    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
