Low Calorie Iced "Coffee"

Ever since starting my health and wellness journey one year ago, I have cut out coffee almost completely. Not because I don't love the taste or flavor, but because it's so horrible for you. Coffee beans in their natural state are fine and healthy, it's the roasting process that produces carcinogens and toxins that I didn't like.

Now, when I want coffee, I reach for my Coffeccino, an AdvoCare product filled with vitamins and minerals, along with no toxins or carcinogens. Normally, I drink it hot, like a cup of coffee... but what about when I'm craving a cool, iced coffee in the triple-digit-Texas-heat? This is about as simple as it gets...

What You'll Need: 
-1 Packet of Coffeccino - 80 Calories
-8oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (gluten and dairy free) - 40 Calories, depending on the brand (use Vanilla for extra sweet iced-coffee)
-Blender
-Cup with Ice
-Fancy straw (optional)

All the ingredients you will need! So simple!


Mix the almond milk and Coffeccino in a blender, pour over ice and enjoy! It's an amazingly tasty alternative to a high calorie, expensive Starbucks drink!

Let me know how you like it! Have a happy Summer!
