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.

    How fun!! I have never done a mud race before, but it is on my “to-do” list 😀 Thankfully it has cooled down a little in the city today! Phew! Gorgeous smoothie!!

      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! 🙂

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!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?
