Well all I can say is....this is amazing. I now have to sleep in the backyard in the hammock for about 1 hour. This is so delicious, you will think you are dreaming. And then you should go take a real nap. I followed this exactly. I added one (1) chocolate chip to the top (hee - hee) This was so terrific, Sharon. I am glad I spent the afternoon with Cia's Cappuccino Smoothie. I used decalf also. No, not deCALF, decaf. Sorry, I have been on the farm to long. A winner for sure, Sharon. March 2010

Delicious coffee drink. I made this exactly as written for 17 yo DS and myself, he loves the starbucks drinks. After making it and tasting it myself, I knew it wouldn't be sweet enough for DS, so I poured some out for me and then added some more ice cream and then added some chocolate syrup. I topped it off with some whipped cream and cocoa powder, per DS's request, rather than the cinnamon. I enjoyed it as written and DS enjoyed his with the additions. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
