Recipe to Love for Iced Caramel Latte!

/in , /by

Making your own iced coffee or blended coffee drink is not only an easy endeavor, it should be economical.

The blended iced caramel latte is probably the most popular frozen beverage served in coffee houses and cafes all over the United States. Here is a recipe you can make at home with Caffe D’Vita’s Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix. Variations could include adding coffee or syrup.

Caramel Latte Recipe:
Makes 1 – 12oz beverage

Ingredients:
1/3 cup fresh Espresso or brewed coffee, cold or room temperature
1/3 cup milk (low-fat or non-fat milk foams up better than whole milk, you can also use soy milk)
2 heaping tablespoons Caffe D’Vita Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix
2/3 glass of crushed ice
Caramel syrup
Whipped cream

Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. You don’t need a commercial blender.

Blend using low speed then high speed to the consistency of “mud”. If you get “stuck”, use your “pulse control” and add more liquid

Pour into glass and add syrup and whipped cream to taste

Getting the right combination of ingredients and the right consistency takes a little practice but soon you will be making these drinks and all of their variations for friends and family.

Smoothies – Not Just for Summer Anymore

/in , , , , , , , /by

Forgive me for this outrageously healthy sounding recipe, but it is a New Year, and therefore all New Year’s diet resolutions are still in force. I usually think of smoothies more as summertime desserts.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different class of smoothies. Vegetable-based, just a little sweet, make them well suited for the season. Sometimes I throw in a little orange juice or a squirt of lemon, but otherwise I stick to local, seasonal ingredients. If you’d like to try making your own, here are some other healthy ingredients you might want to consider adding:

Kale or spinach, carrot, apple beet (roasted or raw), orange (peeled fruit or juice)
sweet potato (roasted), parsley, pineapple, celery, ginger, carrot.
Try to purchase locally when possible, it’s fresher.

Green Apple Smoothie
1 serving
5 minutes preparation time
1 tablespoon of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Bean Classic Cream smoothie mix
1 apple (any local variety), quartered and cored
1 carrot
½ small bunch spinach (about 2 cups packed leaves and stems)
1 teaspoon honey
1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
3-4 ice cubes
¼ cup cold water

In a blender, combine Vanilla Bean Smoothie mix, apple, carrot, spinach, honey, cinnamon, (or whatever suites your fancy that day) with ice cubes and water. Puree until smooth. If needed, add more water to achieve desired consistency.

It’s Chai Tea Latte Time of Year

/in , , , , , , /by

This time of year I really get into Chai Tea Latte. It’s a great alternative to cappuccino and espresso and besides I just love the way it tastes.

CHAI, pronounced tshai, with a long “i” as in the word tie, is the actual word for TEA in many countries.

Chai tea is a rich and complex beverage that has been savored for centuries in many parts of the world. It has become extremely popular in the West as people are becoming exposed to it in coffee and tea houses and restaurants and elsewhere where beverages are sold.

In its most basic form, Chai is black tea that is brewed strong with a combination of spices and is diluted with milk and sugar. The spices vary usually consist of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, anise seedr and ginger. Chai tea is traditionally consumed hot and sweet. The sweetness is needed to bring out the full flavors of the spices.

Chai tea is wonderfully fragrant and soothing, but if you really want to kick back and indulge in a little “Arabian nights” I can only recommend: Chai Tea Latte or Chai Latte!

A Chai Latte is the spiced Chai tea mixed with milk that’s steamed. I love the soft foamy texture the steamed milk adds to the Chai.

For those times when you don’t want to make Chai tea from scratch, Caffe D’Vita Chai Tea Latte is a great alternative.

Hot Cocoa Always Gets us Into the Valentine’s Day Spirit

/in , , , , , , , /by

Valentine’s Day was first associated with romantic love by Chaucer in the Middle Ages when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”).Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.
Valentine’s Day is growing in popularity or the excuse it gives us all to express a little of our romantic side. And there’s no better way to say “I love you!” than through the time-honored gift of chocolate. Yes, cards are fine and so are flowers – but let’s face it, you can’t eat or drink them. The act of sharing a divine and chocolaty Caffe D’Vita Mocha Cappuccino with the one you love is surely part and parcel of the day’s enjoyment.

Choose any or all six of our chocolate favorites. Sip a cup of White Chocolate Cappuccino, Chocolate Chai, Hot Cocoa, Sugar Free Hot Cocoa, Cocoa Freeze Smoothie, or White Chocolate Raspberry Cappuccino, each one excites the imagination.

So let’s think chocolate this Valentine’s Day and you never know where it all might lead! Certainly, the golden age of romance is alive and well in the range of Valentine’s Day offerings from Caffe D’Vita.

Our chocolate selection is always correct for Valentine’s Day and is perfect for all who are hopelessly head over heels in love. Customer Service and Premium Ingredients remain our greatest priorities as we continue to develop new and exciting products.

A Refreshing Green Smoothie Perfect for a Hot Summer Day

/in , , , , , , , /by

I love watermelon and it’s one of my favorite summer fruits. Watermelon contains 0.7 milligrams of iron in just two cups. It’s also a great source of vitamin C with 28% Daily Value in two cups. It’s hydrating as well.

Watermelon is perfectly okay to use in a green smoothie. The idea that watermelon must always be eaten on its own and never mixed is obviously not the case.

I really like adding parsley to smoothies as it is also a great source of iron. One cup of parsley contains 3.7 milligrams of iron providing up to 10% DV of iron for a vegan/vegetarian woman or almost 50% for an omnivore male.

I used frozen strawberries to make my smoothie a little colder, but you can use fresh if you prefer. If it is a particularly hot summer day, a frozen strawberry and watermelon smoothie is “heaven-sent”. Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C with 94% DV in just one cup!

With just 160 calories in this recipe, you can enjoy it as an afternoon refreshment, or before a meal.

Refreshing Watermelon-Mint Green Smoothie Recipe with Parsley

2 cups watermelon
11 fresh mint leaves
1 cup whole fresh or frozen strawberries
1 cup fresh Italian (flat leaf) parsley
¼ cup Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base Smoothie Mix

Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

This smoothie is also a rich source of folate, vitamins B1 – B6, vitamin K, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium.

Five Tips to Enjoying Frozen Drinks and Avoiding Calorie Land Mines

/in , , , , , , , /by

On the warmest days, nothing beats the heat like an icy beverage. It’s OK to indulge in the occasional frozen treat, and it’s possible to revel in them on a more regular basis, especially if you don’t mind a little sugar. For those looking for sugar free drinks try Caffe D’Vita’s sugar free mixes. Using Splenda®, our products are made without sugar, and are low in calories and have the same great taste without compromising flavor.

SMOOTHIES

Made with real fruit, smoothies can have some redeeming value, but serving size is important. The bigger you make your smoothie, the more calories. On the warmest days, nothing beats the heat like an icy beverage, but moderation is the key. It’s OK to indulge in the occasional frozen treat, and it’s possible to revel in them on a more regular basis. But, watch your portion size.

Tips to keeping it healthy

1• Pay attention to serving size.

2• Read the ingredients. Code words to avoid: whipped cream, creamy and drizzled.

3• Don’t make it a daily habit. If you are going for a full-calorie splurge, make it an occasional indulgence of no more than once a week.

4• Make it yourself to better control what you are consuming. Turn your smoothie craving into a healthy way to eat by making smoothies at home with seasonal fruit and ice. Consider adding nonfat yogurt, and if you are feeling adventurous, add spinach or kale to the blender to pump up the nutrients.

5• Beware of mixed adult beverages. An average margarita has just under 400 calories, pina coladas even more. Try a lower-calorie beverage by combining equal parts wine and club soda for just 80 calories and half the alcohol of a glass of wine.
