TASTING

There will be a new addition to my coffee cabinet.

Ok, I said I would do a live taste testing, but there were extenuating circumstances.

First off my coffee didn’t arrive until about 2 pm on Saturday. I had a friend over and we talked about it and I said I would just wait til morning.

About 3:30, I said screw it, I’ve waited long enough, I am going to try it. We will see just how much energy this is going to give me.

So I opened the box, I had purchased the buy 2 get the creamer for free. 2 reasons, I knew if I didn’t like the coffee I could give it to the friend that told me about it. And the creamer had MCT oil in it.
You hear me talk about bulletproof coffee which is coffee with grass fed butter and MCT oil, so I was excited they had this to add.

So back to the unpackaging.
When I first opened the coffee, OMG the aroma! There was this hint of cocoa, that wafted out as soon as I peeled the seal back.

So if chocolate doesn’t excite you, we cant be friends. Lol
Just kidding.
Maybe

Back to the coffee, directions say one scoop with hot or cold water. Amount of water was a suggestion. I played with the amount of water until I felt it was perfect. I drink my coffee a little strong and black.

First good sip. ☕
Just the hint of chocolate, I think it was more the aroma, but your smell affects your taste buds. (Try a jelly bean while pinching your nose shut, no flavor til you let go). A little bit of useless information there.

A slight bitterness, but not so bitter I would stop sipping.
Now the creamer.
Upon opening the creamer, I have to smell it too, a cross between vanilla and coconut scent. Of course I stick my finger in to taste and it’s a bit sweet. I read the label, contains stevia. I am not a fan of fake sugars.
However, stevia is not one of the “unhealthy” versions.

I put a full scoop in my cup.
The bitterness disappears, it’s a much smoother sip.
And I was amazed it did not have that after taste most sweeteners have and did not make my coffee sweet! Winner there!

Even though is was late afternoon, I finished the cup. Lord help me and those around me.
Its the weekend, I can stay up late.

The “buzz” was a nice one. Nothing over the top, I didn’t go roof the house or redecorate a room. But I did have the energy that was promised.

I did have cocktails that evening, and a big dinner and it did not diminish the energy. I was up til midnight and made myself go to bed. This is late for me. As most of you know.

This morning I woke up at 6:30, no hangover, clear head. I felt good.
I made another cup this morning, this time adding my collagen powder.
This made the coffee smooth, no bitter taste.

It is now 10:40, At this point is has been 4 hours and I still have the energy, I may actually use this super power for good and not evil today.
I’ll update you on how long it lasts.

I just realized I haven’t eaten or had any growling tummy episodes.
Hmmmm, score number 2 for the appetite suppressant it promised.
The other part of Max is mood enhancer. Well, I am always in a good mood, so not sure how to measure this. Unless I run and kiss the neighbors or something later. 🤣🤣

If you want more info on it, please PM me.
I’ve decided since I like this so much, I am going to get into the business. Mainly for my own supply. 😁 but I share!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

BEHAVIOR

May 2020
Or level 5 of Jumanji
I wish coffee was the ultimate Powerball for the win.

This is not about what I think about covid -19. Corona virus, wuhan virus, the rona or this crap here. Whatever you are calling it.

It’s about our behavior.

We have had divisions in this country long before we were united.
Red, white.
North, South.
Black, white.
Left, right.
You get it. There are so many more.

The past few months there has been a division in this country where there should have been a united front.
Mask or no mask
Inside, outside

My rights, your rights….
Oh wait, that’s the same.
We share the same constitutional liberties.
My rights shouldn’t infringe on yours and the other way around.

Your opinion. My opinion
Neither is right or wrong.
It’s what we believe.
And we have the right to believe what we want.

I respect your opinion whether it’s the same as mine or not.
That’s the beauty of freedom.
I don’t have to!
I can disagree without punishment, fear of rejection, slander, or physical abuse.
Well. At least that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Opinions have been the biggest dividing factor in 2020 thus far.

We can’t seem to agree to disagree.
I’ve seen friendships end, family members fight, businesses close forever, jobs lost.
People demanding you think like them or you are a moron.

2020 has become a live video game where there is no clear cut winner except for those controlling the game.
And we only have one life.
But we can power up.

Stop fighting with those that disagree.
Remember, you are on the other side to them also and you are still a good person.
There is no right or wrong here.
The rules of this game are made up as we go along.
And real life doesn’t ever follow a playbook.

It would be so much easier to get through this with respect for each other.
A kind word, a nod of agreement or a shrug of disagreement and understanding.

We are a nation of many aspects.
No one is the same.
United we must be.
Respect choices.
Celebrate victories together.

We are our own worst enemy.

And remember…
United we stand
Divided we fall
