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

ReplyDeleteLooks good! Amazing how the bananas stays at the top! Got to try this out!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI'm also not a morning person and rarely make breakfast. Cereal is the solution to prepare for work. The drink sounds good.
ReplyDeleteSounds good and Healthy!! My kind of drinks!
ReplyDeleteOoh, use of the blender is such a good idea! I need to get one to uni now so that I can use it :D Love the addition of banana too, I always think it's the best fruit to match milky drinks!
ReplyDeleteCool and nutritious after your run. Great in the hot weather. xx
ReplyDeleteNeat idea! I always have espresso powder on hand because I love to bake with it but can't stand it to drink :)
