I love making unique iced coffee from home! There are so many different kinds you can make including candy bars, cookies and more! The thing is, a lot of people just try adding ice to coffee with some sugar and that does not taste that great. I like to add some creamer AND some milk or half & half to make it a little more creamy. Enjoy….

Thin Mint Iced Coffee

Ingredients

2 cups of coffee or 2 k-cups
¼ C. Coffee-Mate Thin Mint coffee creamer
¼ C. milk or half & half
Whipped cream topping (optional)

Directions:

#1. Pour your 2 cups of coffee into ice cube trays and freeze for several hours.

#2. Remove from the freezer and add 2 cups of the frozen coffee cubes into the blender. Add ¼ C. of milk, ¼ cup of Thin Mint creamer and blend. You can always add a bit more creamer depending on how ‘minty’ you want your iced coffee to be.

**You can also substitute cold coffee for the milk depending on how strong you like your coffee.

Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.

If you add a lot of ice cubes you will get a cool, refreshing drink or add less ice and you’ll get a warm, sweet drink.

You can always add a little sugar if needed but I love it with just the vanilla syrup and a little cinnamon. Enjoy…

2 Cups mango nectar (this is normally found in the Mexican food aisle or juice aisle)
1 Box of lemon-flavor gelatin (I use Lemon Jell-O)
1 Cup boiling water

2 tablespoons honey
Candy corn for topping

Instructions

Start boiling water
Add gelatin to boiling water and stir until disolved
Stir in mango nectar
Pour mixture into a clear 2 quart pitcher
Cover and put in fridge for 3 hours (may take a little longer - you want it thick but not set)
Gently pour orange soda in (TIP - This tip helps a TON, stick a wooden spoon right over top the gelatin mix and pour the orange soda with your cup touching the spoon, over top the wooden spoon so the soda runs down the spoon. Do this SLOWLY.
Combine whipping cream and honey then mix with a beater for a few minutes until peaks form in whipped cream.
Use a spoon to softly put the whip over the soda...it doesn't sink like you'd think.
Enjoy! (Stir before drinking)

Easy Mulled Caramel Apple Cider

During the fall and winter months, I love to make Mulled Caramel Apple Cider. Spicy and sweet, it’s the perfect finish to a long day working in the yard or sitting by the fire. It’s a fantastically easy thing to make, and you can even make it in a slow cooker! For years I made a simple mulled apple cider, but after finding a caramel sauce that I love, I knew I had to add it to my tried and true recipe for a bump in flavor.

Spices Make the Mulled Caramel Apple Cider Perfect

A spice blend of whole and ground spices make Mulled Caramel Apple Cider perfect. I start with fresh cinnamon sticks and whole cloves for a strong, beautiful flavor that infuses into the Mulled Caramel Apple Cider as it simmers. Ground allspice and nutmeg round out the flavor and add a richness that warms you as you sip.

Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes

Milkshakes are a pretty standard drink, especially during the summer. They have been around in many forms for a long time, without many changes other than new flavors and flavor mixes. While soda shops and milkshake stands aren’t around much anymore, you can turn your kitchen into a milkshake stand with a simple blender. Make sure you have lots of glasses and straws because Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes are sure to become a favorite!

Gingerale Makes Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes Amazing

The basic milkshake is ice cream, milk, and flavoring. Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes skip the milk and uses frozen berries for the flavoring. Blending them in a blender makes a beautiful base for the secret ingredient: gingerale. Tangy and sweet, it adds a great fizz and flavor to an otherwise delicious but flat milkshake. I love Canada Dry Gingerale for the Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes because it has the perfect flavor that compliments the berries well and melds with the vanilla in the ice cream.

Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes Without the Berries

Are you not a fan of berries? Have no fear! There are other flavors you could add to Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes instead of berries! Chocolate syrup, mixed with the ice cream then combined with gingerale makes a fantastic Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes, sans berries! Gingerale goes with so many different flavors. Try using a vanilla bean ice cream, add a little of the gingerale to the blender, then pour more gingerale over it in your glass for a great cream soda. Don’t let a dislike for berries or maybe even an allergy to them prevent you from Fizzy Berry Burst Milkshakes!

Fat Burning Detox Drink Recipe

Fat Burning Detox

Fat Burning Detox Drink

I’ve got another Detox drink for you! This one is a fat burning concoction that really does the job. See below why it works:

First up is my favorite ingredient….Apple Cider Vinegar! I always feel happier and better when I have this in my drink (I try to drink it every day). This is SO good for you and you can see ALL of the reasons and 20 Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar (Weight Loss, Acne, Hair, Skin, and MORE!) in my post here.

Cinnamon..I love this almost as much as the vinegar. Cinnamon helps boost your metabolism, regulates blood sugar, stops food cravings. Cinnamon actually imitates the activity of insulin and increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat by the body, it helps prevent this and helps you to lose weight. Cinnamon is rich in manganese, iron, calcium and fiber.

Lemon juice contains pectin, a soluble fiber that has been shown to help with weight-loss. Lemon juice also helps get rid of the toxins in your body that cause you to keep weight on. Lemon also has a ton of Vitamin C.

Apples – The fiber helps you feel full longer because it expands in your stomach so it takes less food to satisfy your hunger. I recommend eating the apples you put in the drink after you drink it. Cinnamon Apples…YUM!

See Recipe Below:

Weight Loss Detox Drink

*Get more RECIPES from Raining Hot Coupons here*

This weight loss detox drink makes you feel better and is very refreshing.

This next recipe is for a weight loss detox drink. It helps to flatten your tummy and helps you to feel great. I always love drinking detox drinks especially during the Summer (see my Stress Relieving Detox drink here) so I have no problem drinking this refreshing drink. What’s nice is that is makes a good amount and you drink 2-3 glasses a day which means it will last you a few days. Also, since you are drinking 2 glasses, that goes towards your needed daily water intake.

Also, I have been drinking this myself and have already lost 3 pounds….simply AMAZING!!!

See the weight loss detox drink recipe below:

There are a couple reasons this detox drink recipe helps with belly fat….First would be the hydration aspect. Making sure you drink enough water every day will help you lose weight by itself. Then add these special ingredients like ginger (which helps calm your GI tract) and you’ve got an awesome detox.

Benefits of mint – Mint leaves can help you lose weight because it stimulates the digestion of fat. Mint helps in eliminating toxins from the body and also helps with tummy aches.

Benefits of Lemon – they are full of Vitamin C and lemon juice is a digestive aid and liver cleanser.

Benefits of Cucumber – Did you know that cucumber actually has 95% water content that is actually more nutritious than plain water?! It will help keep you hydrated and also helps in flushing out the toxins from the body.

Benefits of Lime – The citric acid in lime is an excellent fat burner and is full of antioxidants.

Below are 11 Summer Drink Recipes that you and the kiddos will love all Summer long.

The sun is out, the kids are on summer break and it is time to enjoy some sunshine! When I think of summer I think of barbecues, pool parties, enjoying some much-needed time with my family and refreshing drinks to stay cool. Here is a list of drinks that I’m willing to bet your family will love to have this summer. I know I can’t wait to make a few of these!

11 Family Friendly Summer Drinks

1. Pina Colado Smoothie – Smoother and summer just go together. There isn’t anything much better than cooling off with a refreshing smoothing. The adults will love this virgin Pina Colado smoothie!

2. Strawberry Lemonade Recipe from Scratch – When it gets hot outside, it is SO nice to have some sweet and fresh home made lemonade. Add some Strawberries and it gets even better! This recipe is super easy and makes a delicious Summer treat.

3. Cherry Cola Smoothie – Growing up I loved Cherry Cola and this is such a unique twist on a traditional soda. I think kids will really enjoy this one.

4. Classic Vanilla Malt – Nothing like a good old fashion malt. You can really take this recipe and make it your own. Get creative, try different flavors or maybe add in some toppings!

5. Strawberry Mango Smoothie – On a hot day I love enjoying fresh fruit and this recipe is packed with fresh fruit. Nothing says tropical like strawberry and mango put together.

6. Watermelon Blueberry Smoothie – You don’t find watermelon drink recipes all that often. When I came across this one I knew I was going to have to try it.

7. Easy Watermelon Lemonade – Lemonade is a favorite in our household and I’ve never once thought to add watermelon to it. I think this drink would go over really good at a family barbecue.

8. Homemade Soda Pop – I know a lot of people try to eliminate soda from their homes, which I think is great! However, I think it would be fun to make this homemade soda pop with the kids. The kids would really enjoy making their own soda and getting a special treat.

9. Cake Batter Milkshake – The picture alone on this one is enough to make you want this drink. It is such a gorgeous drink, I had to read it twice to make sure there wasn’t alcohol in it. Sure enough this one is family friendly.

10. Pineapple Whip – Pineapple screams tropical! Try having a luau this summer and serve up this drink. Your friends and family will feel like they are in the tropics.

11. Homemade Strawberry Lemonade – Once again lemonade is a favorite and adding strawberry to it just makes it even more tasty. The kids might even enjoy making this for a lemonade stand this summer.

Orange Julius at Home in Minutes

If you’ve ever had an Orange Julius, you know how the orange creaminess can make a bad day so much better. I always have one when I go to the local mall. It’s my treat for dealing with the crowds, or saving money at a good sale. While they come in many flavors, the original Orange Julius is by far my favorite. Lately, though, I’ve been on a kick of knowing what goes into my food, and eating out, even an Orange Julius, has gone by the wayside. In order to save money, and know what’s in my food, I started trying to make them at home. While Orange Julius’s cost varies from location to location, you can pay $3 for a medium! With this recipe, you can make 4 mediums for about the same price! What a savings!

Making an Orange Julius Healthy

In looking on the Orange Julius website, their version contains things like karaya gum, artificial flavors, dipotassium phosphate, and guar gum. I have a rule in my cooking: use as many natural ingredients, and avoid as many things as I can that I have to google to know what they are. I avoided those things by using frozen orange pineapple juice concentrate, milk, and raw sugar. You could easily use stevia in this recipe too, if that is your favorite sweetener. By using natural ingredients, you get amazing flavor and you know you are giving your kids something that’s pretty healthy for them.

Copy Cat Orange Julius Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 can (12 oz) frozen Orange Pineapple Juice Concentrate
1 C half n half or milk
1/4 C sugar (white, raw, or stevia)
1 C water
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
10 ice cubes

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a blender.
Pulse until the ice is pulverized and the mixture is frothy.
Pour into glasses and enjoy!

Frozen Orange Julius: Freeze the Leftovers!

The recipe makes 4 servings, but often it’s just me to drink them. Take the Orange Julius leftovers and put them in a popsicle mold then freeze them. They will be similar to an orange dreamcicle, only better! In the summer, this will be an amazing treat for your kids and you!

Italian Ice ~ Less Calories, All the Flavor

Who doesn’t love an amazing Italian Ice in the heat of the summer to cool you off? Sometimes you can get them at fairs and carnivals, or maybe a local ice cream shop has them, or something similar. Now you can make them at home, with less calories, thanks to stevia! This wonderful little sweetener comes from the leaf of the stevia plant, which you can even grow at home! I crush some of these fantastic leaves in my tea and lemonade all summer, giving them a boost of natural sweetness, minus the calories of sugar!

Easy and Quick, Italian Ice in Minutes!

With the aid of a great blender, you’ll have Italian Ice in minutes! You can also make this up in larger batches and freeze it, serving it up with a splash of a lemon-lime soda for a fizzy twist. For parties, I’ll add a splash of vodka or white rum for the adults, making this a great refresher beverage. And, if you’re not worried about the calories, you can use regular sugar too! This is such a versatile recipe!

Italian Ice Recipe ~ Stevia Sweetened for Your Sipping Pleasure

Ingredients

2 lemons, juiced and seeds removed
1 T stevia
2 C ice

Instructions

Add the ingredients to the jar of a blender.
Pulse until the ice cubes are slushed.
Serve immediately or freeze for later.

Not a Fan of Lemon? Try Strawberry or Peach!

Grab some fresh or frozen strawberries or peaches for this fantastic drink! I love having peach Italian Ice in the freezer for the end of a great day. I can sit out on the back porch, wait for the grill to cook the perfect burger and watch the sun set with my peach Italian Ice. It truly is the perfect ending to the perfect day!

A Berry Power Smoothie is a Great Start to Your Day

I love to start my day with a flavorful Berry Power Smoothie, full of things to get my motor in gear for the day. Greek yogurt mixed with strawberries and blueberries are a good start to an average smoothie. But if it’s breakfast, you need more than just some yogurt and berries to keep you going! In our busy lives, we need something that not only wakes us up, but gives us the nutrition we need on the go.

Making Your Berry Power Smoothies Powerful

Pump up your energy with a little bit of protein powder in your Berry Power Smoothie. It gives you a boost to keep your energy going all morning, and thickens your smoothie a bit so it’s more like a milkshake. It also makes you feel a bit more full, so you can concentrate on what you’re doing, and not your growling stomach.

Adding Vitamins to Your Berry Power Smoothie

I love to round out my Berry Power Smoothie with some vitamins, and the easiest form I’ve found to use is Emergen-C type powder packets. If I’m feeling a little run down, or like I might be getting a cold, I add one to my smoothie in the morning to get a little extra vitamin C in my system, as well as some other great vitamins like B complex. Try as I might, I can’t quite get enough in through my diet so I boost it with something extra. The powder packets give your Berry Power Smoothie just a little bit of fizz, which is kind of fun in the morning!

Perfect Breakfast: Berry Power Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

1 C Greek yogurt
1 C strawberries, washed and cut into quarters
1/2 C blueberries, washed
1 scoop protein powder (optional)
1 packet Emergen-C (optional)

Instructions

Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve immediately.

http://www.raininghotcoupons.com/perfect-breakfast-berry-power-smoothie-recipe/

Make A Berry Power Smoothie for Breakfast or Lunch!

Are you a person on the go? You can make up the base for the Berry Power Smoothie, just the berries and yogurt, and take it to work, adding the powders when you are ready to drink it, if you like. This gives you the flexibility to have a Berry Power Smoothie for lunch if you are going to be too busy to take a lunch break. It’s also nice to make up a batch the night before, and have it ready when you are walking out the door in the morning.

1 C Greek yogurt

1 C strawberries, washed and cut into quarters

1/2 C blueberries, washed

1 scoop protein powder (optional)

1 packet Emergen-C (optional)

Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately.

Make up a Berry Power Smoothie and make your morning powerful!

Healthy GREEN Drink Smoothie Recipe!

This Raining Hot Coupons deal was posted on March 26, 2012 at 11:00 am MST Leave a Comment

Serves about 2-3

It’s not Dr. Seuss day and this isn’t a monster drink (although it may be a great way to convince your HULK loving kiddos to drink this smoothie)! It’s called a “Green Drink” and it sure tastes good….

You can use fresh, organic pineapple as well but I had Pineapple in a can in my cupboard and wanted to use what I had…Just don’t add the juice from the can, it’s unneeded sugar. You can also choose to use organic greek yogurt but I’m warning you, it won’t mask the taste of the spinach like the Yoplait does. =) Or you could even get just an organic strawberry (or flavored yogurt) yes, it may have some sugar but it’s what helps mask the Spinach where all the true nutrients are.

I’ve heard they make you feel SOOO good so I’ve been on a mission to trying them out…the one this morning was DELICIOUS!!! I am going to try adding peanut butter tomorrow. YUM! Also, I heard the pounds just melt off when you drink these every morning.

Don’t worry, they taste a lot better than they look and they don’t taste “healthy” at all….even though they are! 😉

Ingredients:

2 large handfuls of Baby Spinach
1 Cup of Chunk Pineapple – you can use fresh, organic as well but I had Pineapple in a can in my cupboard and wanted to use what I had…Just don’t add the juice from the can, it’s unneeded sugar.
2 Bananas
1 cup of Yogurt (you can always use Greek Yogurt for this to make it a little healthier)
1 cup of water
About 10 ice cubes

Blend it all together and VOILA, a yummy, nutritious breakfast or snack!

Like I said, tomorrow I’m trying Peanut Butter….anyone else have any good recipes for a “Green Drink”?
