DIY FLAVORED COFFEE

It's simple and cheap to make your own flavored coffee ☕

 If you're like me, you hate boring and want variety and flavor in your life.....especially your coffee ☕  But, who wants to pay 7.00 or 8.00 for a flavored bag of gourmet coffee not really knowing what is going into that bag to flavor it?? 😕

I have found the solution 🙌
Make your own 👏
It's really so easy and affordable and takes just seconds to do!


  • Get your favorite brand of coffee ( I like to use fair trade organic coffee whenever I can)
  • Pull out your favorite extracts 
  • Mix
That's it....it's really that simple 🙌

This is exactly what I do: 
  1. I put 1/2 cup of coffee into mini blender, 1 tsp of favorite flavored extract(s), and blend for just a few seconds until combined.
  2. Place in jar and store in refrigerator.
  3. Repeat when jar is empty
Here are my favorite flavor combinations:
  • Chocolate (or cocoa) and Cinnamon extracts 
  • Chocolate (or cocoa) and Peppermint extracts
  • Pumpkin Pie extract or Cinnamon and Vanilla extracts
  • Lemon and Orange extracts (nice during summer and early Fall months....fruity and refreshing)
  • Coconut extract and Rum extracts (nice for Holiday months)
  • Amaretto and Rum extracts (also nice for Holiday months)
Play around with different flavor combinations and experiment 🔬You'll feel like a Scientist 
Making your own Keeps It Real because you are using all  natural coffee and all natural extracts with nothing artificial added.  You control the quality and amount of ingredients that you put in! That's Real!!  It's also cheap!  You can find extracts for just a few dollars and they will last you a loooong time since you are only adding 1 tsp at a time.

So, get in your kitchen, keep it real, and start experimenting 🥼

IT'S NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

What is a Fluffernutter?? A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
