ok, so remember how I grogged about the dreaded Mondays?

This is how I get through them. You can substitute the coffee for whatever ready-made brand you prefer. If you’re one of those people who are efficient enough to pre-brew their own coffee and make a milkshake come Monday morning, it’s been nice getting to know ya; I’ll see you on Wednesday.

The Monday Malted

| yields 2 full glasses |

ingredients

  • 1 container Diet J&J Ice coffee, or coffee combo of choice
  • 2 cups milk, can be substituted with milk of choice
  • 1-2 tablespoons creamy almond butter, optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder, optional but recommended
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, to bring out the flavor

directions

  1. Divide the J&J carton into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight.
  2. Come Monday, pop the frozen cubes into a blender; add the two cups of milk and pulse.
  3. Once the malted is becoming smooth, add the almond butter, cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend until mixture is well incorporated but still thick.
