My new addiction.
When we went down to the shore for 4th of July I had one tough night with the kids. The next morning I left the house in search of an iced coffee and stumbled upon my only island option – a Dunkin Donuts. I thought I didn’t like DD, but I was desperate for something to make me feel energized so I gave it a shot.
As an aside – I’ve been drinking decaf tea and iced coffee for years and I *swear* it still gives me the boost I need. It’s all mental, perhaps?
Anyway, I am now officially a Dunkin Donuts addict. My order is a large decaf iced hazelnut with whole milk. It’s deeeeeeelicious.
I need to find some more coupons because this could get expensive. I even searched for the closest Dunkin Donuts drive through so I can make a quick stop when I have both kids with me without having to get out of the car.
Drinking a huge decaf iced coffee in the afternoons may not be the healthiest thing for me, but I really enjoy it and it helps keep me full until dinnertime. Since I only drink coffee in the summer, I’m going to enjoy it as much as my budget allows.
What do you do to make it through the long afternoons?
Similar to you, I also like iced coffee, in addition to Chick-Fil-A Diet Lemonade! So refreshing, especially in the summer!
I love Starbucks green tea lemonade … SO GOOD. And iced coffee is amazing.
I am also addicted to iced coffee. We have a really delicious placed called Dutch Brothers. I also drink decaf and I love their espresso. I drink an iced Americano with just a little bit of half and half. Even at $2, it adds up quick! I can only go a couple of days without before I have withdrawls! And, like you I can sip one for hours.
Good luck with your addiction!
I thought I’d heard this before but I found an article just to make sure: http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20061011/decaf-coffee-isnt-caffeine-free
Decaf isn’t 100% caffeine free. There is residual caffeine in there, so you aren’t crazy, you’re getting a tiny caffeine boost!
I love an iced coffee in the afternoon too. And I also love DD hazelnut, but I moved to Colorado from NJ a couple years ago and we don’t have DD out here in the Denver area. So sad…
Dd sells there coffee so you could make your own at home!
I could have written this post! DD is my go-to place for decaf iced coffee! I switch it up between unflavored, hazelnut & French vanilla! Also, congrats on completing insanity, you look awesome! I’m 12 weeks post partum and still trying to find the balance between working out, healthy eating and maintaining my milk supply!
love iced coffee! i make it at home now with my french press and have given up hot coffee almost completely.
