Iced Coffee Addiction
When the warm weather rolls around, I cannot get enough iced coffee in my life! Man, it’s GOOD! I even dream about the stuff! It’s such a weird-o addiction!
Besides a delicious glass of iced coffee with vanilla soy milk and agave nectar, I also had a lovely bowl of oats for breakfast.
In the mix:
- 1/2 cup dry oats
- 3/4 cup vanilla hemp milk
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meals
- 1 banana
- Barney Butter
Quirky Weight Loss Motivators
I saw an interesting topic over on the Feel Great Weight forum about quirky weight loss motivators, like “bet dieting” and services that deduct money from your bank account if you don’t meet certain goals. What other quirky weight loss motivators have you heard of? Weigh-in over at the Feel Great Weight forum.

I love iced coffee too, but I only drink it on the weekends.
I cannot get enough of PB and bananas!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 7:46 am
PB, I eat it EVERYDAY!!!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 7:47 am
I cannot get enough tomatoes! If I don’t have a dish with tomatoes in it atleast a few times a week I go nuts!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 7:52 am
I am definately addicted to Diet Coke (even though it’s not a food….) and watermelon! My husband won’t eat it, but I have been going through a whole (large size!) watermelon a week! I love when fruit is in season here in Michigan!!!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Hey Tina! I love love iced coffee too! I think the homemade variety is best
I’m also a fruit addict (especially apples) and veggies (I miss the crunch if I don’t have them!!) Other than that I can get out of control with granola and dried fruit…so I try to keep them out of the house when I can or really monitor myself. Enjoy your day “off”.

I loooove iced coffee! When I lived in New Hampshire, I passed 3 Dunkin Donuts on my way to work every day – and I lived in the boonies! It was impossible not to stop at one of the 3 on my way to work in the summer.
I’m addicted to oats and bananas! Well, I guess I’m addicted to fruit in general, but bananas are defintely my fave.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:04 am
OMG your iced coffee looks delightful!!!!! mmmmmm!

Coffee is definitely a requirement in my life. You were my inspiration for an iced coffee with cinnamon yesterday afternoon. I liked it a lot!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:15 am
i’ve never made iced coffee at home but yours seriously always makes me crave it! My addiction bread, sadly!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Well, one food that I just couldn’t stop eating is cheese! I’m from Wisconsin, what can I say?
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:16 am
I’m addicted to coffee and eggs. Absolutely!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:19 am
I am definitely addicted to Diet Pepsi. I currently drink an average of four cans a day!!! I don’t think that Diet Pepsi in moderation will hurt me, but I do think this a little excessive. But I feel like I’m working so hard in so many areas (like losing weight, avoiding eating too much chocolate, food journaling, exercising, etc) that I can’t tackle this one at the same time.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I love iced coffee. In the summer my boyfriend and I switch completely over to iced. We use the toddy system which is pretty good, but it makes a lot of coffee at one time! I drink almost the exact concoction as you, sans agave.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I am addicted to cereal and peanut butter…but then again what girl isn’t? haha. I usually consume a whole jar of peanut butter a week. I try reallllllllly hard to not just eat it out of the jar, but hey, I cannot help it if while I am spreading some PB on my toast, a spoonful just happens to appear in my mouth.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:28 am
I love having smoothies in the summer! So cool and refreshing!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:28 am
I love, love, love tomatoes! I can’t wait for the ones in my garden to be ready to eat!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:32 am
Coffee. Hands down. And yesterday my doctor told me to cut back because I have a mild ulcer. Noooooooooooooooo!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Iced coffee is my addiction too. During the winter months, I can go without coffee except for the occasional hot cup.
But in the summer? I love my iced coffees too much!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:35 am
I’m addicted to iced coffee too, but besides that I am addicted to fruit as well! I go through like three pints of berries a day haha.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I would definitely say that I’m addicted to nut butters, banana, and greek yogurt. If I go only one or two days without any of these, I feel deprived!
Hope you have a great Tuesday!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Peanut butter, really good bread (Panera, Whole Foods), oatmeal, and iced coffee also!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:47 am
omg does that mean that the blog/healthy living summit is going to be here in boston???
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:48 am
I’m addicted to cottage cheese and Greek yogurt! If I have a day without either of them I think I would go through withdrawal symptoms
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Hummus!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 8:51 am
Salsa and chips! Good salsa though, not most jar types. I eat it every day.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:01 am
peanut butter…peanut butter…peanut butter…peanut butter…!!! failing that i’m pretty partial to porridge and lemon curd!
I have an embarrassing question… how do you make iced coffee? I’ve never had it in my life!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:03 am
oh boy the list is endless – peanut butter/almond butter, sweet potato fries, hummus, greek yogurt, etc. ect.!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Kashi TLC granola bars and greek yogurt
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Yogurt! I can’t go a day without it. I especially like vanilla flavored organic yogurt and honey flavored greek yogurt!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:07 am

on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:07 am

on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on english muffins!! I have to limit my english muffin purchasing because I will eat them for every meal when I have them.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I am totally addicted to anything eggs. I could eat them anywhere, anytime, any meal..you get the drift! At least it’s not an unhealthy addiction
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:57 am

on Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:26 am
I’m addicted to almond butter, olives, salsa, and (I never thought I’d say this) spinach!
Have a great day!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:40 am
I’d say I’m addicted to cheese. I can choose healthier cheeses, but they’ve gotta be there!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:45 am
First of all, good riddance (on that weird contraption thing you’ve had to wear. …How did you sleep with that one?)
Also, I will admit chips/crackers/popcorn/snacky salty things like this are my downfall.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:57 am

Ice cream for sure! and Cereal lol
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 11:25 am
I’m addicted to green tea and cinnamon. Not necessarily in combination, but I have to say, green tea chai is amazing. I’m obsessed with any type of green tea, and I’m always on the lookout for new flavors. My current fave is Stash Goji Green Tea. And cinnamon just makes everything better!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 11:25 am
gum, diet soda, fugi apples.
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 11:38 am

I am addicted to my smoothies right now, check out the pumpkin one I made this morning I think you would love it TINA!!!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 11:54 am
I’m completely addicted to peanut butter! I’ve finally realized how much happier I can be (and how much less I binge) when I find a way to work a nut butter into my meals every day. Finally!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
pb, cereal, and almond breeze!!! always have to have them
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
DD Iced Coffee in the summer. You better believe I am running straight for the one in Logan as soon as I get off the plane in Boston!

I have been loving iced coffee as of late too! Also, oatmeal!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Oooo I’m so excited for the blogger summit! I hope this means it’s going to be in Boston
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Diet Coke is my coffee. I drink one for breakfast every morning. I guess that is an addiction!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I love iced coffee too… probably too much lol
So… does this mean that the summit is in Boston?
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I am addicted to my new jar of raw almond butter from Trader Joe’s! I don’t know why, but it’s grainer and more almond-y than any other jar I have had of the stuff and I seriously love it. I only use a tiny bit at a time…and that’s restraint!
I’d say I’m addicted to fro yo as well…but I don’t think I am. I just REALLY like it
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I’m addited to chocolate, baked goods, Barney Butter (I know you’re with me on that one!) and nuts.
I need to find some new diet motivators – I’m been out of control lately.
Hey, when you have a minute, check out my Holey Donuts giveway. The stuff is gooood
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
gum and PB (I actually start panicking if I’m running out), oatmeal, blueberries, spinach, yogurt, and chocolate
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
COFFEE!!! And fruit
I have to have BOTH in the morning, or I am a cranky girl 
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Peanut butter. The addiction is so bad that I can’t even keep it in the apartment anymore because I’ll just dig in with a spoon!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
I am addicted to bananas, peanut butter, oatmeal, grapes, watermelon…actually ALL fruit!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I’m addicted to cheese. If I haven’t had some recently I start to have intense cravings for it!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I am so embarassed to say mine is pastries if there is 10 infront of me I probably will eat them all!
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
[...] dinner I had to get to work on some Summit business. I am sure you read Tina and Caitlin’s blogs, so you now know the potential destination will be Boston!!!! Anyway, I used [...]
on Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Anything crunchy and usually carby. I think that means I have extra stress to release by chomping (read that somewhere…hmm). But I’ve been substituting my pita chip noms with homemade air popped popcorn, although I feel nauseous after eating a huge bowl. Probably because it’s huge hahah but in all seriousness, popcorn in general shouldn’t make someone feel this way 0_0!
on Jun 10th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Totally addicted to herbal tea, GoLean cereal, cottage cheese, and hummus.
