Chocolate Milkshake / Giveaway

May 6, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 29 Comments

Hello and Happy Monday!

I thought today we would kick off the first Monday of May to be all about fitness and health!!  Sound boring?  It won’t be, I promise!  There is even a giveaway, dorky pictures of me and today’s Monday smoothie, which is so rich and chocolaty, you wouldn’t even know it’s healthy!!  It’s a win, win Monday!!!  So let’s get things rolling with today’s recipe!!  This is my Chocolate Protein Milkshake!

Chocolate Protein Milk Shake

I get asked a lot and I mean a lot, if I can make chocolate drinks.  I do, but I’m asked for more chocolate!  So I came up with this simple concoction of greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, milk and cocoa powder.  This my friends is pure chocolate bliss!!  It’s thick, creamy and you don’t even notice there is protein powder in it!  I love that!!!  Plus what I love more is that it is healthy for you and makes a great post workout smoothie!  Yes chocolate after a workout is so good for you!  Great for the bones, muscle recovery and heck, it’s great just drinking it, for no other reason then it tastes darn good!!

Now for the torture!  I thought I would create a fun, quick, not boring 25 minute workout.  When I was in Monterey last month, I did this workout in my hotel room.  It’s great because you don’t need any equipment and you’re getting a full body workout.  Plus it goes fast and I’m all about getting it done quick!!  I find the exercises are pretty easy, except for the burpees and when your done you feel great, plus I burned about 200 calories doing it!  Be sure to warm up before hand and stretch afterwards.  Oh and feel free to repeat the circuit or some of the exercises.  No rules!  It’s just all about having fun and getting fit!  Once your done, pat yourself on the back and go have the Chocolate Protein Milkshake!  🙂

No Equipment needed Workout

Now time for dorky pictures of me.  These pictures make me realize that I am so happy I have a hair appointment tomorrow!  Ugh, my roots are showing, plain nasty!!  Plus I need some serious color!  lol  Anyway, why am I showing you pictures of me?  Because I got a new workout tank top that I just LOVE!!!!

Albion Fit

Talk about  a dork!  Anyway, I got this new Uline Tank top from Albion Fit and it’s so pretty.  I just love the style of it and especially the round neckline.  It doesn’t even look like a workout tank top to me.  I feel I could almost wear it with a black pencil skirt.  The fabric is also thick and very well made.  Here is the backside.  Don’t mind my tan marks.

I’m in desperate need of some new exercise clothes so perfect timing! LOVE the no equipment workout too, those are my favorite.

Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bus Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bush 🦋🌸

This compact butterfly bush packs a lot of benefits into a smaller plant! It produces beautiful lilac scented blooms, attracts pollinators, has a long blooming season, and adds gorgeous color to the garden without taking up a ton of space.

If you’re looking for a pollinator-friendly plant that works beautifully in a sun to part-sun garden, the Pugster® Butterfly Bush is definitely one to consider! 🌿🦋

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾 S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I created Sully’s Garden to keep his memory alive—to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. 🌿💙

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. 🌈🐾

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. ❤️

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋
