Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie and Las Vegas

June 11, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I just got back from a mini vacation to Las Vegas.  We went there to go to the Sammy Hagar and Emeril Lagasse Tikki BBQ Party held at the pool in the Venetian Casino.  We had a blast!  If you follow me in Instagram you would have seen some of the pictures.  I have to say the iPhone takes some great photos and videos, so I am going to share a few with you.

Sammy Hagar Sining at the Venetian

From what I have read, Sammy and Emeril are friends and they throw these kind of parties a few times a year.  I was pretty lucky we got tickets since it was a sold out event and only 1300 people were there.  Their was lots of food and boos’s but I skipped on them, since we ate prior to the show and it was so hot out, the thought of drinking would have put me over the edge!   It was a blazing 112 degrees, I wish I brought my bathing suit to the party, since people were swimming in the pool.  How cool is that to see a concert while lounging in the pool.  This was one of the most fun events I have been too.   I wanted to meet Emeril, but I didn’t get a chance, no one met him.  He was surrounded by his body guards, but he did see me.  lol  He was standing on the side of the stage watching Sammy sing and we caught eye contact.  I think my Husband was excited to see Emeril too, since he ran in the house and asked how to spell his name, he was texting his friend.  Here’s a shot I got of him.

Emeril Lagasse


Emeril did make it to the stage, he played the tambourine with Sammy.  Emeril can rock!  It made me laugh to see him like that.  Sammy said he hung out with Emeril the night before the concert and he said Emeril really knows how to party.   I find it odd that Emeril and Sammy are friends, but I think it’s cute!  I got pictures of Emeril on stage, but they turned out to be a white blob, so it wasn’t worth showing you.  I have to say Sammy seems like a down to earth person, he was funny, sang great songs and he looks great for his age!  We are hoping they have this event again next year because we had so much fun!

Sammy Hagar singing at the Veneitan Las Vegas

I did take a video of one of the songs Sammy Sang, here it is for you.  Sorry it’s not the clearest video, but it’s the only video plug-in that I could find that worked.  Enjoy….

Venetian Tiki Party

Well, I bet your ready for today’s recipe.  When I was away the one thing I missed was my peanut butter and I had the worse craving for a Chocolate Banana and PB smoothie, so I whipped one together to satisfy my sweet craving.  Actually you would be proud, while I was in Vegas, I didn’t eat any sweets, except for a few samples from the buffet, but other than that, I was really good!

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

As you can tell by the smoothie name, it’s made with a frozen banana, PB2, cocoa powder and milk.  It’s so good and creamy, thick and sweet.  I simply love this smoothie and if you like chocolate and peanut butter together, I bet you will like it too!

    Great looking smoothie and that concert sounds so fun (hot and scorching!) but so fun! I love summer concerts, being outside and just living it up! Woot! I remember your last Vegas recap – seems like just a minute ago. Time flies!

    I’ve made this twice now, even though I am not a fan of either bananas or peanut butter. But this is fabulous! The first time I used real peanut butter, this time I used PB2. The latter is easier to measure out. I did add a scoop of chocolate protein powder (Designer Whey Double Dark Chocolate) to raise the protein levels to where I wanted them. The amazing that with the protein powder, the shake does not need any sweetener. Even my husband with the significant sweet tooth was happy with it without sugar. This smoothie will be a regular in our breakfast lineup. Thank you for posting this recipe. It’s a great way to start the day with a smile. 🙂

      I love Designer Whey protein powder, I use that kind too, plus they have a white chocolate mocha that I like too! So glad you like the smoothie!!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
