You guys. I have discovered the holy grail of breakfast drinks, seriously.

It took a little experimentation but I have finally created the perfect recipe with Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder and coffee (of course!). It’s perfect for those mornings when I am rushing out the door with the boys and need to grab something quick with a kick of caffeine. I just whip one of these babies up in a mason jar and I’m on my way! And boy are they DELICIOUS!

upclose

It starts with purchasing Carnation Breakfast Essentials (I buy mine at Walmart). They have lots of flavors like chocolate, french vanilla, strawberry, and more – so you can definitely customize this recipe to your liking. But this powder is essential to this recipe. It’s packed with 21 vitamins and minerals, has 13g of protein, and contains as much calcium as a 6oz container of yogurt! So, not only are you getting the benefits of added vitamins, you’re also going to stay fuller longer due to that good ol’ protein! It’s the perfect way to kick off your morning so you’re feeling awake, satisfied, and ready to get start your day!

Here’s how to make it:

  1. Brew 10 cups of coffee and place in the fridge overnight. (I usually do this on Sunday so I’m prepared for the week ahead!).
  2. Add creamer to taste.
  3. Grab your cup (I use a pint mason jar)
  4. Fill with crushed ice (blend ice to the consistency that you want)
  5. Pour cold coffee over ice to fill cup.
  6. Add 1/3 Carnation Breakfast Essentials in Chocolate
  7. Stir.
  8. Top with whipped cream & caramel sauce
  9. Enjoy!

That’s easy enough, right? It takes me maybe 2 minutes to whip one of these up before heading out the door. It’s so fast and so delicious. You just can’t help but smile when you drink it!
