Easy Recipe: Chocolate Morsels and Almond Frappuccino

in easy recipes, families, food, latinos, multiples, parenting on

I have a big secret…I don’t drink coffee.  As a mother, especially of Hispanic origins, its highly unusual not to drink coffee.  Many mothers like to get together for playdates or to meet with mothers over coffee and Latinos adore their cafe con leche (coffee with milk).  My parents and siblings drink coffee as part of their daily routine, but I have never really been a fan.  I have drank coffee in the past, like when I had to study for an all nighter, but I am not a habitual coffee drinker. In reality, I’m a naturally “high” person so no one would really want to see me on caffeinated high, anyway.

As a non-coffee drinker, I was pleasantly surprised with Chocolate Morsels and Almond Frappuccino.  This recipe use chocolate milk, which is the most popular choice in schools and kids drink less milk (and get fewer nutrients) if it’s taken away.  Incorporating healthy habits is a goal of mine for my entire family.  Children who drink flavored milk meet more of their nutrient needs; do not consume more added sugar or fat; and are not heavier than non-milk drinkers.

🕊️🎂💙 March 11. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Daddy. 🕊️🎂💙 Over 40 years ago, a former professional baseball player from Cuba, who had become an acclaimed international delegate and contract executive with the International Longshoremen’s Union, was approached by Mrs. Coretta Scott King. She asked him to come down from our home in Brooklyn, New York, to assist her in Orlando, Florida. She knew my Dad as a friend & as a trusted advisor. A well-known snack factory, which predominantly employed people of color, planned to shut down its major facility to relocate to the Midwest. Unbeknownst to the employees in the South, the company had already prepared a community for employees of lighter skin and intended to pay them significantly higher wages. 🕊️🎂💙 This was a high-stakes battle that unfolded behind closed doors among top leadership. It encompassed various critical issues—discrimination, fair wages, accessibility, education, human rights, job advancement, and promotion. 🕊️🎂💙 Within 48 hours, they had saved the factory, ensured employees received proper work gear, and raised their livable wages.  🕊️🎂💙 The day the negotiations concluded was March 11—my Dad’s birthday. None of the employees ever knew what the snack officials attempted against them or what my Dad and Mrs. King did for their benefit.  🕊️🎂💙 In 2025, that factory still stands in Orlando, continuing to provide employment. 🕊️🎂💙 Tonight, on March 11, my Dad’s birthday, I sit just a few miles from the factory he and Mrs. King saved. I wear one of my hats for the community as the Chairperson of the Recreational Advisory Committee for the City of Groveland.  🕊️🎂💙 l am incredibly humbled and thankful that God has consistently allowed my experiences, education, work, and talents to be in service to others.  🕊️🎂💙 With over 20 years of experience in federal and local government, community agencies, television and media, and ministerial work, I continually give thanks for the opportunity to bloom where I am planted.  🕊️🎂💙 This is the best way to honor my Dad on his birthday.  🕊️🎂💙 Happy Birthday, Daddy! I love and miss you every day of my life.  #HappyHeavenlyBirthday #HappyBirthdayDaddy

Every non-profit organization or community resource has a story behind it—usually centered around a person who inspired its creation. Joshua’s birth and life have been the driving force behind programs that support and empower special needs and neurodiverse families since 2018. He embodies the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I am grateful to everyone who has come alongside us to help educate, empower, support, and, most importantly, LOVE, this truly amazing child. The best is yet to come! 🙌🏽 💙 #TeamJoshua #JoshuasAngels #specialneedsparenting #hopetorchlighters #hopebuddybreak #hopeinternationalchurch
