Enjoy These Coffee Smoothie Recipes Any Time Of The Year

If you enjoy coffee, then you will enjoy these coffee smoothie recipes. But first, a little background.

Coffee is a beverage enjoyed by billions around the globe. It’s grown mostly in temperate and tropical climates, so it has to be imported to most regions.

Here is where the debate starts.

There are dozens of ways to roast the coffee beans, and as many ways to brewing. Which way is right? The one that suits your personal tastes and preferences is going to be the right one for you.

However, you might find that the taste and flavor of coffee is something you acquire, and as time goes on, you become pickier about that. Generally, for coffee smoothie recipes, we suggest you use premium roast, or better, fresh coffee beans that you grind at home.

I myself grew up on supermarket cheap coffee, until, one day, my sister opened Kowalski Sister’s Coffee Company…Once I tasted these exotic blends they offered, I could never go back.

The real insider information on how to make coffee in it's infinite variety can be found at Nick Usborne"s site "The Coffee Detective.

Back to the coffee smoothie recipes topic. As summer approaches, coffee lovers taste change to iced coffees, iced mocha's, and iced cappuccinos.

Usually these are made from a mixture of chilled regular or decaf coffee, milk, or cream and some type of sweetener, sugar, or liquid flavored sweetener such as vanilla.

Pour over ice, stir, and that’s it...pretty simple...and pretty boring.

We just want you to step it up a bit. Treat your friends to a real coffee smoothie...here's how!

You can make coffee smoothies at home easily, although you need to buy some supplies up front. For most coffee smoothie recipes, you will need the following:

• Instant coffee
• Instant espresso
• Half and half creamer
• Vanilla syrup
• Caramel syrup
• Ice cream
• Coffee flavored liqueur (optional)
• Peanut butter, non chunky.

You can always use leftover coffee, but the flavor will not be as intense as the instant coffees. Starbucks now sells instant coffee packets at Costco for about 50 cents each, and it's really good coffee. You can make 2 smoothies out of one package.

Another great flavor is to add chocolate to coffee smoothies. Viola! You have an iced coffee cappuccino! Chocolate has some interesting soothing and relaxing properties as well as some healthy benefits. Here are a couple of chocolate smoothie recipes you may want to investigate.

Try these 2 recipes at home, then use your imagination and get creative!
