Just so you know - Dunkin Donuts is my favorite coffee. It was close to 90 degrees yesterday and I was trying to get some of my gardening done. Lunch time rolled around and while I was hungry, I didn't want anything hot or heavy. And I really needed some coffee. I had brewed some DD french vanilla coffee that I had in the fridge and was nice and cold. And I had some frozen banana so I decided to experiment. Let me tell you - this frozen coffee drink is AWESOME!
This drink does take some prep work. Make your coffee and put in in the fridge to cool.
Slice up a banana (hint, sprinkle the slices with a packet of Splenda - not only is this the sweetner you will use, but it helps keep the slices separated so you don't end up with a frozen blob of banana slices.) Now put those slices in the freezer.
I used my reusable DD cup for this. I put crushed ice up the the bottom pink line on the cup. Then I added about 2 Tbls. of Hersheys Lite Chocolate Syrup. Then I added my cold coffee and frozen banana slices.
I then poured in unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze milk to fill and using my stick blender, turned the whole thing into a smoothie-like coffee dream!
Of course I had to add one more swirl of chocolate syrup! This was the perfect lite lunch and probably the BEST frozen coffee drink I have ever had. This could easily be sugar free by using sugar free chocolate syrup. A wonderful summer drink. I am already prepping another for tomorrow's lunch!
