I’m obsessed with making iced coffee drinks in the summer. Well, just this summer. I’ve never really done it before this summer. Stop saying summer. But I’m really into them now. And I’m even more into adding protein powder to it. Thankfully I have the delicious Primal Fuel in my house constantly. After long days of emails and cooking and writing and eating, this little protein mocha is the perfect pick me up!
Can we just talk about the elephant in the room? What’s up with the guy who bit the other guys shoulder during the soccer game? Who does that? Someone is in your way, you’re all jacked up on World Cup Fever and testosterone and what do you do? Shove? Na. Trip. No way, too easy. Elbow to the mouth? Too obvious. Nope, I’ll bite the guy. Nipple is too aggressive, shoulder will do. That guy has issues. May I even say mommy issues. Not sure how that relates, but I’m going to say it. And he’s done it twice before? Tool.
It’s weird seeing so many people so excited about the World Cup. Mostly because it’s soccer. I literally hear NO ONE talk about soccer, like ever. But now it’s all everyone talks about. I don’t remember people being this psycho about it 4 years ago. It feels a bit bandwagon to me. Probably because I could give two sh*ts about any sports. Negative Nancy over here. My b.
So I don’t listen to country music, it’s just not on my daily playlist. All I really listen to is some sort of dance music. In the car. In the gym. That’s really the only time I listen to music. But I had 180 beats per minute. Country doesn’t have that very often. BUT I was invited to a Jake Owen concert this weekend so I’m going to it. I have some ankle boots that kind of look like cowboy boots, so I’ll fit in, right? Right. And I’ll act like I know the words. Fake it ’til you make it.
I really miss The Office. Why couldn’t that show go on forever?

Thank you for making me laugh today. I needed that. Now I’m a big fan!. I am new to your website, from a friend referral just today. And also new to Paleo. But it is changing my life, as I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. And nothing, ever, never, for any reason, whatsoever, ever, can take the place of The Office. Just finished watching all nine seasons on Netflix. Still craving more!
Apparently that was the third time he has bit someone in 4 years, what the what?! and someone made a bet that he would bite someone during the world cup and won 30,000!
First, this sounds amazing! Perfect pre-workout for the summer!
Second, I’m SOOO jealous about the Jake Owen concert, hope you enjoy it!
Love your blog Juli and the recipes, and thanks for helping me realize Paleo is the only way to go. But I’ve got to wag my finger at you. You can’t say you don’t give a sh*t about soccer then talk about how it’s gaining in popularity in America as if it’s a bad thing. It sounds bizarre. As for the Uruguayan Luis Suarez (official World Cup biter) he needs treatment. Let’s see if the powers that be can determine what’s more important; scoring goals for club and country or correcting a deep psychological issue.
I love iced coffee. I will definitely add this recipe to my rotation. I make coffee ice cubes so my drink doesn’t get watery-well if it lasts longer than a few minutes 🙂
It is odd how no one talks about soccer until the World Cup comes around. Then it’s all people can talk about. This recipe looks great by the way. I send many of my clients to your blog who are looking for easy and delicious paleo recipes.
I guess World Cup is like the Olympics to me; an opportunity to root for the US. Also, have you seen all the Luis photoshop masterpieces? http://static.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/suarez-jaws-1403706461.jpg
This is the best way ever to enjoy coffee and a fun drink in one! Thanks, Juli!
I’m with you on the country music. Like it but don’t listen to it often. I had the chance to see Jake Owen in concert as well. HE WAS AMAZING!!! First, he’s hot and second, just a great entertainer. You will have a blast.
And thank you for your time, effort and hard work to create fabulous recipes.
Jake Owen. I think you will be pleasantly surprised…. I went to his concert a few months ago just for something to do ( I live in Casper Wyoming and when someone comes to concert you just go…. You don’t miss the rare opportunity to have something to do.) enjoy! I thought his concert was pretty fun!
