Coffee Facts
1) Coffee is considered an aphrodisiac. Because it contains a high dose of caffeine and other various alkaloids, studies have shown that coffee can increase stamina and the overall length of intimate sessions.
2) Although coffee has been a part of the Arab culture for thousands of years, it did not become part of the western world until the 1500s. Before that time, priests believed that coffee was a drink of the devil. Pope Clement VIII finally ended this line of thinking by taking a sip of coffee and then giving it his blessing.
3) Japan’s official Coffee Day is October 1st.
4) A single acre of coffee trees can yield close to ten thousand pounds of coffee cherries. Once they are milled or hulled, there are still almost two thousand pounds of coffee beans.
5) Forty-nine of the fifty states grow absolutely no coffee. The only state that grows coffee is Hawaii. Additionally, the only United States territory that grows coffee is Puerto Rico.
6) Germany is the second largest coffee consumer in the world. Forty-three percent of Germans add sweetener to their coffee, while only twenty-seven percent of Americans (the number one consumer of coffee) use any kind of sweetener in their coffee.
7) The English word coffee is derived from the Latin word Coffee. Coffee is the Latin name for a genus of trees.
8) Every single one of the fifty-three countries that grows coffee is located along the equator, between the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn.
9) On average, people who purchase their coffee from drive-through windows before work will spend around forty-five hours every year waiting in line for their coffee.
10) Petroleum is the only product that is traded more heavily than coffee. The amount of coffee produced around the world is close to six million metric tonnes.
Hi
Quick question: where did you get your blender? I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and couldn’t find it. FYI: I went to MickeyDs and got my 1st smoothie from there… I shouldn’t have started… now I’m hooked… LOL. Love your channel
My addiction is the Mocha Frappe….I haven’t had one in 3 weeks. I did OD on them when they offered $1 off coupon and small one for free coupons in the newspapers at the end of July. I was jacking them from paper that were left behind in waiting rooms and patient room. I knew I had a problem but I had 6 of those free coupons. Cold turkey is working for me, and I only have one if I have a really horrible, terrible, no good kind of day or a accomplished a major task.
MOOOOOOOOO! I’m HOWLING! WHY was my coupon expired when I went to get mine?! Looks like a good thing from what I see here-LOL! You have me scared to try it now! Good luck my friend!
I feel your pain… I make my own smoothies too
Girl ! this was too funny I am addicted too. I can not get enough of those damn smoothies……thanks for this recipe….. I will try it
LOL..you are too funny! Looks yummy though!
Monique girl you crack me up!!!! I actually tried the McD’s smoothie and didn’t like it. I’m a smoothie junkie and I have had better, so I wasn’t impress. We have a smoothie place here in certain parts of Florida (Tropical Smoothie) I’m not sure how popular it is any where else. But any ways….they have this smoothie to die for it has strawberries, banana, cranberry & coconut and it is so good. This is also an expensive addiction. It cost about $4 .Can you create a recipe like this one?
What kind of blender is that?
lol this is great but my addiction is the rasberry smoothie they sell at Cosco HELP! lol
This was hilarious! But did you still put it in a McDonald’s cup? Too funny.
I wish i had a blender so I can make this.Looks so yummy!
I ♥ it, U are sooo clever!
@divascancook i’m just concerned of whats in the the product the way how i judge my food is based on two factors. 1. if you can’t pronounce it or it has some weird name not normally found in foods then it doesn’t go into your mouth. 2. the less ingredients the better the more the worst.
omigoshh im gonna try thiisssss<33 looks DELISHHH. well donee moniquee
)
I loooooooooooooove Strawberry Banana smoothies! Yum! I had wanted to try one from McDonalds but my mom was like “No u might get addicted, and they are bad for u anyway!!” And I’m like “it’s a smoothie!” Lol but at least I have everything I need to make this delicious looking smoothie! I love your recipes omg <3
now! that a cute. lol.
I wad there with you being a smoothie-alholic…but what I did was go to my local big box store, which here it is sams club and get the large bag of dole naturals frozen fruit..it has peaches, mango, strawberry, and pineapple I think..I ran out so I dont have the bag…no banana SORRY but my fix was the mixed berry…I make my smoothie the same way but I use any kind of fruit juice, something like and nix the milk just because I am lactose intolerant…saves more money buy the big bag of fruit
@sexytaz99 yes you are so right. I’ve been addicted to the Caramel Frappe since I first had it now I can’t stop!!! But I will definitely be trying the smoothie recipe!
Thank you for posting…I too need help with kicking this addiction!!! LOL McDonalds is ruining my budget!!!! lol
Never had one, but this is the cutest video!
Good luck with your smoothie rehab.
I use one packet of Splenda instead of regular sugar
Ohmygoodness…. where did you get that red mixy thingy? I have a cuisinart blender that sounds as if our home is being attacked by jackhammers. I gotta get one of those mixythingys!!
Thanks for the great recipes!

The other “creamy” crack is Mc Donald’s smoothie. Haven’t tried it yet. I’ll try yours to avoid getting hooked on Mc Donald’s smoothie. Shoot, I just got over the Orange Dream Machine @ Jamba Juice.
