Neapolitan Smoothie

April 8, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone Happy Monday!

Today I have for you a fun smoothie that tastes just like Neapolitan Ice Cream!   Yes, please!  The best part is besides the yummy flavor is it’s healthy, low in calories and pretty easy to make!  Just forgive the photos, it was a bad time of the day to make it!

Neapolitan  Smoothie

The hardest part of making the smoothie was making sure you had two reserved glasses so you can make the layers, however it’s not really necessary, if you don’t mind the layers in a different order.  I started the bottom layer with chocolate flavor, than strawberry and then topped it with vanilla.  It’s creamy smooth and hits the spot.

Neopolitan Smoothie


I started my smoothie with a vanilla base, by adding milk, vanilla protein powder and vanilla extract, gave a blend and poured half of it into a reserved a glass.  Then I added my strawberries and a pinch of sugar into the remaining vanilla mix and processed it until creamy smooth.  Added half of that mixture into another glass.  The final layer is the chocolate, which I added a pinch of water and cocoa powder to the remaining strawberry portion in the blender and processed until smooth.

Neopolitan Smoothie

I poured the chocolate into the bottom of the glass, topped with the strawberries and then vanilla.  Turned out perfect.  I did have a pinch of vanilla left over and I mixed it in once I drank up some of my smoothie.  So good!!  The whole recipe for the smoothie comes in at 148 calories and makes approximately 4 cups.  You could also share the smoothie, but I didn’t!  I can get a little greedy when it comes to something so good!

Neopolitian Smoothie

Since I was away last week in Monterey for work, I thought I would share to pictures from you that I snapped from the balcony of my hotel room.  I didn’t get to venture out in Monterey, but at least I got to see some wild life.  This picture is of a Sea Otter.  He is on his back, swimming in the Bay.

Sea Otter

This is a Seal I saw.  You heard them everywhere for days, but I finally saw one passing by the hotel.  I was so getty and excited!

Seal

I got really excited when I saw this Seal swimming near the shore.  Snapped on picture and he swam off super fast!

Seal - Monterey, CA

Well my Friends, time to go!  Lots to do on this Sunday, mainly chores and to cook up some recipes for you this week!

Have a wonderful week!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
