Save Money & Calories: Light International Delight #LightIcedCoffee #Cbias

So, you may have realized that I love coffee. And my favorite coffee, is iced coffee. Having two little ones, I’ve found that at least with iced coffee I don’t ever have to worry about paying for something that I can’t enjoy. Hot coffee? See, that is another story. And as any coffee fanatic will do, I often frequent my local coffeehouse for a quick, easy caffeinated fix.

Now, despite living only two miles from my favorite smiling Barista, I’m always looking for an iced coffee that I can drink {and make} at home. And with recently starting a new healthy eating plan, I’m also more attentive to nutritional values. Things like reduced calories and keeping to a low-sugar coffee drink are much more important. Which makes finding the new {and improved} International Delight Light  Iced Coffee such a treat.

Having found out the new International Delight “light” iced coffee version had hit the dairy aisle over at Walmart, I scooted over and made sure to grab it. I also picked up a another of my coffeehouse favorites {maple syrup} to mix in for the base of my own at-home coffeehouse drink. I absolutely LOVE the complexity that adding maple syrup will do to things. And even for hot coffee, mixing in a bit of maple syrup instead of sugar is divine.

And are you ready for this? Because when you blend {or shake} the International Delight Light Vanilla Iced Coffee with Maple syrup it creates the most fantastic base drink. And I mention the term “base” because from there you can add a ton of other yummy ingredients. I decided to combine my Vanilla Maple Iced Coffee base drink with a spicy Chai Tea Latte mix and the results were amazing. We’re talking TRUE coffeehouse quality here. And get this – it not only fits my budget but I’m still on track for fitting into my skinny jeans!

While I found that the original International Delight Iced Coffee needs a touch of milk when blended, that isn’t the case when mixing this “Light” version. So what makes this “light” version my favorite, is that I can just pop all these ingredients in my stainless steel shaker. This makes the process even faster {and easier} to mix my new at-home coffeehouse favorite without watering it down with ice from a blender. But a blender works great too, and would be a preferred method if you were using peanut butter with this.
