The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit is perfect for single serve coffee away from home. This kit I received comes with a pour over coffee maker and 4 single serving pour-over pouches that are pre-filled with organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.

   The pour-over coffee maker, which is the green piece you see in the photos, is made of a food grade silicone and is collapsible for easy storing. It's so easy to use, with the provided coffee pouches or using a coffee filter, and your own scoop of ground coffee beans, just pour the water over the coffee and you get a fresh cup any time you want!

    I love the little canister of ready to go coffee, where each pouch has an ear drip filter to help hold it in place. It takes a little bit to get use to, and you also have to be really gentle as the filters rip easily (see photo); But this is such a great invention, and would be great for taking on camping or beach trips. It's also perfect for minimalist homes or those that don't drink a lot of coffee but would like to every now and then.

   The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit would make a great gift for adventurers or a little something special for yourself. You can find it available for purchase on Amazon.

Chike Nutrition Win and Protein Coffee Shake

   I recently won an awesome little package from Chike Nutrition, with their brand shaker bottle and four packs of their High Protein Coffee Shakes.

 I can't believe each packet has the amount of caffeine of 2 espresso shots! Because of this and my sensitivities to too much caffeine, I only used a fourth of the pack at a time and still felt the jitters lol. 

 

   I used the Vanilla Iced Coffee Protein Powder blended with frozen pumpkin and it was pretty good, made for a nice breakfast. The other flavors I received are: mocha, original, and peanut butter.

What flavor would you most like to try?

Hopping on the Dalgona Coffee Bus

   So I've been hearing all the rage about Dalgona Coffee and how good it is and how easy it is to make. I decided to get on the Dalgona Coffee Bus and try it out for myself. It really is extremely easy to make! And it only takes 3 ingredients, which you then pour over your choice of a milk-like drink. 

To make Dalgona Coffee, you need the following ingredients:

2 TBS Instant Coffee

2TBS Hot Water

2 TBS Sugar

I cut the recipe in half and used a packet of Folgers instant coffee for mine. So in a little glass jar, I added in 1 TBS of Hot Water, a little less than 1 TBS of sugar, and the instant coffee packet. I then used my frother and frothed away until it was whipped to perfection. This makes such a beautiful color and looks good being poured over your drink! 

A lot of people pour it over milk or Almond Milk, but you can really do whatever you want. I had a Vanilla Cappuccino drink that I poured mine on and it was delicious! I also only used half of this mixture I made, so it didn't turn out as pretty as other peoples Dalgona Coffees, but it was still fun to experiment!

Enjoying a Mug of Gourmesso Caramello Espresso

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 

    If you're looking for a really good cup of coffee, you gotta try the Gourmesso Caramello Espresso pods. That caramel flavor is so delicious and gives you a rich and creamy cup of coffee. The coffee is made of a 100% Fairtrade blend of finely ground Arabica beans from South America and Robusta beans from Asia, which is then combined with a slow roasting process. 

   I really like these little pods and the deliciousness each one holds. The aroma and flavor of the caramel, mixed with the perfect amount of crema is everything you want in a cup of coffee. You can enjoy your own personal espresso in the comfort of your home!

Each box has 10 Espresso Capsules that are compatible with Nespresso Machines and are available for purchase on Amazon.

Baking with Milkman Instant Lowfat Dry Milk

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   A great item to have in your pantry is Milkman's Instant Low Fat Dry Milk! It's shelf stable for quite some time, until you are ready to use it, and each bag is the equivalent to one quart of milk. You can use it in several recipes, wet or dry, depending on what you make, and it works just like milk should!

   I really love this brand of powdered milk. It took me back to my childhood when we would drink powdered milk after running out of 1% milk. The flavor is sweet and creamy, and it works great in baking recipes! I love that it can sit in your pantry as a powder and ready to use when needed, just by adding water! Such a great product to have on hand! I made delicious little biscuits and you couldn't even taste the milk in them! See how perfect they came out? :)

Relaxation in Small Things

 

I was enjoying a cup of cocoa latte and some cookies and decided to take a photo of the comforting scene I was staring at. Life really is just about a bunch of small things coming together to form one big thing. Make a bunch of small positive moves each day and you will see the happiness grow!

Emergen-C Protein Fuel & Superfoods

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

 

The Emergen-C Protein Fuel & Superfoods powder makes a great drink to add to my rotation of post workout drinks. I love drinking a smoothie after a good workout, especially when it has extra health benefits! I tried both the Mixed Berry flavor and the Pomegranate Mango flavor, both with water alone. I definitely liked the Pomegranate Mango better, but I found that with both drinks, the powder doesn't mix completely. I used my shaker cup for each drink, and though it's much easier than having to get a blender out, I might prefer to just use my single serve blender when it comes to mixing powders. I really like that these shakes give me 2 servings of Superfruits AND 2 servings of Superveggies! Plus 15g of protein, and it's chocked full of antioxidants and vitamins! These drinks are especially great on the go, as no blender is needed, and they will keep you full for longer. Overall, this is a great drink mix filled with all the healthy benefits!

Laird Superfood Creamers + Get 20% Off! *

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

Are you looking for a healthier alternative to creamer?

   Laird Superfood Creamers are made with simple ingredients, and are better for you than other creamers with a lot of sugars added in. This creamer has 4g or less of low-glycemic coconut sugar per serving and it's made with all-natural, whole food ingredients. It also contains Aquamin, which is a multi-mineral complex that is rich in calcium, magnesium, and 72 trace minerals. The creamer is vegan and Paleo friendly, also free of stevia, dairy, soy, gluten, and GMOs.

   I recently had the chance to test the Laird Superfood Creamers in original and cacao flavors. This is such a great product if you're looking for a healthier creamer. I like that you can have the option for a vanilla coconutty flavor and a chocolate coconutty flavor. They equally go great in hot drinks such as coffee, tea, or cocoa. 

 

   You add about a tbs to your hot drink and mix. The powder mixes well in hot liquids, especially when you use a power operated frother whisk. I added some of the creamer to my hot cocoa and it tasted delicious, like an Almond Joy Candy Bar, with a bit of cream. Definitely recommend! The creamer doesn't need refrigerated so you can travel easily with it and store it as you please. This is the perfect creamer for coconut lovers!

* For a limited time, you can get 20% off your entire order with the promo code: MOM20 at momsmeet.link/lairdcreamer

Starting My Day With RISE Brewing Co Lattes

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.  



   I recently had the chance to try Rise Brewing Co Lattes, a cold brew coffee that originated from New York. Their coffee has been grown at a high altitude in the Chanchmayo Valley in Peru; made all organic, with purified water. It is 70% less acidic than standard coffee, naturally sweetened, and has no artificial add ins. Each can is complemented with a Nitrogen infusion, which gives the can a nice 'pop' and the coffee a smooth texture with a creamy top.

   The variety pack I received contained the following flavors: Mocha Latte, Classic Latte, Oat Milk Latte, and Original Black.

   Rise Mocha Latte has a creamy taste and texture. It reminds me a bit of an unsweetened chocolate pudding flavor. The organic low fat cocoa powder gives this drink a lightly sweetened chocolate sense with a soft mocha aroma. It is dairy free, made with oat milk, which adds to the creamy smooth texture. It also contains sunflower oil which gives it a hint of nuttiness. This drink contains 15g of sugar and 1g of protein, this latte has 150 calories and is equal to 1 cup of coffee.

    Classic Latte has a slight underlining sour taste, yet slightly sweet and creamy. It is made with organic skim milk and cream, with a sweet cafe aroma. It contains 17g of sugar and 6g of protein, with 125 calories it is equal to 1 cup of coffee. 

   Oat Milk Latte has a strong oats flavor and aroma. It is very similar to the mocha latte, without the added cocoa. It is also made with sunflower oil, giving it a hint of the sunflower nut. This drink is dairy free, made with oat milk and contains 12g of sugar, 1g of protein, and is 130 calories. Also equal to 1 cup of coffee.

     Original Black is just as it sounds, straight black coffee. The color is beautiful and the top froth is as perfect as the others. The coffee itself has a very bitter taste and pungent smell. Made of only organic coffee beans and purified water, it is equal to 2 cups of coffee.

 Which flavor do you think I liked the best? The winner for me is... the MOCHA LATTE! I loved the creamy, natural chocolatey flavor this one carried. Even better, that it's dairy free! So next time your in the store and spot RISE drinks, I suggest any of the latte drinks! They hit the right spot and give you a little sweetness to get your day going.
