A very low calorie and low carb fall treat!!

[Jiminy102]

Well my new favortie for fall is Iced coffee!!! I have been drinking a bit more than normal but then again I am not drinking any hot coffee!! Fresh brewed coffee Ice and splenda and all is good with the world!!!! Also works great for green tea and herbal and flavoered teas. For an even better change put a little cocoa in it and skim milk and before you know it you have a great Iced Skim Mocha!!!! Give it a try for something different!!

Great for Atkins, too, just use heavy cream. I've never cared for iced coffee, mostly because I don't like milk in my coffee. I have a friend from South Carolina who drinks it year round and loves it.

I've always loved iced coffee...it's a great treat and there's no problem when you can't drink it all at once (like hot coffee gets warm and then cold and yuck). I used to work in retail and would get milk in my iced coffee (and hot too, just because cream was evil) and I found they always put so much milk into it (because it didn't lighten it up), no matter how much I told them just a drop off milk, they couldn't deal with it...and it would become more like coffee milk. So I finally gave up and stopped having them put milk in it at all and it's great black! I used to get sweet and low in it, but now I guess it's splenda. (of course, since I started Atkins, I've really stopped with the caffeine too)

The other thing about drinking it black is you don't have to worry about the cream/milk spoiling if you take all day to drink it! (um, I tend to drink about a bucket when I DO drink it! )

I've had a couple of very draggy days where I just let a couple of tea bags steep in hot water and then poured it over ice for a quick iced tea. I never could imagine drinking unsweetened tea, but since I've been on Atkins and only drink water, I find it to be just fine! LOL weird!
