Starbucks Frappuccino v. Shakeology Cinnamon Coffee Frap — Healthy: YUM-E!

Gotta love a quick breakfast. It's hard to find time in the morning to make a healthy meal. So, to fast-food run, or to find something quick and easy from home?

You could run to Starbucks... I used to do this WAY too often. I'd wait in the line for about 10 minutes (ain't nobody got time for lines in the morning). I don't even like Starbucks coffee... anyone else think it's bitter?
Plain coffee - $3
Previously cooked "healthy" turkey sausage english muffin sandwich - $4
...I feel guilty before it even got in my hands.
Tax and all: about $7.50

I need something quicker, more affordable, and actually healthy.

I used Shakeology a while back and just got back into using the superfood shake mix. I don't want to call it a protein shake, because its got a lot more than protein in it.


I started making shakes again this week, and this morning's was BOMB! Coffee and breakfast shake in one? Yes, Please!


Cinnamon Coffee ShakeO Frappuccino

1/2 cup chilled coffee*
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
2 t. flax seeds
1/4 t. Cinnamon
5-7 ice cubes (depending how big they are, & how thick you like your shake)

Blend all ingredients in blender. 1 1/2 minutes later, ENJOY a guilt-free, PACKED with superfood nutrients on-the-GO!
Total for all ingredients: about $4.75



*When I have leftover coffee, I sometimes store in a tupperware to use the next day. That is PERFECT for this shake!*
