Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie

March 5, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have been on such a smoothie kick lately.  I have had one just about everyday!  I think it is the nice weather we are finally having that it  has given me a little bit of spring fever.  Plus having smoothies have tie me over between lunch and dinner.  It keeps me from mindless snacking!

Mixed Berry Smoothie

A creamy,thick healthy smoothie made with berries, banana and Cranberry Juice.

I teamed up with Ocean Spray on today’s smoothie, and they asked me to make their Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie.  So I followed their recipe and whipped this wonderful, creamy, sweet smoothie together in a matter of minutes.  I was very excited to try the smoothie, since  you already know how much I love Ocean Spray’s Diet Cranberry juice, from my past recipe for my Cranberry Christmas Smoothie.

Christmas Cranberry Smoothie

I always keep a bottle of Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice in my refrigerator.   It’s tangy with a hint of sweetness and only 5 calories for 1 cup!!  It really quenches my thirst when I want something rather than water.   Today’s smoothie is a wonderful blend of Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice, berry greek yogurt, frozen banana and mixed frozen berries.  I love it and it was perfect for after my morning workout!!

I asked my Husband to take a taste of the smoothie and he loved it!  I had to make him one too!  Matter in fact I made a batch of these smoothies and froze them in a freezer bag.  I plan on taking them to work and having one as my mid morning snack.  This will give me something to look forward too!!  Do you ever freeze your smoothies?  It’s so easy!  Just make the smoothie, place in a freezer bag and freeze.  Take it out a couple of hours before you have it and place in the refrigerator   In a couple of hours it is just like you just made it!!

I’m looking forward to making more smoothies with my Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice.  Do you know they have other flavors besides cranberry?  They also have 8 other flavors, plus two sparkling Diet Cranberry Juices.  I didn’t know they had sparkling diet, until I just now saw it on their website.  Now I’m going to look for those next time I am at the store.

But as I think about it, I’m thinking the Cran-Lemonade will be perfect for summer and perfect for me right now!  That one is going on my grocery shopping list too.  I love the flavor of lemonade!  Yum!!!   That will make for an awesome smoothie, plus I have a recipe idea in mind with that one.  But you’ll have to wait for that!

    I love Ocean Spray’s new Diet line. I tried their cran-pomegranite and it’s delicious! It would be a great addition to a berry smoothie.

    This looks amazing….AND delicious! I love your simple tip of how to freeze extra for later. That is really handy! Saves so much on time. I can’t wait to try the grape smoothie…and switch up later with the rest! Thank you for sharing! (=

      I love freezing my smoothies and frappes. I figure if I’m making one, might as well make more for later, that way I won’t have to bring the blender out again. The grape smoothie sounds good!!

Happy Friday! It’s finally here! Woohoo! I thou Happy Friday! It’s finally here!  Woohoo! I thought I would end the week with some inspiration by sharing my friend Tina @my.farmhouse.fanatic.life.
❤️
I just love Tina. I’ve known her well over a year and she is truly a sweetheart. She’s a Wife, Mom, and has the cutest fur babies. Her style is Farmhouse with a touch of modern.
❤️
Tina and her husband just finished remodeling there kitchen and it is so dreamy. The wood vent hood over the stove is so gorgeous. Her coffee bar is one of my favorites with the cute awning. I want an awning.
❤️
I’m sharing with you my favorite space in her home, her sunroom. I just love the swing and that beautiful brick wall. The perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee or tea.
❤️
Tina is one to follow, be sure to check out her page. You won’t be disappointed. Have the most amazing weekend.

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

I’m sharing with you this cute tiered tray that I got from @dorothyjeandecor. It is the perfect size tiered tray. It’s sturdy, holds a lot and fits perfectly under my kitchen cabinets.
🌷
I decorated it with items that I use on a regular basis in my kitchen, plus pretty little items. Oh and that cute cement pear also came in the March decor box.

Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?
