Coffee and Calcium

One thing that everyone tells you growing up is that it's important to get enough calcium and that you should make sure that you drink milk. Personally I'm not a huge fan of milk unless it's accompanied by a sweet dessert. If you are looking for a healthier way to enjoy milk that isn't "plain," then I have the perfect solution.

Coffee ice cubes!

I saw this idea on Pinterest with Bailey's and vanilla vodka, but personally I don't drink, so I decided on milk. If you do enjoy Bailey's and vodka though, this is a really great idea.

You can use any brand and flavor of coffee that you like. All you have to do is make the coffee and let it cool off a little bit, then you pour it in an ice cube tray and freeze it. One thing to keep in mind though is that if you want sweet coffee you need to add the sugar into the coffee before you freeze it. I opted for black coffee ice cubes and my sister pulled one out and licked it and thought it was gross. Black coffee ice cubes are good in milk though, and it keeps the calories and sugar down.

This is a perfect way to get in some of your daily dairy while enjoying a little pick me up from the coffee.
