How do you envision an endless summer?
I'd imagine it'd be enjoyed with warm sun kissed skin and lengthy beach days, the sun hanging in the sky late into the evening while the scent of sea salt and the ocean breeze tickle my senses. Topped off with a cool drink and a smile on my lips. This week I've partnered with Torani and Kroger to bring you a summer beverage that is sure to make you smile. My S'mores Iced Latte is as delicious as it's name suggests. It marries summer camping memories with a modern iced coffee that you can enjoy in any season. In addition to grabbing the recipe below, Torani has provided coupon to save $1.00 on any (1) Torani® Syrups and Sauces to create the perfect summer beverage. Search for the $1.00 off offer here in Fry's Retail Gallery!
Once you find the offer, clip it to your card and redeem next time you're in store! Easy peasy!
What I love about Torani is not only how easy they are to find at your local Fry's or Kroger (coffee aisle!), it's how versatile their products are. With their extensive line of flavors from my favorite Sugar Free S'Mores or Toasted Marshmallow Syrups to the exotic Mango and Passion Fruit Syrups, I'm able to get creative and make the best drinks for any occasion.
And because no milk is used in the dark chocolate (the other sauces do have dairy for those with allergies), the Dark Chocolate Sauce is also a staple on my coffee bar for hot cocoa nights, adding a drizzle to ice cream or topping off this mouth-watering S'Mores Latte.
Vanilla is a weekly go to when I treat myself to a Vanilla Almond Milk Latte (I've saved so much switching to a home coffee bar and skipping the coffee shops), the S'mores is the star of the show in this recipe, and the Salted Caramel is drool-worthy guys. A dairy-free Salted Caramel Chocolate Shake is on my Summer Bucket List for sure. Like by the pool. Tomorrow kind of situation.
So, tell me in the comments below, how do you envision your endless summer? And if you've tried Torani before, what is your go to flavor or blend? For more Torani recipes, follow the hashtag #ToraniEndlessSummer on social media, and to find Torani in a store near you: Iced S'more Latte

For Mother's Day this year, along with a trip to a cabin in Flagstaff, my husband bought me my first juicer. I've wanted one for so, so long and just never brought myself to spend the money on one. That and I heard they were a P A I N to clean and ain't no mama got time for that. He however, found me an AMAZING one that is the easiest EVER to clean. This is the one he got me and it's fairy inexpensive when it comes to kitchen appliances that work really well. For the recipe below, YOU DO NOT NEED A JUICER. Just a good blender. So you can keep reading if you have yet to snag yourself a good juicer. The first juice I made at the cabin was a bust because I put a banana in it. NEWBIE ALERT. Don't do that. Bananas are not meant for juicers haha. If you want to add banana, put your juice in a blender with a banana and blend to finish. When we returned home, however, I was SUPER excited to hit the farmers market for all the goodies to whip up a morning juice for me and my boys. I made a Carrot Beet juice full of iron and goodies along with some fruits and I'll be posting that shortly. In addition to my new juices I've been in the mood to whip up a ton of new smoothies and I actually make this one every other morning now to accompany some granola, eggs or oatmeal. The recipe is SUPER easy and I'm excited to roll out more smoothie and juicing recipes this summer as the temps heat up. |
