Roo101769 742 Posted June 3, 2014 I may have cracked this nut!! I am a HUGE iced coffee fan in the summer time. I have been seeing commercials advertising those yummy beverages and have been really depressed I can't ( or should I say should not) indulge! So at home for lunch today I decided to take matters into my own hands and by George I think I've got it!!! I have a Keurig coffee maker and when I had my surgery I got a variety pack of K cup Decaf coffee. I am not a huge dark / bold roast lover so I still have a few of those floating around. I popped one into the Keurig and brewed a tall cup. To it I added some stevia, salted caramel SF Torani and skim milk. I poured over ice and I am in HEAVEN!!! It tastes almost identical to the restaurant / coffee shop ones, but without the caffeine sugar and fat!!! Now I have to actually go BUY some more decaf bold roast K cups!!! ( the bold roast allows the coffee flavor to shine thru once you add the ice- doesn't Water down the taste as much) 7 amazon, tnpeach, Makinchanges4me and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted June 3, 2014 I go for the cream, but it always takes up a lot of calories...ah well. I need a vice, I guess. Whatever works for us coffee lovers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BladeFox 235 Posted June 3, 2014 I have been enjoying iced coffee soy latte with sugar free carmel flavoring. Very low calories. I am in HEAVEN! I just don't know if I can do without my coffee. I tried and just didn't feel right to me. (2.5 monts post op.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marfar7 1,533 Posted June 3, 2014 Luv my homemade iced coffee.I make espresso cuz the ice waters it down. And I use REAL coffee. Always a dark roast. I add a little sf coffee Syrup and milk and yumminess... If u put it in the blender with some frozen espresso cubes (hafta make in advance, obviously) u can put it in the blender with a little ice and whalla - a frappucino. I use frozen espresso cubes to use less ice to Water it down less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkinnyScrapper 57 Posted June 19, 2014 chocolate Cappuccino Protein Shake ...one scoop (not the 2 suggested serving size), Java pro (1/2 scoop -- 1.5 is a serving), ice, almond mild, mixed in a blender. Yumm! I found java pro too strong on its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
