STARBUCKS JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO BLENDED COFFEE RECIPE

Good morning! I hope you're having an amazing day wherever you are!

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about breakfast. Specifically breakfast ideas that you can take with you or a breakfast that you can eat or drink on the way to work.

Because I'm that girl that is ALWAYS late. No matter how hard I try or prepare, I am that perpetual late girl. My BFF actually almost bought me a shirt the other day that said, "I hate being late, but I'm so good at it."

So one thing that I've done to save time (and money) in the morning is to make my own ice-blended coffee aka poor girl's frappuccino.

This has been my go-to drink for the past few weeks. It gives me the energy I need to get my morning started and it is packed full of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to keep me going until it's snack time.

If you love the Java Chip Frap light version from Starbucks, you're in for a treat with this copycat skinny java chip frappuccino!

Take it up a notch and add in this delicious cinnamon dolce syrup.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

Other coffees that I have been loving are FOUR SIGMATIC MUSHROOM COFFEE.

Don't get freaked out! They don't taste like mushrooms at all! These coffee's just give you a little more pep in your step. They have different kinds, some for focus, others for energy, and they even have a hot chocolate.

If you try them you won't be disappointed! Let me know in the comments if you try them and what you thought about them.
