How your mornings start can usually tell you a lot about how the rest of your day will be. What’s your morning like? Do you stumble in a zombie-like state to your Keurig® machine for that delicious cup of coffee or tea? Is your morning filled with chaos, as you struggle to get breakfast on the table for the kids? Or do you sit down at your desk to work only to find it hard to get motivated? If you can say yes to any of these questions, you are probably in need of a little “me time” in the morning.
With all that we have going on, a lot of moms wonder how we can possibly have “me time.” You might not even think should have “me time,” but it’s definitely something we all need and deserve. It’s also not that hard to fit this time in to your day. Whether you’re a stay at home mom or you work outside the home, just wake up earlier, so you may have 15 or 20 minutes to yourself before you have to deal with anything stressful. Or if waking up earlier is not your thing, plan another time fairly early in the day. It could be right after your kids are off to school, or if your children are home, it can be while they are watching television or doing another activity that does not require constant supervision. And if you work outside the home, perhaps you can find some quiet time before you start working.
One way you can get your day off to a great start is with a nice cup of tea. Here in the South we are known for drinking ice-cold sweet tea, but when you’re trying to get a jumpstart on your day, a hot tea beverage that’s full of flavor is a better choice! TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pods are made from milk, tea leaves and spices. If you aren’t familiar with chai, it is a black tea that has been used in India for 5000 years. TAZO® chai lattes are a creamy, sweet meets spicy blend of this black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and vanilla flavor.
TAZO® Chai Lattes allow you to experience a world of flavor without ever leaving your home, because you can brew them up in minutes using your Keurig®. When you purchase the product, you will find a pouch labeled “step 1” and a K-Cup® pod labeled “step 2.” The step 1 pouch contains a sweetened dairy blend. Simply pour this mixture in to your cup. Then place the K-Cup® pod into the machine, and pour about 8 ounces of water in the machine. Then turn on your machine and voila, your cup quickly fills with chai tea, which you can then stir until you have a cup of creamy goodness!
New York Times Bestselling author and host Padma Lakshmi has always known tea and chai, as they are an important part of her family heritage, so TAZO® has partnered with her to introduce the new TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pods. To make the drink even more enjoyable Padma has developed several recipes that pair well with the TAZO® Chai Latte.
Whether I need a moment to relax and ease in to my day, or I’m hoping to recharge and get focused for work, these chai lattes definitely do the trick!
Other activities that I enjoy and recommend for you to do during your “me time” include reading, creative writing or journaling, reviewing your day planner, playing a quick game on your phone, or simply enjoying a few minutes of television.
