Can I mix my French Vanilla Cappuccino mix in with my coffee?
I have a tin of this “Hill Bros.” french vanilla cappuccino mix, and I was wondering if it would be OK and taste right if I mix it in with a cup of coffee? It says to mix it in with boiling water, but would it work with coffee?
Yes! It’s very good, actually! If the mix itself is too sweet for you, adding it to coffee is almost like adding a powdered creamer. My Dad does it all the time, and even mixes coffee and cappuccino at gas stations! Hope this helped you!

Tasty Pie Recipes that are Diabetic Friendly: Very Easy Apple or French Vanilla Peach
Pies are such popular desserts and even we diabetics enjoy a good slice of pie now and then. As the holidays approach, many cooks are starting to think ahead to their menus. If you are concerned about dessert for a family member or friend who is diabetic, make one of these pies. They are so good they will be enjoyed by all. Both are lovely fruit pies. Choose from French Vanilla Peach or Very Easy Apple.
VERY EASY APPLE PIE
pastry for a double crust pie
7 cups peeled and sliced apples
3/4 cup Splenda granular
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with pastry crust. In a large bowl, combine the apples, Splenda, and cinnamon and stir until apples are coated. Pile into the pie plate. Dot with the butter. Cover with another sheet of pastry and fold edges over to seal. Flute with a fork or use fingers to press a design on the edges. Cut small slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 50 minutes or until the crust is brown and the apples are tender. To check apples, pierce with a fork through one of the steam vents.
This pie is great with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream!
FRENCH VANILLA-PEACH PIE
1 9-inch baked pie shell
1 15-oz can no-sugar-added peach halves
1 tbsp Splenda granular
1 1 3/4-oz pkg sugar-free Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix
milk
1 carton frozen sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
Drain peach halves, reserving juice in a liquid measuring cup. Chill the juice by placing in freezer for a few minutes. Place peach halves, cut side down on a cutting board. Cut into chopped-sized pieces by cutting one way and then the other. Cover bottom of prepared pastry crust with the peach pieces. Sprinkle the Splenda granular over the peaches. Empty pudding mix into a small mixing bowl. Add enough milk to the peach juice to make a total of 1 3/4 cups. Add peach juice/milk mixture to the pudding mix and beat well for a couple of minutes with a wire whisk. Pudding should be fairly thick. Spread pudding over the peaches. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. To serve, top with whipped topping
Enjoy!

Does french vanilla cappuccino have more caffeine in it than a regular cup of coffee?
This morning, at the gas station, I filled my mug up with french vanilla cappuccino cause they were pretty much giving it away. It tasted good, probably a 600 calorie cup of coffee too as it was so creamy.
Anyways, I felt weird after my morning coffee this morning. A little extra jittery even. Is that from the sugar or whatever in the cappuccino or is there more caffeine in cappuccino or what?
As long as the cappuccino was a single, it should have about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, since an espresso shot has about the same or even a bit less caffeine than regular coffee.
It’s probably the sugar making you feel jittery. Those fancy coffee drinks have a lot of sugar! There might be artificial flavorings in there as well – I don’t know if you are sensitive to chemicals in your food, but the gas station is probably not using an all-natural French vanilla syrup to flavor the coffee.
