You may or may not know that I am not only a mom and a blogger, but I am also a competition dance teacher. That means that once competition season comes around, my weekends are full of fun but a lot of early on the go mornings and crazy long days.
I’m talking up at 6:00 AM and finally back to the hotel by 11:00 PM long.
When you have to be “up and at em” at the crack of dawn, you rely on some go-to tricks for an energizing on the go morning. And obviously caffeine is a key player in this plan 😉 Here’s my 3 step plan for kick-starting an early morning…
STEP ONE: an easy to grab breakfast
I used to be a huge breakfast person, but over the years I have stopped eating breakfast for whatever reason. It’s terrible, I know. But, if I don’t eat some sort of breakfast snack on competition mornings, I am in a world of shaky hurt by the time lunch rolls around.
Although bananas make my tongue itch (anyone else have this weird side effect?), they’re my favorite on-the-go breakfast. It’s so easy to grab one on my way out the door, plus most hotels with continental breakfasts have bananas.
STEP TWO: an easy to grab source of delicious caffeine
These ready-to-drink Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffees are my LIFESAVERS during comp season. Believe it or not, sometimes I don’t even have time to get coffee the morning of a competition. I stock up on these Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffees and stick them in my hotel mini fridge so I can grab and go.
These are the perfect on-the-go solution for those looking for a convenient iced coffee fix. They’re made according to Dunkin’ Donuts’ specifications using high-quality Arabica coffee blends with real milk and sugar. Sometimes I even pack them and bring them with me to the competition for a quick afternoon pick-me up! They come in 4 delicious flavors, all of which I have tried and love: Original, French Vanilla, Mocha, and Espresso.
You can find these at your local Cub Foods or Farm Fresh store: Farm Fresh Store Locator or Cub Foods Store Locator
STEP THREE: a wake-you-up motivating and positive podcast
I’m a podcast addict, I’ve listened to dozens and dozens. The one that I repeatedly go back to as a source of realism, positivity, and humor is the RuPaul podcast “What’s the Tee?”. I’ve been using the Podcast Addict app to organize all of my fav podcasts on my phone.
Get yourself an easy to grab breakfast, download your favorite podcast (or my favorite!), and stop by your local Cub Foods or Farm Fresh store to pick up some Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee. Every flavor is delicious!
You can find a Cub or Farm Fresh near you by visiting their store locators: Cub Foods Store Locator or Farm Fresh Store Locator
Have you tried the Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee’s? Which one is your favorite? Is RuPaul your personal guru as well? 😉 Let’s chat about it in the comments below!
NGL, those Dunkin drinks are pretty good. I’m guilty of picking one up when I walk in the grocery store, drink it while shopping, and paying for an empty bottle LOL
Haha that’s hilarious!
I love iced coffees but I’ve never tried the Dunkin ones! I’m going to grab a couple next time I see them. They look delicious.
They’re so good! I’ve tried a lot of different kinds, and these are definitely one of my faves!
Im iced coffee obsessed! I definitely need to try these!!
Me too 🙂 At least until the frigid winter temps hit.
Sometimes these premade iced coffee drinks are just what the doctor ordered on a busy morning!
Amen 🙂
It would save me so much time if I were to buy the iced coffee at the store instead of going through a drive thru on my way to work . Those lines can be so long.
And drive-thrus and can get spendy!
I need to stock up, I love dunking coffee!
They’ve cornered the market on delicious coffee drinks 🙂
I love dunken coffee! The only thing that would make these better for me is if they had a non milk option!!
That’s a good point, wonder if they’d ever develop one?
Ooh i love iced coffee but have never tried DD’s. yum!
SO. GOOD.
Love this, makes me feel all motivated!
Happy to motivate 🙂
Definitely agree that caffeine is necessary for my mornings!! Haven’t tried these Dunkin Donuts drink though–will have to check it out!
They’re one of the best ones I have tried!
Most days I wish I liked coffee because I need the caffeine in the morning but it’s harder to find it when you don’t drink coffee. I do love my morning podcasts though!
I used to be a non-coffee drinker, and then I ended up working 12 hour days as a hairstylist. I learned to love it out of necessity lol
This looks so delicious. I love Dunkin Donuts and this is the perfect morning routine.
It’s delish!
Hmmmm I never have tried any of the Dunkin bottled coffee. I’ve tried Starbucks stuff though but not a fan because they use sugar substitutes. I want to get back to listening to music in the morning though! My favorite breakfast is actually bagels
I loooove bagels too! With strawberry cream cheese, yum 🙂
Dunkin is already a love of mine, so I have to try these out now!
