I know we’re a week past daylight savings time, but I feel like I’ve been hearing “I’m so tired” from EVERYONE, myself & J included lately. SO, this is me saying I hear you, I see you & I’m making you a smoothie with coffee and actually filling ingredients to get you through this little slump.

I go back and forth with smoothie love, sometimes I’m really into them and sometimes I’m not! But lately, ever since I discovered Daily Harvest, I’ve been craving them big time.

One thing that I love about the smoothies I get from Daily Harvest is that a lot of them have really filling ingredients in them. A bit of frozen fruit and milk is rarely enough to be a meal or even a snack for me.

So, I decided to add some sweet potato here to add bulk, good for you carbs & calories to help power me though my day. You feel?

If you’re a smoothie fan, this Easy Green Apple Smoothie has been getting a TON of love lately!

Frothy Irish Coffee with Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Frothy Irish Coffee made easily in the blender topped with Cinnamon Infused Whipped Cream.

So, coffee and whiskey. Let’s talk o’ ’bout it, friends. Good lawd is there a better combo? Really? I mean, chocolate and peanut butter is so 2018. In 2019, the new thing should be coffee and whiskey.

Alright, that sounds a little dangerous. But, these Irish Coffees are to die for. I made them for the first time, on a whim, a few years ago – I was too lazy to grab sugar from the cabinet, I had maple syrup right in front of me and BAM. So good. Making them in the blender is so fast, and you get that froth factor big itme.

You could easily sub the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk and coconut whipped cream…or just go for the dairy stuff.

Whatever you’re feeling…just make them as fast as you can!

And savor every last sip.

Hi, my name is Allie and I love coffee. Like I LOVE it. Confession – I’m one of those annoying people who actually drink black coffee. Ugh, I know. I’m the worst.

My earliest memories of drinking coffee were around age 6. Yep, you read that correctly. On holidays, my dad would brew a pot of coffee with dessert (we probably were having pumpkin or apple pie if it was around this time of year) and I would climb on his lap and sip his cup with him. My mom and my aunt would lose it. They’re both uder 5’4″ so everyone was terrified of stunting my growth.

Jokes on them, ha! I’m a solid 5’8″-5’9″.

see my poor mom in there? she’s right next to me. pint-sized but we love her. (ps i love this photo. both of our families at our wedding)

ANYWHO – coffee, it turns out had no effect on my height. It never lets me down. Especially when the temps start dropping and the leaves start falling.

But here’s the thing – since I actually like the taste of coffee, I feel like I’m a pretty good judge when it comes to this latte business. I’m not into that fake tasting, syrup filled stuff. To me, a latte is kind of an art form. It’s well balanced, has flavor and you can still taste the coffee, even if it’s a touch sweet.

And pumpkin lattes? The trend is not lost on me. No sirebob. So I decided to add some chai spice in there. Extra, but easy. That’s my life motto now. Ya dig, dawgs? Good. Now go make this latte!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. hot, black coffee
  • 1 Tbsp. butter*
  • 1 Tbsp. pumpkin puree
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper – optional
  • 1 scoop unflavored collagen powder – optional*

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
  2. Liquify until frothy.
  3. Pour into a mug and serve.

Notes

  • I always use grass fed, good quality butter like Kerrygold or Organic Valley. You can also use coconut oil, but the fat is needed for froth.
  • Collagen peptides also contribute to the froth factor. If you don’t have them omit, but I always put them in my coffee. They’re flavorless!
