After crusin’ through my morning to-do list, I broke for a lunch that included a big salad topped with the same kind of veggie burger I tried and loved yesterday, along with chopped carrot and celery slices.
Big Ol' Salad
All dressed up in an Asian sesame dressing (added after the picture was snapped)!
Though I’m generally the kind of girl who will pick a sandwich over a salad, there’s something wonderful about the way I feel after I eat a ginormous veggie-packed salad.
I ride the veggie high all day long afterward!
I also sipped on a tumbler of hot tea at lunch.
Tea for Me
I used a tea bag from my own stash, but tomorrow I’ll be sippin’ on some tea from Starbucks… for FREE!
Have you heard that Starbucks is offering free coffee or tea to anyone who brings in a reusable tumbler tomorrow in honor of Earth Day? I’m so there!
Question of the Afternoon
- Do you prefer coffee or tea? Or neither? What is your favorite hot beverage to order?
I like both coffee and tea, though hot chocolate will always be my favorite hot beverage. Extra whipped cream, please. 😉

Yum – I love hot green tea, but my new favorite drink is Starbuck’s grande skinny vanilla latte. Fabulous!
Your tumbler is super cute & girly! Love it! 🙂
I’m definitely a coffee girl. Tea just doesn’t it cut it for me. The one exception may be chai tea. That stuff is so tasty!!
ohh thanks for the heads up on starbucks I am def getting some free coffee tomorrow!
I love veggie burger salads, twice the veggies, double the deliciousness!
good luck with all of your work! 🙂
Tea for sure!! I love the taste of coffee, but it really upsets my stomach. Good thing, too, because there are way more fun flavors of tea 🙂
Same with me!!! Coffee is really effective on gearing me up, but it leaves my tummy in knots. No bueno.
NICE! i wonder if they’re doing that offer in the UK?!.. shall investigate! i must say im neither!… i hate hot drinks.. i always burn my tongue—-!
I am a total coffee drinker! I will occasionally drink tea but if I have the choice, I will most definitely pick coffee! I love getting a soy misto with sugar-free vanilla syrup from Starbucks! That is my favorite hot drink 🙂
I get this same drink 🙂 It’s my less guilty version of a regular soy latte haha
I love the veggie high too – on that note, I’m going to grab my packed salad for lunch! 🙂
I’m a coffee and tea drinker – it just depends on the time of day or the season!
Coffee please! With cream only. 🙂 I can’t stomach tea and the after taste. Good to know about Starbucks! I’ll be hitting my local one up fo sho!
Haaaa i LOVE that you said you drink hot chocolate!! I also drink hot chocolate year round, and just bought a new box the other week! Ryan thinks I’m crazy for it, but i find it so satisfying! But as for coffee or tea… i prefer tea, for sure. Coffee tends to really dehydrate me and upset my stomach. Bleh!
Oh man, tea fo’ sho’. I can’t do coffee. I’ve tried, but blech. I hate the grittiness of coffee. I’ve managed to down a mocha or two in my day, but I’ve never found a drink that manages to cover up the coffee ick enough. I’ll stick to coffee flavored things–coffee ice cream, anyone?!
I used to be a hot chocolate person all the way, but I just can’t justify paying extra to drink more sugar and calories when I can get one of the cheapest things on the menu (tea) with 0 everything. Alas, the troubles of being a poor college student 😉
I prefer coffee but lately I find myself ordering iced green tea when I go to Starbucks. Delicious and refreshing. Looks like I’m going to head over to Starbucks tomorrow to collect my freebie!
I love tea, mainly pumpkin spice tea, but I think I’m more of an espresso girl. I love me some lattes! But I’m cutting waaaay back because they’re too expensive for more than twice a week. So tea it is! 😀
you don’t have tomorrow off? it’s good friday! passion tea = my fav from starbucks!
I wish I liked tea! I’ll try it every once in awhile but it’s just not my thing. I love coffee though 🙂
I’m a total coffee junkie. I’ve never been much into tea but I love coffee
I like your tumbler! Well, I equally like coffee or tea (black or green) for breakfast. But I love to order a frappuccino (mocha, vanilla or strawberries and cream) when I go to Starbucks. I recently discovered chai tea latte which is actually delicious!!!
Thank you for the Starbucks heads up. That is a perfect way to end the work week!!
I drink black coffee every morning…might be a little bit addicted hehe:)
Yay for free tea!
Thanks for the tip! Somehow I missed the Starbucks memo, but I will definitely stop by with my reusable mug.
Had you asked this about 6 months ago, I’d have said coffee by a long shot. But since November, I’ve actually managed to not drink it!! I replaced my morning coffee with PhytoBerry, an antioxidant supplement by Progressive Nutrition that I blogged about a while back. It’s packed with antioxidants and is really energizing, so I don’t even feel the need for a morning cup of coffee to get me started now. I’ll drink tea – probably about 2 per day, but it’s usually the decaf herbal kind. I can’t resist Vanilla Rooibos at Starbucks!
I am newly addicted to coffee coffee coffee! But, I do love a good hot chocolate with tons of whipped cream too!!!
We don’t have a starbucks in our town!! Oh well, I’ll try not using the car for earth day! Your salad looks so yummy!
I love tea!!! I drink a *cold* glass of iced tea at work every day!
I soooo hear you. I need the weekend stat!
I like coffee and tea, although I drink tea more often. I really love hot cider — that is my favorite!
I’m with ya on the hot chocolate! It’s definitely my favorite. I’ve slowly come around to tea, but it is still not my favorite!
Give me coffee any day. I swear I’m addicted and I have no issues with it whatsoever.
You are so very lucky to see your family as often as you do. I unfortunately only get to see my parents once per year since they are so far away =(
Awesome! Thanks for telling us.. I will totally be over at Starbucks tomorrow! 🙂
I’m a coffee drinker! I usually drink three cups a day. WAYYY too much. I always admire how much tea you drink. So good for ya!
COFFEE 4 LYFE!! Can’t go a day without it. Thanks for the Starbucks tip, I will def be hitting that uup!
Thanks for the heads up about Starbucks! I’m so there!!
It’s all about the coffee for this gal…but I wouldn’t kick a good iced tea out of bed 😉
I love three of them, theres something about hot beverages warming my tummy that I enjoy 🙂
That is awesome about Starbucks– I will be there!
I’m antsy for dessert too … and i didn’t give it up for lent. hehe
I know what has got you antsy – dessert! 😉
And again – I am SO pumped to get to do the Savannah RNR. We are going to have so much fun!
oh my gosh, I KNOW!!!! i’m so glad you’re in for sure!!
I like to have a cup of coffee with my breakfast and I like earl gray tea with a little bit of steamed skim milk if I’m just going to hang around the coffee shop. I did not know that about Starbucks but I do now! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
ooh i like both coffee & tea. i just drink 1 cup of coffee per day though..and maybe tea at night. i love getting hot chai lattes at coffee shops though! yum!
wow thanks for the heads up! I will definitly be stoping at starbucks on my way home from the gym in the morning.
I will be getting a unsweetened shaken ice tea… so good.
I’m definitely a tea person!! I’m def there at Starbucks though, it’s on my calender!
Didn’t know that about Starbucks! Thanks for the tip 🙂
I love green tea! However – I do also enjoy my cup of coffee in the morning. It may not be the best thing for me.. but I love the taste so much!
I love both!! but I find myself drinking coffee more often b/c it helps me stay up 😛
I was antsy all day at work too!! I’m so thankful for the long weekend 🙂
I DID hear about the starbucks thing, and will definitely be stoppin’ by with my tumbler! so excited! If I had to choose, I’d say I’m a tea person..but I do like the occasional coffee as well!
coffee all the way!!!!
i love me some caramel macchiatos and vanilla lattes 🙂
caramel macchiatos are my FAVORITE! 😀
I’m coffee, no doubt about it! And thanks for the heads up about the tumbler…I’m SO there tomorrow! 🙂
Oh I do love me some tea!!
Hot choc is a delicious treat though… especially peanut butter hot chocolate! YUM!
Really depends on occasion.at home its teas,rarely coffee,but in coffee or friend house, who has a great machine with whipped milk, its coffee.
Black coffee, no flavor all the way. I love the taste of coffee. I don’t even think caffeine has an effect on me anymore except the headache I get without it.
ahh I had NO idea!!im gettin my butt over there tomorrow
