Skinny Cherry Milkshake

July 1, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday to you.  I don’t know where you live?   But I can tell you where I live, it is incredibly hot!  We have been in the 100’s and it looks like the heat is not going to let go for most of the week.  So with all of this hot weather, I can promise you, simple, light, and probably some no bake recipes this week.  I know when it gets this hot I have no energy to do anything and worse of all I’m behind on my blogging.  I normally have a least a few recipes in my back pocket, but this week I don’t have any.  I didn’t plan anything either, so this week will be as much of a surprise for you as it will be for me!  🙂  So let’s get to day’s recipe.

Skinny Cherry Milkshake

This is my Skinny Cherry Milkshake.  I got the idea to make this milk shake on Saturday, when my Friend Nicole and I went to Old Town Sacramento.  Everywhere I looked, everyone was eating ice cream cones and sipping milkshakes.  I couldn’t get it out of my mind!  First thing, after breakfast on Sunday, I whipped up this batch of Cherry Milkshakes for my Husband and I.  Ahhhh, my craving has been satisfied!  This drink, is thick, creamy and oh so sweet!  It’s simply delicious and my Husband drank almost the full batch!!   I guess he liked it too!

I used All Natural Cherry Juice that I picked up from Trader Joe’s and Breyers All Natural Vanilla Ice Cream.  Yes, I used real ice cream in my milkshake.  I needed the real stuff!  I have had this discussion before, but I think if your going to have something like ice cream, get the real stuff.  Read the ingredients, and if it’s cream, eggs, sugar  and milk, get it!  I don’t like the stuff that has a mile long ingredients list and I can’t pronounce half of it.  I’d rather go natural then go chemical.  One of the best things is that a half cup of ice cream is only 130 calories, which is not bad.  Not bad at all.  Love Trader Joe’s but there vanilla ice cream is around 220 calories for a half cup, way to much!  So read that nutritional label and ingredients list!

Skinny Cherry Milkshake

I had my Pretty Muddy big 5k race on Saturday and I completed it!  I have to tell you when my friend Nicole and I did the race it was HOT!!!  It was in the low 100’s when we did it!  We walked most of it, and so did everyone else.  Crazy heat, crazy!!!  The race was an obstacle course with different obstacles like going down a slide and landing in a pit of mud.  Running while carrying a log, crawling under ropes and then crawling under a wall in the mud!!  It was fun!!!!  This race is for everyone and from the pictures I am going to share with you, you will see all different kinds of people doing it.  I highly recommend gathering some friends and trying out the race.  You will have a blast, trust me!  Some of the race was challenging, but if you don’t feel you can do it, then you can walk around.  I did it all.  There was one obstacle called Social Networking and that was scary.  We had to climb a rope ladder that was about 25′ tall and then climb down.  It doesn’t sound to bad, but I was scared.  They didn’t have nets or anything to catch you if you fell, just the dry, dirty ground.  I managed it and I am proud I did it, but honestly I don’t want to do that obstacle again.  My friend said I was shaking.  My heart rate was threw the roof.  I almost started to panic and I talked myself out of it.  Eck!  But other than that, the rest was so fun!!  Check out the pictures and check out the race and see if there is one near you!   Oh and Nicole and I got to be models at the event for Old Navy and we got to keep the clothes.  That was pretty cool!!

      Thanks Joanne! It was hot, but I was excited to do it, so I think that is what pushed me through! But my Friends ended up with heat stroke.

    I’m not exactly sure where I would get cherry juice, so do you think if I were to blend up some actual cherries it could substitute for that?

      Hi Samantha! You can find cherry juice at Trader Joe’s or at the juice section of your grocery store, but I know fresh or frozen cherries will work out well too, you just may need to add a pinch more milk. Let me know if you how it turns out, if you make it.

      I wish the weather would cool here! It is so crazy hot!! I’m heading to the city on Saturday to go to my first major league game ever, Giants vs. Dodgers. I just hope the Bart is up and running. I can only imagine how congested it is in the city!

    This is a wonderful idea for a smoothie! I would probably use fresh or frozen cherries and vanilla protein powder in place of the ice cream – I need protein and just no longer have much desire to eat ice cream. I know. That’s weird.

    I’m glad you had a good time with your mud race. It’s something I’m not likely to try because I am not physically very adventurous beyond my recently acquired skills in scrambling around on big rocks. I’ll leave the mud races to you young ladies… 🙂

    I love this drink so much. it’s perfection. Me and my daughter are planning on doing a mud run next year, and a zombie run. Good incentive to get my butt in gear.

      You’ll have fun on the mud run! It’s so much fun! It’s one of the only times I like to get dirty! 🙂

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
