In today's break
from makeup I will be sharing my absolute favorite coffee drink meal substitute
thing with you! I love coffee, almonds, vanilla, and strawberries so one day I
thought why not combine all of it?! And so I did, it was amazing...and low calorie!
;D
I prefer this to a
16 oz calorie packed Starbucks drink any day!
However the nutritional powder stuff I bought isn't really what I wanted. I was hoping for less sugar and more protein but my grocery store didn't seem to carry anything like that. Any suggestions?
Here are the
contents:
8 oz Black Coffee ~1
cal
8 oz Unsweetened
Vanilla or Chocolate Almond Milk ~30-45 cal
One Scoop of a Vanilla
Protein Mix ~125 cal
1/2 cup Frozen or
Fresh Strawberries ~25 cal
A Splash of Vanilla
Flavoring ~1 cal
Directions
1. Acquire the
coffee by whatever means is your favorite and stick it in the fridge to cool.
2. If using frozen
berries remove them from the freezer and allow them to thaw....I plop mine in
the coffee to speed up the process.
3. Add a scoop of
the nutrition mix and blend the crap out of it!
4. Add the almond
milk and vanilla flavor to the blended coffee, strawberries, and nutrition mixture,
then stir well.
5. Add ice if it is
not quite cold enough or stick it in the fridge overnight for breakfast the
next day.
6. Enjoy your 16 oz
and less than 200 calorie coffee drink <3
If you would prefer
this as just a beverage and not as a meal substitute just forgo the protein
powder and perhaps add a bit extra vanilla extract! It will take the calories
to less than 100 for a 16 0z serving. I rarely
eat meat so I like the shake mix as a way to add a bit more protein into my
diet. Hope you enjoy!
