Those iced lattes loaded with cream, sugar, caffeine–signs up on the roadway trying to entice me in to purchase them. I want one, who doesn’t? I mean, if you like coffee and you like fat and you like sugar–why wouldn’t you want one? We all want one, Starbucks, but there comes a time when the things that you offer must be replaced, cast aside in the name of all that is good and life giving in this world. I rebuke those icy flavored calorie laden beverages which offer no return to my body at all–aside from over stimulation and guilt, of course.
So, here is my alternative to your seduction–some coffee, come coconut oil, a scoop of cinnamon protein powder a little milk , a dash of stevia all added to a blender with some ice–which resulted in such a wonderful drink–let’s call it the Cinnamon Dolce 2.0.
Cinnamon Dolce 2.0
2 tbl Milk (skim, whole, goat, almond whatever it is you like)
2 tsp coconut oil (melted)
1 scoop Cinnamon Protein Powder
8 ounces hot coffee
6 or 7 ice cubes
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend completely. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with cinnamon and indulge!
Other Good Ideas:
–Use chocolate protein for a Mocha twist
–Use vanilla protein and sprinkle cardamom, cinnamon and cloves for a Chai event
