Orange Julius ~ Yummy in the Tummy!

It's time for throwback Thursday!  This week it's Orange Julius.  When I was a kid and went to the mall that's the snack I wanted.  I thought those things were the best and still do!  There are still a few around here and there but not like back in the day.  Although, after looking it up on the internet you can actually get the real thing at Dairy Queen these days. Check it out HERE for your nearest Orange Julius fix!   Great, we have one going in just a few miles from us!  The point I was going to make was that I recently signed up and started supplementing Herbal Life Shakes as meals/snacks.  The one I found I like the best is the Orange Creme flavored one as it reminds me of Orange Julius except that it is alot healthier and has protein to boot in it.  As you all know summer is quickly approaching.  Summer School just got out so that means it's the start of summer with the kids being home.  The first day of summer according to the calendar is June 20, 2024.  LET'S GET READY FOR SUMMER if you haven't already.  

I'm going to do a 3 day challenge and have the shake for 2 of my meals each day.  Then for supper I'll have a 1 protein, 1 fruit, 1 veggie and 1 carb.  If I'm hungry in between shakes I can have 1 healthy snack.  Let me know if you want more information.

Shake it up!

MEAL REPLACEMENT LINK

Wowzers, there are so many different kinds of Shakes and Meal Replacement Shakes.   Not all are meal replacement.  Some are just good to take after a workout and some are better to drink after your workout.  There's lots of different flavor, brands and types (Keto, Protein, etc.)  I don't have any certain brand of shake I'm currently drinking.  Below is just a sampling of shaker cups at different price ranges and style.

Below you will see just a small sampling of different shake and flavors etc.  They sky  is the limit.  Do your research on what the protein content is if that's what your striving for.   Or start with the flavor and go from there.  You just have to start with one and try it to make sure you like it first.  If not, then try another as they all taste so differently.

            We currently have Equate Chocolate Whey Protein from Wal-Mart and it's nothing                to brag about it.

Day #1 - 4 Lent Activities

This year for Lent our church passed out a similar but different chart to do from past years.   Normally, I don't get very far but this year it's set up differently and you can pick and choose from 80 different random acts of kindness or there are also 16 blank squares that you can make up your own act of kindness.  I decided that I would draw my daily act of kindness from an envelope/hat to see what I get to do each day.  I thought this would be a fun way to do something special each day for the 40 days of lent.  

Here's are the slips of paper I drew out of the envelope for the first 4 days so far.  

Day #1 ~ Learn how to say HELLO in a different language!  I went above and beyond and decided to learn several different languages to say HELLO to people on this day.   They were:

• Spanish  - Hola
• German - Hallo
• French - Bonjour
• Hawaiian - Aloha

Day #2 ~  Donate a bag or box of clothes!

I packed this box full of 28 pairs of boys and girls jeans and stretch pants.





Day #3 ~ Leave a thank you for your mail carrier!  I've always wanted to do this at Christmas time for our mailman but never have, so I'm doing it NOW.    Of  course, I searched online for different ideas and here's what I found:

• M&M's - Thanks for driving Miles & Miles each day! Put this note with a bag of M&M's.  Super cute idea.  I pinned this to my Pinterest page a long time ago, so this is the one I choose to do.  Check it out HERE.
• COOKIES!!!  Give your mailman a box of Girl Scout Cookies during cookie season,  Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies or any type of cookies you wish with a thank you note.  Check it out HERE.
• GUM - Thanks for always going the extra mile! Check it out HERE.  I like this one a lot too!
• COFFEE - Thanks a Latte for all that you do!  Break time, go get some coffee.  Check it out HERE.

Day #4 - Do a 5K for a good cause! 

 
I didn't draw this one, I put this one on day #4 because I had already signed up to do a 5K through the preschool/church I work at.  We did a run that our home town hospital was putting on. The proceeds went to the Hospital Foundation to help families in need. What a great way to help others!

Didn't get this completed and sent our on time but here a few that I liked.
