Even though summer doesn’t technically begin until June 20, it certainly feels like summer in Florida already.
Ryan and I took Sadie on a walk around 7:30 a.m. and returned sweaty. The sun was already blazing before 8 a.m. and the humidity was kickin’.
When we arrived back home, I made myself a cold mock-Frappuccino coffee drink to help me cool off as I type up this blog post.
In the blender I combined approximately 1 1/2 cups of ice with a packet of Taster’s Choice instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup of hot water, 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder and some stevia until it was sweet enough for my liking. Yum!
Breakfast
Before our hot walk, we ate a hot breakfast. In retrospect, this probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but it was tasty!
I made scrambled eggs with chopped veggies and mozzarella cheese, served with a toasted Publix bagel topped with whipped butter.
Our plans for the day are up in the air. We’re thinking about visiting the springs nearby, but the weather is calling for rain again this afternoon, so we’ll see!

last week the weather was crazy hot here in UT too, but this weekend is actually kind of chilly (at least for me – i’m from AZ!). we left the windows open last night, and i woke up this morning freezing! our house said 64 degrees… i haven’t seen that since winter!
We’re getting rain today, too! Boo! Hope you have a good day and the weather turns around for you!
I have that exact same iced coffee cup. Did you send away for it?
Breakfast looks yummy, as usual! Have a great day 🙂
That “frappuccino’ sounds awesome! ice coffee is my favorite on these hot humid mornings! enjoy your sunday 🙂
I’m surprised to see you aren’t at the blogher conference
It looks like a lot of fun and a great way to learn more about blogging but was too expensive for me to swing this year and I wanted to save $$ b/c I am traveling for a bachelorette party w/ friends at the end of Aug. I’ve never been to a BlogHer conference before and would love to see what they’re all about some day!
Yum! That breakfast looks awesome! I’ve heard the weather, at home in Florida, has been quite yucky! I’ve been on vacation and mostly dodging the weather but now I’m in Alabama and it’s not great here either. I’d love a nice sunny pool day but that is not going to happen:( I hope it holds up for you to go to the springs though!
It has been incredibly rainy for the past two weeks!
I’ve been making a protein iced coffee after my workouts lately and loving it: iced coffee, dash of milk and half a scoop of vanilla Sunwarrior!…tastes even better than a “tall iced Americano with a pump of vanilla syrup” ;)!
Julie, do you know if there are any large supermarket chains that sell alternative bagels? I don’t think there are any Publixes around here….
I buy the Alternative bagels at my local Wal-Mart!! They are in the refrigerated section near the cream cheese.
That mock frap looks great, I have to try that!
Texas is super hot already, too! Today is going to be 98 degrees and tomorrow it is supposed to reach 100. I will be living near the pool!!
The weather is crazy hot here too!! I just got back from a week vacation in Florida where it was in the mid-80s all week. Here in Ohio it’s supposed to be in the 90s today! Craziness!!
It’s supposed to heat up here in Missouri today too – my brother and I are thinking about going hiking, but it might turn into a pool day 🙂
Making your own blended coffee drink is a great way to save money but still get a delicious treat! 🙂
Hope the warm weather holds up you get a break from all the rain!
I can’t wait till it gets warm enough to take early morning walks here in utah!
Surprisingly, it feels like summer up in New Jersey today too… it’s so hot and humid! I can only imagine what the next few months will be like if it’s like this already! Enjoy your Sunday! 🙂
Oooo that frappuchino sounds so good! What a good idea!
Try Snow !!!! We live near Banff and it has been raining all week and yesterday it snowed. Got to love Canada.
It’s hot out here, too! Mid 90’s! It feels good, though 😀
It’s not here on TX too, can’t even take my dog for a walk caused gets too miserable.
a little bit jealous…it’s only just starting to seem like spring here in Ontario lol!
That frapaccino looks amazing. You always have the most creative smoothie/frap combinations :). Its really hot in Chicago right now! Its supposed to be 90 degrees today and its not even summer!
The weather is super hot in Tucson too! The thing to look forward to here is our monsoon season, which brings some cool lightning storms. :o)
Instant Coffee Packets + Vanilla Protein Shake Mix + Xanthan Gum = Caffe Latte Smoothie! YUM!
