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.

#ad Who’s ready to ‘Live La Dolce Vita’? I k #ad Who’s ready to ‘Live La Dolce Vita’? I know I am ready to sit back and relax after moving houses, and there is no better way than with @cavitwines ‘ Pinot Grigio, the OG of Pinot Grigio. Perfect timing with Pinot Grigio Day and Cavit celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Italian Pinot Grigio done right 🤌🏻 

You need to ask yourself ‘How Italian is my Pinot Grigio?’ My guess is, Cavit already knows 😘 Living La Dolce Vita the right way, with the OG of Pinot Grigio, Cavit’s Pinot Grigio. Cheers!
Anyone else struggling with those hot nights 🔥🥴?! Those of you who know, y’all know.. and it can be miserable! I have found a way to help cool things off during my slumber, and that’s with @mybearaby bamboo sheets SET AND their duvet cover. They are all made from breathable bamboo fabric, giving way to naturally antibiotic bedding that is smooth and soft. 

The Bearaby Bamboo Sheets and Duvet Cover help reduce heat buildup overnight, are moisture-wicking (great for hot sleepers), and they feel cool when you get into bed. The perfect combination for a good night sleep 😴

One of my favorite things to do is work in the yar One of my favorite things to do is work in the yard ☀️🌱 While I am doing all the things outside, I make sure I have my @solbari hat! It is a must-have, especially when it comes to UPF. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.

This measures how effectively a fabric blocks UV radiation from reaching the skin. All of Solbari products are tested and rated for UPF 50+ Blocks UVA and UVB rays. This is a big deal! My easiest hack for protecting my face/scalp from skin cancer and speeding up those signs of aging. #solbari

#ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s #ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s right around the corner, and why not hear from a mother herself on some great gift ideas? 💁🏻‍♀️

@everskincare is basically “Facelift in a bottle”. Ok, SOLD! The formula is clean, and it’s formulated with LSR10, aka aging’s worst enemy, clinically proven to reduce the top 10 signs of aging. 
@trilastinskincare is a nourishing body oil that soothes dry skin, smooths skin texture, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Not to mention that it’s all-natural, hypoallergenic, non-greasy and a pregnancy-safe formula!
@blissybrand is the best kept secret that all mothers want to know about! Their signature Blissy Silk Pillowcase is crafted from 100% mulberry silk. Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t tug on your skin or absorb moisture. This helps minimize wrinkles, retain hydration, and support a clearer, more youthful complexion. Plus, it helps you wake up with smoother, frizz-free hair!
@jennybarkertheflowerdoctor ‘s book, Flower Energy: Channeling the Healing Power of Blooms, not only teaches you to interpret and channel the messages of each unique flower it holds, but the beautiful photos within are inspiring. A book that brings power and beauty to flowers and your coffee table !
@fieldsgreat knows how busy moms can be, and their Plant-Based Protein Blend contains 30g protein PLUS 5g fiber and 0g sugar in one simple shake. That’s what I am talking about! Supporting strength, digestion, and a steady energy - especially for those over 40.

Take it from this mom, these all make for great Mother’s Day gift ideas!
