    Does it matter what brand of coffee you use?

    I think most regular coffee is about 2 calories per cup.

    I used whatever my husband had in the cabinet. Coffee is very low in calories... until you add milk and sugar to it!

    I use soy milk light vanilla, only 18 calories for a 1/4 cup. I sometimes add a lot of ice put in blender......Voila ....a yummy treat!

    Sounds yummy. I might try and use vanilla soy milk instead!! Less calories.
    That sounds good too! Love iced coffee, hot coffee, all coffee. I think I'm addicted.

    I'm confused. You just told us how to put milk and sugar in our coffee. People do that every day. This isn't a recipe.

    Yeah... that's why I said I was slow. :laugh:
    For me it was really the vanilla extract to make it VANILLA iced coffee that tastes just like the Iced Coffee at McDonalds but runs 33 calories instead of 100++ calories that got me excited. :flowerforyou:

    Just what I was thinking. I sometimes do one from the hungry girl website. With mini chocolate chips, sugar free chocolate syrup, & diet swiss miss adds up to only 103 calories if you use soy milk. I like this simple recipe too!

    You could use vanilla flavored coffee instead and save yourself a few added calories! :)

    I've done similar to this, before I started dieting, but I added creamer, which had way too many calories. Vanilla extract sounds better. Thnks!

    Okay so I finally made my version this morning. Here it is:

    2 cups of homebrewed coffee
    .5 cup of organic vanilla soymilk
    1.5 tsp of non calorie sweetener
    1 cup of ice.....

    Only 46 calories... I usually have a coffee drink that is 160 calories so I am quite happy with the calories... The taste is pretty darn close to my favorite coffee drink also...

    I'm going to try this. I got addicted to the Star$ one but it's very expensive and I suspect high in calories. I take my coffee black so it would be a low calorie treat for sure - thanks!

    Tried this today with 2% milk and splenda and was pleasantly surprised..... it DOES taste just like ice cappuccino from Robins donuts (small town Ontario Timmies, LOL) and a mocha lata from Cinnabon (I think that's what they're called?) Anyhow, I'm super excited! I love iced coffee! Next time I think I will freeze the coffee in an ice cube tray (or maybe the milk) and put it all in the blender to make it more "slushy".... thanks for sharing!
