Frugal Recipe: Caramel Mocha Iced Coffee


Contributed By Courtney Horan, Author of Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
While we were away last week, you know I spent a lot of time in a certain Dunkin Donutsusing their Wi-Fi and sipping iced coffees.

Well on one of those occasions, I ended up splurging and ordering myself one of their Caramel Mocha Iced Coffees. I mean, I had been perched underneath the promotional poster for it all week, so I had to give it a try.
This morning, I got a major craving for one again, and I was *this close* to convincing myself that I needed to go out and get one. It IS Coffee Friday and all…
(For those of you reading who may be new to the bloggy, I used to declare Fridays “Coffee Friday” with a trip to Dunkin’ Donuts on my way to work as a treat for brewing my own coffee Monday-Thursday. I looked forward to it every week!)
But since we had just brewed up a brand new pitcher of iced coffee last night, I decided to save my $2.74 and make my own version.

First, I added some chocolate syrup and caramel to the bottom of the glass- probably about a teaspoon of each (which is already cutting boatloads of sugar, had I gotten it from DD).

Next, pour the iced coffee into the glass…

Top it off with some skim milk…

and you’ve got a homemade Caramel Mocha Iced Coffee.

Which, I must say, pairs rather nicely with a whopping cereal combo bowl. Winking smile

Today’s combo was a triple threat: Quaker Oatmeal Squares + Kashi Heart to Heart + Kashi Golden Goodness + blueberries.

As usual with the Kashi Golden Goodness, I held off on adding my almond milk until after picture time was over. Soggy cereal = no good.

This bowl was massive, awesome, and delicious.

Happy Friday, friends!!
