Raspberry Coffee Smoothie

Hola Amigos! The weekend is almost here! It's still raining and on days like this when you feel like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket and read your favorite book (or chocolate dipped blog, hint hint!!) we all could use a little pick me up, a little boost of energy to get everything quickly done!

In one of my weekly trips to the dollar store, I found this little box of Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Instant Coffee. I thought it would be good to try it in a day when just regular coffee wouldn't cut it, but then I decided it to use it for this smoothie and it was just perfect!

 Here are the ingredients:
Chocolate Raspberry Coffee Smoothie

1 1/2 Cup of Strong Brewed Coffee Chilled
(I used 2 envelopes for this amount of  water, if you want it stronger it's ok)
1 (8oz) Container of Raspberry Yogurt Chilled

1 Cup Frozen Raspberries
3/4 Cup Raspberry Sherbet

In a blender combine all the ingredients except the sherbet. Blend it on high until raspberries are pureed and smooth. Add the Sherbet and blend it on high again until everything is combined and 
smooth!

Listo,

It's refreshing and delicious with the plus of the caffeine infusion.

This would be from  now on my go to energy drink. 
Oh and the important thing, low calorie too! Don't you love that!

Thank You for coming today and visit the blog. Remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos, 
Lizy

    That is a great find and an even better way of serving it up! A smoothie with a bit of caffeine!

    This looks good, and I used to have a set of those glasses!! I really like those. :)

    This rain is nice, way better than snow, but it'll be even nicer to have some warm weather coming around. It's cold today.

    This looks fantastic! Anything with a little caffeine is a plus in my book! I'm going to pin it and hopefully try soon. Stopping by from In and Out of the Kitchen.
