Buffalo Buzz

Yes I would rather be eating Ben and Jerry’s Bonaroo Buzz, but the frozen coffees I made Adam and myself this morning were a nice substitute!

For two (large) coffees into the blender went:

  • 8 ice cubes
  • 12 oz of coffee (cinnanut blend from Wegman’s)
  • 6 oz of Silk Light Vanilla Soy Milk
  • 3 Tbsp white sugar

I imagine that a Vitamix would turn this into velvet, but my $40 blender made something pretty great too.  I’ve been craving fair-style frozen lemonade all Spring and this had a similar texture.

I volunteered to pick up an extra day shift at work today so I needed a breakfast that would carry me through 10:30-4:30 carrying trays up and down stairs.

Greek yogurt is always the answer to a breakfast that will carry me through.

0% Plain Fage topped with 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup, a crumbled pumpkin muffin, and a big handful of blackberries.

I originally bought the berries for a a baked pomegranate chicken dish (which turned into bbq chicken sandwiches and is currently sitting in my crock pot) but I’m so glad I ate them raw because they are sweet and delicious!  Buffalo readers – Wegman’s on Amherst has these babies at $4 for 2 pints right now.

What’s your favorite summer fruit?  My answer will be plums (or pluots, mmmmmn!) if I ever find them in season!

  1. I agree with Katie, watermelon is my jam! It might because the town I grew up in Ukraine before moving to the U.S. was known for its amazing watermelons, people from all over the country would come to have some!

    Nice breakfast, I should try the coffee in blender business.
