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.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
