Busy Mom Solution: #IcedCoffee in a Carton!! #CBias

“A morning without coffee is like…. sleep.” – Author Unknown

I’m a coffee junkie. As hardcore as you can get. Without my coffee, I’m like a tired, floppy, useless jellyfish… Well, you know, if jellyfish had deadlines and toddlers and laundry and stuff. But just like Clark Kent could emerge from a phone booth transformed into Superman – Each morning, after a couple of cups of coffee, I emerge from my “mom-cave” office as a Super Mom.

“I believe humans get a lot done, not because we’re smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee.” – Flash Rosenberg

Here’s the problem though… Jellyfish struggle to make coffee. I cannot even tell you how many times I have totally failed at brewing my first pot of the day. I’ll add water, but no coffee. I’ll add the coffee and the water – but forget the filter. And best of all – Forget to even turn the darn thing ON. There are only 4 steps – water, filter, coffee grounds, on switch. It should be simple. But when you’re a morning jellyfish type, it’s not. When I heard about this new International Delights Iced Coffee, that comes right in a ready to chug container, I was intrigued – but skeptical. I’ve never been a big fan of other ready-to-drink coffee beverages. But I figured hey, this will be a great option for those mornings when my first pot of coffee is a disaster, right?

{FYI – My computer crashed this week, and I lost some of my pictures. So – A few other lovely ladies that sampled this coffee let me borrow a few of their pics, so I could show you how much this stuff rocked! This pic above is from The Gunny Sack – Check out her idea for Peppermint Frappe!}

{This picture of iced coffee deliciousness comes from Southern Yankee Mix – Doesn’t is just make your mouth water?} I love ANY type of coffee – But a good iced coffee is the best. But – here’s the problem – All of the ready-made coffee drinks are too artificial tasting for me. So – You’re wondering – “How was this new International Delights Iced Coffee?? Get to the point already!!” – Drum roll…. It totally knocked my socks off!

“Coffee is a beverage that puts one to sleep when not drank.” – Alphonse Allais

This International Delights Iced Coffee comes in a carton like juice or milk, and there are three different flavors to choose from – Mocha, Vanilla, and Original. {This pic of a refreshing glass of creamy coffee goodness is from the super-lovely Someday I’ll Learn} They’re all totally perfect, but in different ways. Here’s the scoop – The Vanilla was my favorite. Sweet, but not too fake-sugary sweet. Just pour it over ice and drink. So good. The Mocha obviously is more of a chocolate-y flavor, a hint of sweetness. The Original is less sweet for those of you that like your coffee a little more basic – and is a PERFECT base if you like to mix in other flavors.

“Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee.” – Stephanie Piro

There you have it – a super simple solution to those of you who, like me, need buckets of coffee to live. You can get these soon {January 15th!} at your local Walmart – I’ve been stalking mine like crazy, waiting for this to come in. I drank all 3 cartons I got within just a few days. Let me know when you see it in your neighborhood – and let me know if you’re lovin’ it too.

Stop by and give big THANK YOU’s to the lovely ladies who shared pics to help me write this post for ya…. Someday I’ll Learn, The Gunny Sack, and Southern Yankee Mix! They rock :)
