ICED COFFEE {THM-FP OR S)

So lately I have been very close to just giving up on coffee altogether.  I have used the sugar free creamers or just regular creamer since starting Trim Healthy Mama but always felt so bad about it because I hate all the ingredients that are in it and it gives me a stomach ache.  I've tried my hardest to like the way hot coffee tastes with just half an half and sweetener or heavy cream and sweetener and I just have not been able to adjust.  But today, I was craving some iced coffee and wanted to make it healthy and on plan so I whipped up this iced coffee and it did not disappoint!  

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (I used decaf) (chill in the freezer for 10 minutes) 
  • 1/2-1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp caramel extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp of THM Super Sweet Blend (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla whey protein powder
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Optional: You can add half and half or heavy whipping cream into it to make it an S.   

Instructions:

Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender.  Fill a quart size mason jar (because everything tastes better in a mason jar right!) with ice then pour the coffee mixture over it.   You can add water or more almond milk/half & half/heavy cream to fill the rest of the way if needed.  You can top with Fat Free Reddi Whip (I did not in the picture below) and Enjoy!  

*If you use the half & half or heavy cream, remember it makes this an S and not a FP.  I made mine with just the almond milk and it was delicious!  However, I'm going to try it with the heavy cream tomorrow just to see if it's even more delicious that way!  

And that's it!  Super easy and super yummy!  This totally solved my problem of using those sugar free creamers to make my iced coffee.

  1. I just love it! I can't believe that protein powder (and I use collagen) can make it so creamy. It tastes like Starbucks to me. (We use Starbucks coffee and brew it at home)
