Coffee Smoothie

Forget Starbucks!  Make yourself a fabulous and nutritious coffee smoothie at home!

I use OrganoGold Latte, which is the only coffee my body can handle.  It also helps keep me from getting bloated and helps me lose weight.  LOVE.IT.  If you haven't tried it, look into it.

**My recipe uses a packet of the OrganoGold Latte (or Mocha) but you should be able to substitute regular coffee.

Ingredients:

1 packet OrganoGold Latte
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup sweetened vanilla almond milk
chocolate syrup to taste
1 banana
5 medium strawberries without tops
6-8 ice cubes

Put coffee granules in blender carafe and add hot water, swishing to dissolve coffee.  Or just put 1/2 cup brewed coffee of your choice in blender carafe.  Add remaining ingredients and blend at high speed for about 15-30 seconds, depending on the power of your blender.

Voila!  You have energy, protein, calcium, and 2 servings of fruit in one on-the-go breakfast!

These are just as good with only banana or only strawberries, or use a tbsp of peanut butter and a banana for a different taste and to add protein.
