Let's prepare an easy chocomilk frappe for hot days.

 All the ingredients we need are very easy to get, we can find them in the supermarket, in the corner store or we could already have some at home. The first ingredient we need is Chocomilk powder, the measure is to taste so if we already have it at home we don't need to buy one, we also need ice, it is a very important ingredient since it is in charge of giving body to our frappe. We also need milk but we can use the one we already have at home or if you like you can prepare the one of your preference, we also need toppings of our taste, you can choose the amount you think is necessary and your favorite flavors. We will use few utensils, just have a spoon, a cup and your blender ready. The amounts of the ingredients are the ones we believe necessary since we need to measure little by little to achieve the flavor we like. In the case of milk, it is recommended to use cow's milk, but if you do not like it or you are intolerant, you can substitute it with hazelnut milk, which is very good and recommended for your health. There are also people who do not use milk and choose to use some powder to replace it, they claim that milk ruins the flavor of the frappe because it dilutes the flavor of the other ingredients, but if you do not dislike milk I recommend that you do not omit it because I consider it is an important element in the creaminess of this preparation, as it gives a great and smooth flavor. About the chocomilk powder, we have to be very careful not to use too much because this depends on the main flavor that our frappe will have, depending on how much we use is how strong its flavor will be, you can use a little at a time to find the right amount for you. A good idea to accompany the chocomilk powder is to use a little chocolate syrup, as it gives a more chocolaty and deep flavor, but we can also use any condiment, etc, that we like to enjoy the flavor more, besides it is very easy to integrate them to the preparation of the recipe since you only have to pour them together with the chocomilk powder.

The first step of this preparation consists of putting the ice cubes in the blender, and pouring the chocomilk powder and milk on top. And mix everything together. This step is the most important since we have to blend it depending on how we want it, we only have to blend for about 20 seconds to have a normal frappe consistency, but if we want it to have a smooth texture we have to keep blending until it has the creamy consistency we are looking for. On the contrary, if we are looking for a hard texture we have to mix for less than 20 seconds, this way the ice in the mixture will not be so crushed and will have bigger pieces of ice. The second step is to pour with the help of the spoon all the mixture into the cup we prepared, I recommend that we do it very carefully so as not to throw any of the mixture and our frappe looks aesthetically beautiful because if we do it quickly we could throw the cup or spill mixture on the table, once we have all the mixture inside the cup we can move on to the last step.

The last step is to decorate our frappe with our different favorite toppings, if we have chocolate sprinkles it would be great to put them right in the center of our mixture so we can mix them with a spoon or straw just before drinking it. But there are many different varieties of toppings of many different colors and flavors that we can use to decorate it, we just have to use our imagination and decorate it the way we like. One idea I would like to mention is the use of whipped cream on top of the frappes, I think it would be great to use it in this frappe. Whether we prepare it ourselves with an easy-to-make recipe, use one of the ones sold in the store just to whip with a mixer or buy one of the ones that are already prepared and ready to use, whipped cream can be a good complement. After finishing decorating our frappe, it will finally be ready and we will be able to enjoy our frappe.

Certainly this frappe is very easy to make and tastes great, its ingredients are all very easy to get and to change depending on what we are craving. The steps being very few are easy to remember for anyone even if you do not know how to cook, and in the decoration you can let out all your imagination to leave it as you like, try it the next time it is a hot day, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Why We Should Consume Coffe

 Coffee is the beverage obtained from the roasted and ground coffee beans of the coffee plant. Coffee is very stimulating due to its caffeine content and its delicious flavor makes it widely consumed throughout the world. Besides the fact that coffee has many benefits for our health, which do not change even if we prepare it in different ways such as in desserts. Next, we will talk about, its taste, the benefits it offers to our health, examples of how to consume it in desserts and why we should consume it.

The taste of coffee is simply delicious and can be changed depending on each person's taste. It can be taken from mild and with a weak odor to a strong flavor and a slight acidity. Thanks to its great adaptability it can be ingested by people of all ages. Children usually prefer to drink coffee hot and with milk and sugar, since they are not yet accustomed to strong and bitter flavors. Young people are the most varied in terms of their tastes, since there are some who are still forming their personality and preferences. They also have a more developed tongue than children. For example, they can drink very sweet lattes one day and the next day swear they will only drink espressos. On the other hand, adults have clear preferences as to whether or not they like coffee and how they like it, whether sweet and milky like children, bitter like espressos, or if they simply do not like to drink it and prefer to eat it only in desserts. Coffee has a great popularity in all continents throughout the world and is consumed by many different types of people regardless of their economic level. Because there are very cheap options that are sold in any supermarket to very expensive ones that can only be used in special coffee makers. The vast majority of people around the world enjoy this variation in flavor and adapt it to their personal preferences. Apart from its change of flavors, we can also change its temperature to make it more suitable to our tastes, whether it is hot or cold, coffee is able to adapt. This makes it a profitable beverage all year round, regardless of the season we are in. In spring we can find it in mainly water-based drinks and in desserts such as dry cakes. With the exception of countries with cold climates in this season where it is common for the typical coffee with milk to prevail. In summer is where its market and popularity is more reduced to ice cream and water-based shaved ice. In autumn coffee is almost exclusive to hot drinks and pastries that are on sale all year round. In winter its market is reduced again but now mainly to hot drinks, such as cappuccinos or lattes with different levels of sweetness depending always on the tastes of the person who consumes it, also of course depending on how it is prepared, it offers different benefits to our body.

Coffee also offers us a great amount of health benefits for our body and mind. Consumed in small quantities, it can help us reduce headaches and control a migraine attack. It also stimulates the central nervous system and increases the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, which elevate mood, helping to combat depression. Which is a disease that every day is more common in people of all ages. From children to the elderly. Another benefit that has been demonstrated is that its regular consumption decreases the risk of Parkinson's disease by 25% and can also decrease the risk of developing prostate cancer in men by 20%, and endometrial cancer in women by 25%. Caffeine can also prevent the development of basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. With so many benefits it is more than understandable why it is so widely consumed in all its different presentations every day.

Besides drinking it, another of the favorite ways to use coffee, which is becoming more and more popular, is to include it in desserts. These can be with varied sweetness depending on the taste of the person preparing it. Coffee breads such as pancakes, shells or slices of cakes are a great option to enjoy mainly in the mornings. Colder desserts such as coffee ice cream or other flavored ice creams with pieces of coffee are best left for warmer days. The properties of coffee are maintained even if it is consumed in any of these presentations. Coffee in any presentation helps to produce endorphins, also known as the happiness hormones. These help us to improve our mood and our ability to concentrate. For example, my grandmother, like many elderly people around the world. She has a routine of drinking coffee every morning. Which means she is happy from the morning and is starting her day in the best way.

Undoubtedly, coffee is really an excellent and extraordinary beverage for us. Its delicious taste at any temperature, all the benefits it brings to our health, thanks to which it is so recommendable for people of all ages. All the desserts that can be prepared with coffee. Coffee is so moldable that there are really many different ways to drink it and adapt it to each person's routine. That is why I also highly recommend consuming it in any of its presentations, the one we like the most, no matter what time of the day we crave it.
