Don't Throw your Leftover Coffee Away!

If you love coffee and chocolate like I do, you'll flip over this smoothie.  The secret?  Frozen coffee cubes!  Yes, that's right.  You'll need to plan ahead for this smoothie.  So the next time you have some left over coffee, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze in the freezer. Cubes will be ready for use the next day.

To make "Day-Old Coffee Smoothie":

Blend following ingredients until smooth:

1 1/2 cups chilled Almond Milk or Soy milk (you can use substitute cow milk if you prefer)
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp agave syrup (you can substitute honey if you don't have agave)
1 1/4 cups strong brewed coffee (frozen into ice cubes)
1 tsp vanilla extract

I'm going to try this! Also, you could make espresso martinis by using the cubes, milk, vodka and Godiva (only the best will do) chocolate liquor. Blend, pour and then top with homemade whipped cream dusted with cocoa powder. Tis the season!
