The caffeine debate continues. Is it good for you? Yes! No! Maybe! But I love coffee flavored anything, so this really appealed to me. And, of course, having an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast just couldn’t be missed, lol! So I gave it a try. Mmmm! Delicious. The recipe is from Kate at VeguKate and is at the end of the post.
Kate reports on a study when she says …
… some coffee drinking … may be beneficial to our health. According to the recently proposed dietary guidelines for Americans, coffee is in. The guidelines state that coffee may protect an individual against type-2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, liver disease, prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more. In fact, a large study from 25,000 coffee drinkers in South Korea showed that moderate coffee consumption was associated with decreased risk of coronary artery calcium.
