Coffee Recipes and Finding Energy During the Summer

May 30, 2019 · In: Beverage, Recipes

This post is sponsored by Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

First off, where is my coffee? The summer months come with lots of fun and the need for more energy to keep up with kids who are out of school as well as all the camps and team practices being held. How is one to find the necessary energy to keep up with all of this madness? Well, here is a few tips that are helping to keep me trucking along with all that is scheduled.

Chameleon Cold Brew

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

This phrase has more than one meaning for me this summer. With swim team practices most mornings, swim meets, fun camps, 3 active kids, and hours spent at the pool, one not only feels the need to keep swimming in that chlorinated pool. I have to dig deep and find the drive to just ‘keep swimming’ with the madness of each day. Finding that necessary energy during the summer months seems much more difficult due to the lack of a structured routine. Summers are meant for fun but some things must give so that we all survive.

So how do we do this?

Find time to chill.

Yep, you are hearing me right. You have got to find that time to just chill. By taking time to relax and do something for yourself, you will find a way to have that extra energy. There is something about some self care time that mentally prepares me for each day, giving way to some energy. This can be anything from reading a book or going for a quick run. It is hard to find that chill time with kids at home, but you must make it a priority. Give those kids their quiet time, like reading a book or coloring. Then you get to your self care time!

Coffee the right way: Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate.

This one word brings me energy: coffee. I have always been a lover of coffee, prepared any way. Starting my day off with a cup of coffee just makes things right in the world. Anyone else with me on this? With the hot Louisiana heat during the summer, a nice cold cup of coffee is a must. Don’t get me wrong here. I still love a steaming hot cup of coffee. Coffee is my jam no matter cold or hot. Fixing my coffee cold has never been so good since grabbing Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate.

Chameleon Cold Brew

The endless options of Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate.

Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate is literally the best thing coffee-related I have ever found. Not only is it stored in the refrigerator, ready to go whenever I need it, but it can be prepared however you want it! The folks at Chameleon Cold-Brew first carefully select the world’s finest specialty grade, organic coffee beans and gently roast them to ensure no bean gets burned. No one likes burnt coffee beans!

Chameleon Cold Brew

Next, they steep the coffee grounds for more than 12 hours. This creates a cold brew coffee concentrate that’s super smooth, low acid, and highly caffeinated – in other words, Chameleon makes the most of its cold brew so you can make the most of your day. This is a coffee I can get behind.

Chameleon Cold Brew

Chameleon Cold Brew

With it being a concentrate, it must be diluted. You can dilute it however you want! Add your favorite milk or nut milk, and enjoy. You can even at it to your smoothie. Talk about a great way to start out the day!

So where can you find your Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate? Check out the refrigerated section in your local Kroger. I promise you, I will be a frequent shopper in that part of the store.

Chameleon Cold Brew

Enjoy the summer and have the energy to go along with it.

Get to planning those summer activities and have the energy to go along with them. Take it from this mom of 3, you will love having Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate stocked in your refrigerator this summer.

11/4 cups of all purpose flour
3 tbsps corn starch
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick of softened butter, unsalted butter cut into cubes
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 bag of chocolate chips ( or more 😉)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
Mix butter and sugars until creamy. Then add egg and vanilla extract. Mix well before slowly adding dry ingredients.
On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, scoop 2 scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough/cookie onto pan. Then gently press 1 Christmas sugar cookie into the center of each chocolate chip cookie dough round.

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5-10 minutes.

Ok @honeylove 🫶🔥 I have tried at MULTIPLE di Ok @honeylove 🫶🔥 I have tried at MULTIPLE different shapewear brands throughout my life. Let me tell you, none of them compare to HoneyLove! Not only are these 2 shapewear pieces comfortable (yes comfortable), they are easy to put on, and look seamless under your clothes.

I gave these pieces a test run with a satin skirt and black pants.. and man oh man 🤌🏻 If you are looking for shapewear that is easy for layering and makes you feel confident in layering pieces, you need to check out HoneyLove!

I mean, is it the holidays without an awesome cook I mean, is it the holidays without an awesome cookie recipe? I don’t think so 😂 Here is quite possibly my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe that is indeed GF! These cookies are thicker and not the soft/chewy type of cookie. The dark chocolate is that perfect addition that gives these cookies life 🫶🏻

2 cups @kingarthurbaking  GF 1-to-1 Flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 
1 egg
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract 
1 1/2 - 2 cups @letsbakebelieve dark chocolate chips
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling tops

Preheat oven at 350. Cream butter and sugars together in large bowl. Add egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix. Add in dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well by folding. Then carefully fold in chocolate chips.

Place about 2 tbsp scoop cookie dollops onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake cookies for ~10 minutes or until edges are turning a light brown. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!
