I am a coffee~aholic!! I would before SB drink an entire pot 12 cups of coffee a day. Then I also have and esspresso machine. I love iced mochas.  Well I found a way around it so I can have some coffee, not nearly as much!! I use decafe esspresso and Silk soy milk!! I've always had the soy, but I found a low carb version that only had 1g of surgar. Big hit here.


What is funny is I thought I miss the chocolate, but I'm not!! It's amazing!! But I still have my coffee.


Just thought I'd share for those other coffee~aholics!!

Me too.. I'm a coffeeholic as well... I'm trying decaf now but notice that it doesn't pack the punch like the regular and am also using half n half and two sweet n lows instead of the flavored creamers.. yuck no taste... we'll see how it goes...

Good Luck

I love my coffee too (hence the coffee cup in my siggy, lol!) I also found a replacement to my seasonal need for iced coffee, dunkin donuts now makes iced lattes so I have it made with skim milk and 2 splenda it's SO YUMMY!

Michelle,

I'm not just a coffeeaholic, I'm a STARBUCKS junkie! LOL....whenever I pass one by I get the carmel macchiato or the frappucinos...looks like I will be doing detours for the next couple of weeks so I don't get tempted! LOL

Amy

PS: Can you please post the recipe for the iced mocha coffee?

Wow,

I didn't know places like Dunkin Donuts would make those with Splenda! I'll have to find out if Starbucks does something like that, since I'm a Starbucks junkie!!!!

You can still go to starbucks just order a Iced Latte!! That's basically what I'm having!!


2 shots of esspresso or strong coffee!!


3/4 cup of silk soy milk ( or skim would work)


ice to fill the glass


Make the esspresso add it to the glass, fill with ice and stir. Then fill with milk, stir again. If you want you could always add spleda to it to make it sweeter.


So easy!!

I add chocolate to my coffee everyday. I use Torani sugar free chocolate syrup. Believe me, I'm just starting to like coffee and I'm 50 years old. The only way I drink it is with some of Torani's sugar free syrups and fat free milk.

Thanks Michelle for the recipe. I guess I should ask for a cappucino maker for Mother's day.. I don't have one:( But will keep the recipe on hand.

Can I get any flavor Iced Latte, or just vanilla?

Sounds like a plan! And get it with skim?

Amy,


I'm not sure if you can get the flavors or not, I just get the original w/o whipped cream and it's so yummy!


Enjoy!
