out to in calories, protein, carbs grams?

    I didn't know either....and I have a dirty, dirty, mind so I had to look it up. Problem solved, mind stopped from wandering.

    I use a coffee frother to whip up my almondmilk into a delightful cappuccino-type drink every morning.

    I also pour any coffee left over in the pot into an ice cube tray, and make "frappuccinos" in my Ninja blender with frozen coffee cubes, protein powder, and almondmilk. I like them way better than the ones at Starbucks... mine aren't too sweet, and you can't beat the price!


    What a great idea to freeze leftover coffee for frozen coffee! I think I'll have to try that!

    Also, if you don't like the taste of SKINNY drinks at any coffee shop, my friend introduced me to something magical and it's a lot cheaper than a regular latte! We get iced (or hot) coffee and add white mocha (or your favorite flavor to it). It ends up 130 calories for a grande. You can also get it decaf if you want. We get an iced Americano decaf and add the syrup. It's a delicious treat and only about $3 instead of $5
