Iced Coffee Addiction

June 9, 2009

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

I’m addicted to coffee and eggs. Absolutely!

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.

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.

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.

Coffee. Hands down. And yesterday my doctor told me to cut back because I have a mild ulcer. Noooooooooooooooo!

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! :D

Ada June 9, 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.

Emily June 9, 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!

My newest addiction is Shakeology. It’s like a SUPER-SUPER Protein shake. I’m also definitely addicted to laughing cow light and la tortilla wraps. I eat them almost every day. :)

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.
