Tug-of-war. Remember that activity from grade-school field day?
The one where 3 – 4 people are on either side of a thick, long rope… Sporting their team’s specific color… Yanking on it as hard as they can so as to pull each other’s team over the centerline.
GO GREEN TEAM!
Well, raise your hand (or I guess, comment below) if you’ve been playing this “game” with your feelings and emotions since quarantine started.
I won’t lie to you… While my life hasn’t changed all that much since being told to stay-at-home, I have to say I am SO READY to SHAKE things up.
But wait… Er, um, I also really just want to simplify life and chill in the pool.
Huh?
Okay tug-of-war, you’ve had your “fun” but NOPE… I am so done with YOU because… I recently figured out a way to get the best of both worlds (shaking it up, but also chilling out)… And I am pretty stoked about it because the rope burn is awful.
Sure, my discovery may seem like a no-brainer (you know, a “why didn’t I think about that?” idea) but during these stay-at-home times, I’m here to point out the obvious because I am sure your brain is full of 45,000 other thoughts!
Okay, so what is this “child’s play” idea… Well, I decided to do was take chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry Atkins SHAKES (you can get them on Amazon.com)… Pour each flavor into popsicle molds… Add some diced up fruit and/or sugar-free chocolate… And then let them CHILL.
VOILA! I shook things up… While also chilling things out!
No need to applaud my genuineness. I know, I know.
But in all seriousness, have you ever thought to do something like this? It’s so simple, yet also so brilliant. And using Atkins Shakes (there are far more flavors than just chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry by the way) only makes these popsicles that much better because they’re free of added sugar, full of fiber, and insanely satiating thanks to the 15 grams of protein per bottle!
Here’s What You Need To Create This Geniusness Yourself!
- Atkins Shakes (in any flavor you’d like)
- Strawberries, Bananas, Pineapple Hunks, Apple Pieces, Berries, Coconut Flakes, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips, etc. (optional)
- Popsicle Molds
- Your Freezer
SO TELL ME…
