RECIPE AUTHOR: Serene Allison
*Please review and follow the manufacturer's instructions on using hot liquids in your blender, or use a tall heatproof cup & an immersion blender. Our Trimmaccinos do allow for a natural venting of steam when removing the lid to add gluccie and whey powder. Make sure to start the blender on low, not high.

From page 427 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
"The Trimmy recipe has evolved over the last couple of years since we first shared it on our Facebook fan page. We have continued to tweak it to have a better mouth feel and to stay creamy looking with no separation or evaporation of milkiness to the last drop. There are two types of Trimmies you can make: the budget-friendly basic Trimmy or the super-duper Healing Trimmy. In the basic version, you use only 1 teaspoon of Integral Collagen, whereas in the healing version you use ½ to 1 scoop of this glycine-rich, body-renewing superfood. Your choice will depend on how protein rich your meal may already be, or you may choose the basic Trimmy because of budget concerns. If your meal contains lots of protein, you won’t need the Healing Trimmy with its full scoop of collagen; you can do half a scoop or just a teaspoon.
Just as there are two types of Trimmies, there are two ways to fuel your Trimmy. The Trimmy Light uses just 1 to 2 teaspoons of MCT oil and can pair with an FP or an E meal (if the FP or E meal includes 1 teaspoon fat, then stick to 1 teaspoon MCT oil). The Trimmy Rich uses 1 tablespoon of oil and needs to pair with S meals unless you are seeking a Crossover. If you don’t mind the taste of coconut oil or butter (from grass-fed is best for this recipe) in your coffee, you can substitute the MCT oil with ½ to 1 teaspoon of either of those for the Trimmy Light and 2 to 3 teaspoons for the Trimmy Rich."

From page 428 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
NOTE: "An Iced Trimmy is simply the chilled version of any of the Trimmies recipes that follow. You use half the liquid (cooled to room temperature) instead of the 1½ cups called for in the hot drink recipes, and blend with a heaping cup of ice cubes."

From page 430 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
"Those with sensitive tummies might need to get used to MCT oil slowly, and at first will want to halve this rich S-variety with unsalted butter. You can “happyize” this Trimmy by replacing the 1 tablespoon MCT oil with 1 teaspoon cocoa butter and 2 teaspoons MCT oil."
