Sweet Cherry Smoothie

May 17, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hello my Friends,

Last week while I was a Panera Bread they were handing out smoothie samples, so I tried their Black Cherry Smoothie.  Oh boy I thought, why haven’t I made a cherry smoothie before?  You know me, once I get an idea in my head I can’t stop myself until I just do it!  So guess what?  I did it!!!

Oh baby, did I do it!  This is a creamy, sweet wonderfully delicious cherry smoothie.  I can’t believe I didn’t create this before.  I think it’s always because I have strawberries on the brain that I tend to forget the other fruit.  This is perfect because cherry season is right around the corner and this would be out of this world with fresh cherries!  I used frozen ones in this drink, but hoping the next one will be with fresh.  By the way I bought my frozen cherries from Target.  They have a wide assortment of frozen fruit.  I sound like an advertisement don’t I?


Last year my Husband and I went cherry picking. That was so much fun.  I ate so many cherries it’s unbelievable.  Nothing like picking and eating.  No I’m not talking about your nose either. Get your mind out of the gutter, thats just gross.  🙂  Anyway, we picked so many cherries, I think it cost us like $30 or $40.  Yah we went overboard.  I bought one of those cherry pitters from Cost Plus and wow does that work like a charm.  I highly recommend one.  I believe it was from OXO.  I pitted pounds of cherries and froze them, made jam with others and of course just ate them plain.  I just love a sweet cherry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So what fruit do you look forward to when there in season?  For me, I love all fruit, but my favorite are berries of course and then apples.  But I also love peaches too!  I want to think peach season should be coming up soon!  Woohoo!  I love this time of year!!!

You know I have to compare my stats with Panera Breads Cherry Smoothie.  I will tell you there’s tastes different from mine.  From what I recall it had a slight orange taste to it and it was a lot sweeter.  So it’s not a copycat recipe.  This is just to get a general  idea what is out there compared to what you can make at home.

Panera Bread Low Fat Black Cherry Smoothie (16.5 oz):  Calories:  290,  Fat:  1.5,  Cholesterol:  .05,  Sodium:  90,  Carbs:  63,  Fiber:   2,  Sugar:  53,  Protein:  6

My Cherry Smoothie: Calories (16oz):  200,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  2.5,  Sodium:  100,   Carbs:  39,  Fiber:  4,  Sugar:  28,  Protein:  16

Wow, look at the carbs, sugar and protein difference!  Crazy isn’t it?  It’s terrible that restaurants claim healthy, when it’s really not!

Well my friends thats another edition of lets compare ours to there’s!  🙂

Time for me to go to bed!  I am out of here!  😉

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I love every kind of fruit but cherries are on the top of the list for me! This is so pretty and with 16 grams of protein, it would keep me going all day!

      I never thought of using a cherry pitter for olives, great idea!! My Husband thought it was a waste to by a pitter, until we ended up buying a few pounds last year! Great tool!!

    I LOVE cherries and would put them in absolutely everything. I have got to get a cherry pitter, though. This looks phenomenal. And yes … you wonder what they put in the smoothie to add so much sugar. Making at home is so much more healthy!

      I didn’t know either, and oddly enough I never thought of a cherry smoothie until I had there’s.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol
👻
Also, the pillow and the Halloween sign on the side of the door is also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
