So let's be honest...I am obsessed with coffee. I probably get it from my Papaw, the coffee aficionado. I am also loving our Keurig coffee machine that we recently purchased. The only downside to this is when it's so hot outside, it feels weird for me to be drinking burning hot coffee. Doesn't do much to refresh and cool you down. So this weekend, I took a trip to my local Walmart and picked up some coffee creamers to experiment with my "French Vanilla Iced Coffee K-Cups." It turned out to be a huge success!
All you do is put the K-cup into the brewer like normal, but then you add ice to the cup, all the way to the top. Then turn on the brewer, when it's done take it out, then add whatever flavor creamer you want, and some Splenda to taste. The one I am trying out right now is Vanilla Caramel Breve Creme, and it's wonderful! They have so many different creamer flavors to try that I know will keep me busy for a while!
And the best part? It's skinny! The K-cup coffee itself has 0 calories, and of course Splenda has 0. The only place you get your calories from is the creamer. On this particular kind, it is 35 calories per tablespoon, and that is what I used.
So Voila! A 35 calorie iced coffee drink. MOVE OVER STARBUCKS! I have the taste, convenience, and price point to put you out of business!! Looks like I just found out what I'll be drinking every morning from now on! :)
If only these ladies had Keurigs back then!!
And in case you need further instructions: Keurig Brew Over Ice.
Don't have a Keurig coffee machine yet? Get with the 21st century! It's great! And they have them now for as little as $100.
So go Gustare un caffè!!!
