Healthy DIY Coffee Creamer
Coffee is a major staple in the college student diet… it just is.
Or at least, it is for me anyways. Just two days ago, I took my first Chemistry exam (woohoo, it’s over!), and just to make sure I was on top of my game the day of the exam, I drank three coffees. Yes, three…
The exam was at 5pm and was only one hour long. If I spent all hours of my life week studying to ace the exam, the last thing I needed was to be tired and make a silly mistake.
It’s a weird feeling, you know? Being finished with something very important — something that only comes around a few times every semester. All of the lectures, the textbook readings, the frustration studying, etc. All for a short exam with about a thousand other students. It’s a really nervous/exciting/in-the-moment/adrenaline-rush feeling. It’s actually sort of… fun?
Yeah, I’m weird. My friend gave me a face when I said that too. Anyways, while I’m taking a break off the coffee for the next few days, I’ll give you this Healthy DIY Coffee Creamer recipe. I used this quite a lot these past few weeks!

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a shaker cup or blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
How to Get Started (studying, cleaning, etc):
For one, the task, “study chemistry,” is plain ambiguous! And so is “clean house” or “organize closet.” They seem simple from the outside, but once you start, they seem so daunting. When preparing for the exam I took just a couple days ago, I found that writing each individual task separately was much more effective.
For studying…
-Instead of writing: study chemistry, write: gather study materials (notes, homework, labs, textbook)
-For the next day, write: review notes, or, review chapter [insert # here]
-If you are like me and highlight your textbook, then write: review highlighted passages
For cleaning…
-Instead of saying: clean house, start with something like: wash dirty clothes, or, clean out refrigerator
-Look around your house and start with one corner, not one room, then just start cleaning! When I used to get really unorganized, I would dump everything messy in the middle of the room, then slowly put things away to where they were supposed to be, one by one… hang a shirt here, file that paper away there, put away the bagels… you get the picture 😉 I know that a lot of other students have this problem too. Studying (and cleaning) is very important, so skipping it is not an option.
I hope this helps, and makes your to-do list tasks seem less intimidating!

Coffee is my favorite study buddy. 🙂 That looks wonderful!
That’s comparable to the commercial coffee. Such a creamy one. I like it.
