My afternoon pick me up....

Whether you are a stay at home mom
A working lady
A working man
A retired grandparent
A college student
A bum on the street

Everybody needs an afternoon pick me up.
Yes, afternoons can be hard on everybody.

And, yes, naps aren't really an option for most.
Coffee is though..
And i feel so bad for those that don't enjoy such stuff.

So this is what i do. For a fast, cheap, nottomentionlowcalorie pick me up..

First off i take my leftover coffee from breakfast and pour it into a cup..
Then i spoon a teaspoon or two of brown sugar in. You can do chocolate or whatever you wish. I was made aware of adding brown sugar just not long ago.. And it is good.. It not only sweetens it but also gives it a Carmel flavor.. Stir real good...


Next up i pour a little bit of milk in...


 Then i add ice....
And lastly a straw..


And there you have it.. 
The greatest thing since sliced bread!! 
Its fast!
Its cheap!
It's yummy!
And if you are counting calories.. There is 11 cal. in a teaspoon of brown sugar.. And zero calories in coffee and ice.. And if you like strong coffee flavor then you don't need much milk splashed in........ 

Ahhhh... i'm lovin' it!
You so gotta try this the next time you need an extra boost to your afternoon!! :)

  2. Oh, I agree! I am not a morning coffee drinker, but when afternoon rolls around, I'm always very happy if there's some left in the coffee maker from husband's morning coffee . . . I usually use agave or xylitol sugar . . . but I'll have to give the brown sugar a try, after we're off of Maker's Diet, that is! :) I like your little "coffee corner" too.
