One TBSP of cinnamon is way to much for this recipe especially since it only makes one serving. I only put in ¼ tsp and found that was a bit much still. If you like your coffee-mocha smoothies sweet then the ice-cream alone will not do it. I needed to add a sweetener to mine. Also, use strong coffee, if not the other ingredients dilute the taste. I think this recipe needs to be tweaked too much to make it drinkable as written.

I used cold coffee, omitted the ice, used frozen vanilla yogurt and threw in one of those concentrated shots. To be honest, it was a long night last night and I was dealing with an hour's worth of sleep, so I gulped it down hoping the caffiene would work quickly. What I did taste, I liked. I guess. I'm awfully tired this morning.

A good base recipe. I took this recipe and made it more adult. I used the suggestion to use coffee ice cream instead of the chocolate. Then I added to taste , about a shot of Irish Creme. To top off I used whip creme or cool whip drissled with chocolate syrup. Some one also suggested that I try Kahlua instead of the Irish Creme

Yum! I added a protein supplement and used less cinnamon. Great morning shake.

I thought this was really good! I put espresso instead of coffee, and a little more icecream. :)

So I like to 'hook up' recipes with my own twist. I used half a cup of brewed coffee, 2 table spoons of Hagen Daz light Coffee Ice Cream, 3 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of skim milk. I thought it was mighty fine. YUMMY If I can remember how I made it I will do it again :c)

Too much cinnamon. It might be a typo because 1 tablespoon is a lot of cinnamon for a single serving. Also not as strong a coffee flavor as I would have thought. Maybe use espresso. Won't make this again.
