Debloating Smoothie

December 2, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Did you stuff yourself this past weekend?  Did you eat lots of leftovers?  Did you consume too many glasses of wine?  A few too many slivers of pumpkin pie?  How about a pinch of this a pinch of that and next thing you know you completely stuffed yourself  and you feel like the Thanksgiving turkey.  Well don’t worry we all do that and trust me I know, actually I know to well!   🙂  So today I created a smoothie for you that will help cure the Monday Belly Blues.
Debloating Smoothie
This smoothie has everything to help you get a flat belly. Now don’t just drink this and think you’re bloating will go away, their are other things you need to do too, here are a few things that you shouldn’t do if your bloated!

  • Don’t Chew Gum
  • Don’t Drink from a Straw
  • Don’t add salt to food
  • Don’t Drink or consume too much Dairy, such as Cheese, Milk & Ice Cream (1 cup of milk is enough)
  • Limit the use of Sugar Substitutes and Sugar Alcohol
  • Don’t Drink Bubbly Drinks including soda or carbonated water
  • Don’t eat to many carbs in the evening
  • Don’t eat Beans (we all know what beans do)
  • Don’t eat Cabbage, Broccoli, Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms, and Artichokes

Debloating Smoothie
So what does my magically smoothie contain to make it debloat you? Just a few simple ingredients! Banana, Strawberries, Pineapple, Spinach and Coconut Milk. That’s it!!! It’s naturally sweet, thick and you DO NOT taste the spinach. I gave it to my Husband and the smoothie scared him. I said just try it and he was pleasantly surprised on how good it is.  Here is what all of the ingredients do for you.

  • Banana – It provides potassium and regulates and can help regulate your body’s sodium levels.
  • Strawberries  – Provides fiber and can help promote digestion and fight bloating. Strawberries are also high in vitamin C.
  • Pineapple – It boasts a high-water concentration that will help to flush excess fluids from your system. They also contain enzymes that help you better digest protein.
  • Spinach – Provides fiber intake can help prevent and combat bloating, plus it helps you get  clearer skin, improved immune system and more.  It’s not a Super Food without good reason.
  • Coconut Milk – it’s a natural diuretic, provides potassium and electrolytes.

Here are a few things you can do if you do feel bloated or um, a little gassy

    • Move around, yes we don’t like to move when were bloated, but the movement moves the gas right out of you.
    • Drink lots of water!  Water will get rid of the sodium, fill you up and it’s just good for you!
    • Eat oatmeal or quinoa!  These are two carbs that will provide fiber, releases slow sugar to help lower your glycemic index.
    • Eat high potassium foods like bananas, nuts, tomatoes, spinach and asparagus.
    • Drink peppermint or chamomile tea, they both sooth a stomach.
    • Drink water with a lemon, this will naturally detoxify your kidneys.  I drink this every morning before my coffee.

Well I hope today’s smoothie helps you feel good! Whether you have bloat or looking for a good smoothie to help kick-start your Monday, this is one that will do it for you!  Now this week, if you make everything I am going to share with you, you will definitely need this smoothie!  I have lots of goodies that I made over Thanksgiving break and I can’t wait to share them with you!


Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weekend I got and e-mail from a student named Brian who is in his first year of Graphic Design and he is currently involved in designing a magazine cover for his final in his Photoshop class.  Brian asked me if  it would be ok if he used my picture of my Roasted Squash and Mexican Black Bean Salad for his final.  I was so flattered that he asked me.  This is one of those blogging moments, when you realize you love what you do!  I told him of course you can use the photo as long as you send me a picture of the cover.  I thought Brian did a beautiful job and I wanted to share it with you.  Don’t you think he did a great job?

    Haha, I gave my husband a green smoothie a few weeks ago, and was met with the same scared reaction. But he agreed – you can’t taste the spinach! It’s magic!

    Do you have to use coconut milk? Can you use almond milk instead? I love green smoothies and you absolutely can not taste the spinich. Even if you could, spinich is good!!!

      Hi Patti! Of course you can use almond milk! Almond Milk is very good for and as a bonus it’s low in calorie! I love spinach too and it’s wonderful that you don’t taste it! My Husband had no clue and he thought the green color was from pistachios, lol! Enjoy the smoothie, it’s one of my favorites!! 🙂

      Coconut milk from a can has more calories, plus it is greasy. You have to use the coconut milk from the carton. Trust me on this one. 🙂

      Hi Janna, Using coconut milk from a can is higher calories and it will make the smoothie very greasy and undrinkable. Use coconut milk from a carton. It’s 50 calories a cup. It’s located in with the almond milk and soy milk in the grocery store, normally the cereal isle. I hope this helps.

    Really started to get back into health and fitness about two months ago. I struggle to get as many greens in my diet as I need as I’m not a massive fan of vegetable in general. This smoothie was amazing, it doesn’t taste green at all! Thanks so much Jennifer will definitely be trying more recipes out!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
