Healthy Iced Coffee

I'm not really a morning person, and for that matter, I'm not a breakfast person either.  I usually have something quick and light like a coffee, banana or yoghurt.  Of course, oatmeal and museli are another delicious option for those hungry mornings.  This morning however, it was hot and I had gone for a run so I felt like something really cool like iced coffee.  I didn't want to splurge on an icecream ladden drink (saturday is my day for "naughtiness" I've decided! Cheesecake, here I come).  So instead, I decided to whip this drink up, with no sugar or icecream or cream, and surprisingly it worked really well.  I loved scooping the icy and coffee-bitter milk into my mouth with a slice of sweet banana.  Sprinkle it all with sliced almonds and let the deliciousness overflow...

Ingredients
1 handful of ice, ie. 1/2 cup of large icecubes
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 tsp coffee granules
1/2 banana, sliced diagonally
1 tbsp sliced almonds

Method
In a blender, process the ice, milk and coffee together.  (Okay, go ahead and add some caster sugar if you want this drink to be sweet).  Add more milk if you want it to be runnier.  Pour into glass until it reaches the top.  Pop sliced banana on top of ice drink.  Sprinkle banana with silvered almonds.  Serve and eat with a spoon.  Serves 1

  15. I love icy coffee drinks, so this sounds great. I'll have to wait a few months until it's warm enough to warrant one, but I wonder what it'd be like with the banana blended right in?
