Anyone out there remember Dannon Frozen Yogurt Pops from back in the 80′s? Or was it the 70′s? I think I am starting to date myself. Anyway, I used to love those frozen treats.

I love this coffee shake all year round.  It gives a little coffee buzz and of course you could also make it de-caf if you wish. This icy treat is reminiscent to everyone’s favorite Starbucks Frappuccino, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper and kinder to the waistline. You can make it in seconds [...]
