Hey everyone! The Blizzard® Challenge will continue into 2011, but this year we will be trying each month’s Blizzard of the Month flavor, kicking off off with the January feature — Nutty Banana. You can vote on our blog poll for how many spoons you would give this Blizzard Flavor. And don’t forget to join the Blizzard Fan Club!
Last year I committed to joining a gym and to stopping using text messaging as my primary form of communication. I can proudly say that one of those two actually lasted! This year I’ve taken the plunge along with millions of other Americans to shed some pounds and become a healthier person. Boring, I know, but necessary nonetheless.
The odds are still against me. Statistics show that only 64% of people make it past the one month marker. And? I work at the DQ® corporate headquarters. I mean, who would pass up the chance to try new eats and treats? It wasn’t until I recently became calorie conscious that I realized DQ and Orange Julius® locations both offer a handful of tasty, calorie-conscious items. Below are a few of my favorites!
I love, LOVE the Orange Julius Light Smoothie,s and for the month of January and February you can get my absolute favorite flavor, Pineapple Berry Daylight™. It’s blended fresh with pineapple, strawberries and orange juice, and only has 120 calories in a 12 oz. size. It’s featured for a limited time, so enjoy it while you can! I would consider any of the other Light Smoothie flavors tasty snacks too.
One of my all-time favorite DQ treats, the DQ sandwich, has only 190 calories. Other lighter treat options include the Cherry StarKiss® bar at 80 calories and the No Sugar-Added Fudge Bars, which are only 50 calories each (but they taste like they have a lot more). And if I simply MUST have a Blizzard Treat, the new Mini Blizzard Treat lets me indulge in my favorite flavor without over-doing it.
Cheers to the new year and to hoping you stick to your goals as long as I stick to mine!

WOW! We absolutely delighted to hear how much everyone loves the Yule Flip Peppermint Chip and Candy Cane Chill Blizzard Treats we’ve offered in the past. AND we are so sorry to have disappointed all our peppermint fans! I know we’ve responded to several of you individually and on a few of the blog threads.
We want all of you to know that we hear you, loud and clear.
Right now we do have the Mint Oreo® Blizzard® treat available in stores (although we really do understand that it isn’t the same…) and have plans to feature a mint-flavored Blizzard of the Month in December 2011.

As a mom trying to buy Christmas gifts on a limited budget, for many years I was one of those crazy people who would get up at 4 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving to shop for Black Friday bargains. My kids are grown now, and the idea of standing in line in a dark, freezing-cold toy store parking lot to score a $5 Furby has lost most of its appeal. Lately I’ve switched my post-Thanksgiving shopping to online and never looked back. Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I can knock out my gift list from comfort of my own home (jammies optional).
Today, “Cyber Monday,” is the day when online shoppers like me get serious about ordering Christmas gifts. And while I always knew DQ® gift cards make can’t-miss gifts, for some reason I thought I had to visit a DQ location to buy them. It wasn’t until today, when our own Webmaster Jamie enlightened me, that learned I can order DQ gift cards online at DQ.com. I can choose an amount, choose a design, and even add a personalized message. And I can do it all without leaving the house.
Although… now that I think about it, if I order gift cards online, then I can’t get a Blizzard® Treat for myself while I’m there.
Excuse me, I need to go change out of my jammies now…
