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’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
