Coffee drinks and desserts with coffee

[Ciel]

The recent MyStarbucksWeekend booklet in the Summer 2018 Food and Drink issue had 4 cool coffee drinks or treats (there's an oat banana smoothie and a coffee frozen pop treat too).

The Shakeratoo was one of the four recipes in the booklet and is available online here: https://www.mystarbucksweekend.com/recipes

I'll have to get my booklet to post the other recipes tomorrow because we have coffee lovers on the Smart Canucks forum who probably want cool versions of their beverage for summertime!
