Let’s just not talk about all the calories in this drink… If my husband wants me to sit out back with him and watch the sunrise while drinking coffee, this is one of the only three coffee drinks I will drink (other recipes coming soon).
If you have followed me for a while, you know I am not a big coffee drinker (Coke and Dr. Pepper are my go-to’s), but my husband loves to sip on espresso in the morning on our back porch, so, for our anniversary, I got him this Nespresso by De’Longhi machine in white, and he LOVES it. The bonus is that it also looks really pretty in our kitchen. Since he got it, all he has talked about was me joining him in his morning coffee ritual.
While I have never been a huge coffee fan, I do like a couple of the drinks that Starbucks has, and I have tried to replicate them at home and/or add to them to make them drinkable for me. I do have to say, these are pretty sweet-and I only like a little coffee taste, so if you like coffee, this is probably not the recipe for you!
To me, this takes like a milkshake for breakfast plus, it fills me up, so I don’t have to eat a big breakfast and can go straight into work mode after spending that quality time with him. And if I need a pick me up throughout the day this is a super easy drink to put in my favorite cup and head out the door.
