What could be a better pick-me-up than a drink twist reminiscent of a favorite childhood snack!
Book Bean: PB & Joe
This can be made with Brewed Coffee or Espresso as a base. Start with 1 scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream in a blender, add 2Tsp-1Tbsp of creamy peanut butter (to taste) last add very hot coffee or espresso, blend well until smooth. Pour into 1 large mug or 2 small mugs to share. Add steamed/frothed milk or hot cream to taste. Sprinkle with cocoa powder. (To make this drink cold just add PB to coffee and let cool before adding to blender, then use cold milk or cream.)
The perfect Book to pair with this bold and snacky drink, is something short and sweet/savory!
A book that speaks universally to both children and adults. A story that like the old PB&J is a classic, full of both warmth and goodness.
Go on an adventure with Milo, as he discovers The Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping) and rescues Rhyme and Reason. You will discover like Milo does, that life is far from dull, but more interesting and exciting than you’ve ever imagined.

A wee sample to wet your appetite:
You know you're in good hands when, in the midst of some nutty, didactic dialogue, the author disarms you. "I guess I just wasn't thinking," said Milo. "PRECISELY," shouted the dog as his alarm went off again. "Now you know what you mus do." "I'm afraid I don't," admitted Milo, feeling quite stupid. "Well," continued the watchdog impatiently, "since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that in order to get out, you must start thinking." And with that he hopped into the car.
