Iced coffee

I have been trying to perfect my Coffee making skills.  I have been tweeking them while on this diet.  I so look forward to morning and afternoon when I can treat myself to my cup-o-joe.  I have come up with a pretty good iced Coffee recipe that I have been having every afternoon.  It is high in protein, low in carb and calories (virtually none) and the best part is, its on the diet plan and Im still losing weight while drinking it.  I miss my Starbucks, although I do still go for their regular coffee.  Going there is more than the coffee for me.  It's the smell when you walk in the door, the cozy feeling you get from most Starbucks, and just the idea of getting a cup of something, sitting down and watching the world move at its own speed.  I love everything about it.  Its one of my favorite things to do.  On those days when I don't get to have my Salted Carmel Mocha (which is pretty much every day except for my birthday or special occasion) I have my iced coffee.  I hope you like it as much as I do!

My Afternoon Treat.  yes I have a Ghost Straw.  It's September after all...close enough to halloween.

I add just a Tablespoon of whipped Cream.  It doesn't add many calories and it adds zero carbs.

Iced Coffee

1 coffee cup of brewed coffee

(I use my Verissimo and brew a cup and then add about a half of a mug filled with water.  I also do this part in the morning and put it in the fridge so it's nice and cold when Im ready for it in the afternoon.)

1 teaspoon of Chocolate protein Powder Mix ( I use Arrbonne)

1 Packet of Stevia

Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup (add this to taste.  I use 1-2 Tablespoons)

Put all ingredients in a shaker and shake it up.  Pour over ice and add just a tiny bit of Whipped Cream.  Viola!  You have a yummy Iced Coffee.
