Coffee: My New Love

I used to NEVER drink coffee. Even in college ... which isn't even that long ago. I guess I never realized that there were so many variations of coffee drinks and ways to make coffee taste good.

Now that I'm in the real world, coffee has become essential. Waking up before the sunrise and working all day is exhausing, so a cup of java is necessary when I roll into work.

I'm the type of person who loves to try new things, especially when it comes to food or drinks. I get sick of eating or drinking the same thing all the time. I found some really neat coffee smoothie recipies that would be a great breakfast or dessert. Each one of these is 2-3 servings.
