When I ran the ASICS LA Marathon back in March, I was fortunate enough to be able to take home a NutriBullet courtesy of being a member of the ASICS Blogger Challenge. I always see photos of other runners and fitness folks rocking their smoothies and shaker cups on Instagram, so I am super excited to see what I can mix up… just one problem, I don’t know how to make anything.
I reached out to some friends on the interwebs to see if they had some “coffee-related” recipes. My first thought was to start the morning with making something at home. Since I typically start the day with a Starbucks, I thought we would keep it close to the routine before we start mixing up green kale smoothies with protein and powder (is that a real thing?).
Here are some recipes that were shared:

I’m definitely gong to be playing around with making coffee in my NutriBullet. The first one that I made was with whole milk and coffee-flavored ice cream with chocolate chips. Obviously, I need to work on the health content in what I am blending… that is why I called on the super-list above. I need to step up my mixing game.
Let’s create a coffee-recipe link up!
There you have it… looking forward to what we all come up with. I don’t really do too many blog posts around food or recipes… so this should be fun as I take a look at what I can mix up in the kitchen — see what I did there?
What’s your favorite thing to blend?

COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you see my IG posts on coffee, you know I am a true coffee lover! :)
I don’t do much blending because all I have is a secondhand blender, but overnight oats (frozen raspberries, Greek yogurt and a few spices/dash of vanilla) is a GREAT breakfast during Midwest summers. Check out Chocolate Covered Katie or Iowa Girl Eats.
