    That...sounds....delicious.

    I don't have any recipes but I've been tempted to try protein powder, coffee, and ice and blend it up like a frappe

    That might work. I tried whey protein powder in a hot cup of coffee. It did NOT work.

    Lol yeah heard it doesn't mix too well with hot beverages. I heard some people mix it with cold water first and then put it in their coffee

    I always mix coffee, almond milk (different kinds, right now coconut/almond mix) and my EAS lean 15 (chocolate protein mix), mix and pour over ice... DELISH and about 130 cals or less, depending on ratios. I love it!

    I don't have any real measurements for this but something like

    1/2 c unsweetened almond milk mixed with 1-2 tbsp of pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice seasoning (or all spice, cinnamon, etc), a no calorie sweetener, and 1 tbsp of vanilla protein powder, heated thoroughly then whipped/beated as much as possible (if you want a froth.
    1/2 c freshly brewed coffee

    mix together. pumpkin spice latte.

    Switched from Lattes to Long Blacks when started this. Only 2 calories and cheaper. Now really enjoy the coffee and not tainted with milk which can vary so much in taste depending on how it heated.

    Also a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon hits the sweet tooth and only 2 calories too.

    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.
