Quick Pick-me-up



This is what I call my Poor Man's Iced Mocha. It's easy to make at home if you're in need of a refreshing caffeine boost and don't want to run out and spend four bucks on one at Starbucks

3 heaping spoonfuls of Ovaltine (I like the Chocolate Malt)
1 heaping spoonful of instant coffee (I like Nescafe)
enough milk (choose your fat content) to fill a tall drinking glass

Put it all in a cocktail shaker with a few ice cubes and shake it up real good to get it super cold; strain into drinking glass, and voila! Probably fattening, but delish, and it gives a nice mid-afternoon kick in the butt.

That sounds heavenly!!! I love these things called Mocha Joe's at Burger King... coffee, chocolate, and shake mix. Soooooo bad for you. I haven't had one in ages. But this concoction of yours doesn't actually sound terribly unhealthy for a treat!!
