I LOVE coffee! I can't go a day without my coffee. Well, okay I can go a day without coffee, but I prefer not to. Coffee just makes me happy. So the idea of incorporating coffee into a smoothie was something I needed to do.
This smoothie was perfect for after my long run on Sunday. I do not have time to make and drink coffee before church, so I have to wait until after church to get my coffee fix. With getting up early to get in my long run and then sitting in church without any coffee yet, I get sleepy. This smoothie was not only delicious, but kept me full until after church, and the little bit of coffee in it helped to keep me awake. Now I need to find some more coffee smoothies for my Sunday long runs.
