I could see using the Banana Almond Milk in a smoothie.

Ooh, that would be good! M maggiedemi only seems to like hot drinks, though, and I can't imagine it being good warm.

Oh, hot drinks!

Maybe in hot chocolate? With a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg?
Almost like a liquid Bananas Foster.

That sounds like something I would like! I kind of want to try it now.

Black, but the darn thing kept cooling off lol

plain kona coffee

It's worth a try! Thanks for the idea. Might be good with my vanilla cappuccino powder too.

That naughty coffee. Ha!

Half Cup Water, Half Cup Good Karma Sweetened Original Plant Milk (Pea, Flax, Oat), 1/4 Cup Caffe D'Vita Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Powder, 1Tsp Pilon Instant Espresso. Microwaved 2 minutes 20 seconds. Added powders last 40 seconds. I bought this brand of cappuccino before and didn't care for it, and I still don't really like it, but maybe it will grow on me.

Okay, got my free Dunkin on the way to grocery pick up, because a suck little toddler was up a lot last night, and they charged me $.67 for it! Apparently plant milk doesn't count in free drinks?

J's doing much better.

 

[Furballsmom]

I had a couple outside chores, and it's not quite t-shirt weather yet, so black and hot, and just

 

[maggiedemi]

Half Cup Water, Half Cup Good Karma Sweetened Original Plant Milk (Pea, Flax, Oat), 1/3 Cup Caffe D'Vita Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Powder, 1/2TB Pilon Instant Espresso. Microwaved 2 minutes 20 seconds. Added powders last 40 seconds. I'll leave out the extra instant coffee later and see if I like it better that way...

Yesterday I had my usual dark roast coffee before leaving the house, then we met our oldest for a very nice Mother's Day lunch in the city where I had a cappuccino and stopped for an iced coffee on the way home. I was well caffeinated.

Dark roast coffee this morning then headed out to buy my annuals to plant on the patio.

 

[game misconduct]

same old kona coffee

 

[maggiedemi]

I had a cappuccino

Was it unsweetened? Probably nothing like my sugary concoctions!

Cup Good Karma Sweetened Original Plant Milk (Pea, Flax, Oat), 1/3 Cup Caffe D'Vita Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Powder. Microwaved 2 minutes 10 seconds. Added powders last 40 seconds. Yum! Finally it tasted fabulous!

I left out the instant coffee and the water. And took 10 seconds off the cooking time. So one of those 3 things was ruining my drink. Maybe the instant coffee.

Anyway, I blamed the brand of cappuccino, but it was delicious made this way. Now I have to retry all the cappuccino flavors and make it like this. That will be fun.

 

[neely]

Was it unsweetened? Probably nothing like my sugary concoctions!

Yes, unsweetened but I asked them to put cinnamon on top. Instead they brought me a small dish with cinnamon so I could put the desired amount on myself.

 

[Furballsmom]

Hmmm. Hot, but I had to add sweetener, and it still just isn't tasting right.

 

[maggiedemi]

it still just isn't tasting right.

Man, I know the feeling! It's hard being your own barista and getting the drinks just right.

Cup of Rise Original Oat Milk, 1/4 Cup Caffe D'Vita Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Powder. Microwaved 2 minutes 10 seconds. Added powder last 40 seconds, and it overflowed all over the microwave! Bah!

I can't help it, it tastes so much better with 1/3 Cup cappuccino powder rather than 1/4. But it's kinda expensive using that much. Guess I'll have to buy in bulk.

 

[maggiedemi]

Oat Milk must have it's own sugar. Because this oat milk has no sugar in the ingredients list, but it still has 8 grams of sugar in it.

We went to this coffee shop after stroller strides. I got a buttered croissant and a coffee with almond milk and I asked for a lot of sugar, but I think they forgot the sugar. I think they were training new people.

Oh well.

 

[maggiedemi]

I got a buttered croissant and a coffee with almond milk and I asked for a lot of sugar,

Well at least you got the croissant. Was that good? Did you ask for 7 sugars or just a lot of sugar? I guess you have to be exact with some people. Hammer it out for them! Gimmee my 7 sugars!!!!!

It was pretty good, but took a long time. I just asked for a lot, so maybe I needed to be more specific, but I'm pretty sure they didn't put any in.
