Seattle's Best Coffee: Frozen Coffee Blends Coffee Chiller

So happy i actually tried this. 1. it was yummy, 2. i buy frozen drink things but rarely actually make them :(

Seeing how it looked outside of the bad pretty much reminded me of the posts i've seen on pinterest about just freezing left over coffee in an ice cube tray to make your own frappes.

There's a picture of it with the milk that is needed for it.

I don't have a pretty after picture but here's how it looked after blending it.

I always get alittle worried on coffee drinks because i don't like it too strong. This was Delicious though! I want to go get more of these to have on hot days, or even cold lol. There were at least 2 other flavors i think, off hand don't remember what they were, but i might go try those since i liked this one. It might of been a little smoother if i actually used blender, but i liked using a spoon to eat it until it got to melty for the spoon.

My Heart Shaped Mug

I have a thing for mugs....i don't know why, just do. Well one mug that i've seen online that i've always wanted was a heart shaped one. I was at goodwill and just happened upon this mug and felt like i just needed it and then seeing the price tag of $.99 just made me need it even more.

It comes with a little spoon that sits in the handle when not using it. It's also dishwasher and microwave safe, plus plus :)

This drink i started with for first pictures was just my coffee. Did black coffee for the first picture and took pictures after adding creamer because i like my coffee with creamer.

Skinny Coffee Frappuccino

I had randomly thought last night that since my coffee drink is already mixed and flavored, if i just added ice to it in a blender, i could make a frappuccino. It for the most part worked.

This is the coffee drink i used: http://mendsexperiences.blogspot.com/2013/05/genesis-today-skinny-coffee-vanilla.html

Taste wise, it was good. pretty much was just the drink with ice in it lol. I used my ninja rather than using a blender, so it had biggish ice pieces. Small enough to drink with a straw(not the small kind), but wasn't super smooth like you'd get by using a blender.

I did about a cups worth of the drink, and maybe 2 cups of ice. Here's the picture before i ran it.

With those amounts, it pretty much made two of them. Next time i will either try less ice or less ice and less drink. The processing also fluffed up the coffee drink to where the while thing became full of the drink.

i had to take alittle out just to be able to grab the blades to take out easier lol.

I will also try another idea i had for a frappuccino that i saw on pinterest(i think that's where i saw it) once i get a ice cube tray.

Lastly i wanted to share my deal i figured out on the skinny coffee.

I went to go get more of the little ones i bought before because that is what i was pretty sure i only saw. Once i was at walmart and about to go grab some, i saw these large ones. Checking them out, these large ones were a better deal. You lose the easy on the go the little ones give you, but i don't need them on the go really, and i have to go cups at home i could use.
Anyways. The little ones are like around 11 ounces and cost over $3 each. These large ones are about 33 ounces and cost under $6. So you get close to 3 times the amount for under double the cost the little ones. talk about a deal!
Even the cashier was pleasantly surprised on the deal of the large ones. I don't think she's tried the drinks before but she did notice the price and size of them. I had also a different flavor of one of the little ones so she saw the difference that way.

Genesis Today Skinny Coffee Vanilla Latte

I think what caught my attention to try this was seeing the word "skinny". I like trying all sort of new things(even if it scares me lol) and i like seeing what healthy items actually taste good. It being a coffee drink also caught my attention. I sometimes get a little picky on coffee drinks because i don't like it too strong.

Looking at the package, just look at all that stuff that makes it look so healthy. "50% fewer calories", "skinny", "supports: energy, Healthy weight" "green coffee beverage".
Here's a page about green coffee if you aren't sure on what it is. [Link]

For taste, i find that this taste very close to this drink

Probably not exactly, but it's been awhile since i've had a java monster. But i always liked Mean Bean the best, so since it tastes close to that, i really like this skinny coffee drink. There was another flavor that i'll have to try.

here's the section of the container that gives info on it. sorry if a little hard to read in the picture.


I plan on buying more of these for my coffee for the summer. It's refreshing and does seem to give me a perk, unlike normal coffee, so will be good for hot mornings.
