Clean Cinnamon Latte

This recipe has been a game changer for me! I literally built my house while drinking  iced coffee. We were no strangers to large with cream, extra sweet. I'll tell you that I just about managed to FIT INTO  my husbands Carhart pants by the time we were done building!! 

This clean twist on iced coffee is just as creamy and tasty. Without all the fat. And added sugar! ENJOY!
