Food and recipes

I want to cut back on getting lattes from coffee shops for money reasons. I've been trying to think of other sweet drinks that don't break the bank.

I thought about making smoothies from frozen fruit. I found a recipe for a pina colada smoothie (no alcohol) which sounded pretty good! Unfortunately, they don't have frozen pineapple at my Costco so maybe I can just chop a fresh pineapple and freeze it.

Do you guys have a favorite sweet drink that isn't too expensive?

I made the used-to-be-trendy dalgona coffee. I did try to attempt on making it years ago but it wasn't successful since I mixed by hand instead with a mixture.

Personally, I am not a big fan of drip and instant coffee; watery coffee. I prefer drinking espresso. However, I did like this particular drink. The froth gives it a nice texture. Although I still prefer lattes. I probably won't make this drink daily though since it does take effort.

As for the pina colada smoothie. I almost bought the ingredients but I spent a lot of money this weekend so I might try out the recipe in the future and share my thoughts on it.
