Coffee goes with mornings like salt goes with pepper. After a few sips of that “liquid gold,” dark under eye circles begin to disappear, and excessive yawning comes to a halt. Many people simply can’t live without it! A different and perhaps more healthy alternative in the morning is the increasingly popular smoothie. What would happen if both of these favorites were combined? The answer is simple: the best breakfast of all time, of course!

Other than patiently waiting for the coffee to freeze, this recipe is a breeze! Of course you can also prepare your smoothie with cooled coffee, but nothing beats an ice-cold drink in the summertime. Cheers!
