yummy

are you hot or cold in the morning?

Near our house, there is a shopping center that contains 2 Starbucks, Jamba Juice and a market with an active coffee/smoothie bar. Every morning all 4 of these spots are crowded with an off-to-work crowd of bustling people in search of their wake-up call. For me, I can’t seem to drink anything but cold items (like Jamba) throughout the summer, but will opt for a hot chai all winter long. But I seem like the odd man out with my seasonal affectations.

Today’s craving (even though it was only 62 degrees outside) : Jamba Juice. I would have gone for an iced chai as well… but I get so much more from that 24 oz. icey goodness for the same price.

What’s your morning refresher? Hot/Cold/Varies with the season or internal temperature of your daytime location?

    I often have an internal battle while at Starbucks in the morning. On hot mornings, I am tempted to get a cold drink. But my office is freezing cold so a cold drink will only make me shiver so I usually opt for a hot drink and turn the air on a bit in the car so I don’t overheat from the inside out.

    I am always surprised to find people drinking hot coffee on a 100+ degree day. I don’t know how people do it!

    during the winter, i fell in love with espresso truffles at Starbucks (think hot chocolate w/ espresso).
    with the heat this summer, it’s all about iced coffees for me. my fiance, on the other hand, manages to drink hot coffee while complaining how hot the weather is.

    When it’s going to be a high over 85 during the day, regardless of how cool it might be in the morning, I must have a cold beverage. Now, in the winter time — I’m all about a nice hot latte. I tend to get Jamba for lunch more often than breakfast, but if I were to hit up Starbucks this morning, I’d be ordering and an ICED beverage…no doubt.
