Vanilla Cream Protein Shake

August 13, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Since I didn’t have smoothie Monday, I thought I would make it Smoothie Tuesday.  However there shouldn’t be a specific day for a smoothie, especially healthy ones!  Today’s smoothie takes after one of my favorite, that I don’t order drinks, the Vanilla Cream Frappe.  I love them, but with all of the calories and sugar I just don’t order them, ever!  So why not try to re-create a tasty drink with a healthy and even tastier drink that is guilt-free and will give you energy, plus it won’t hurt the waistline!

Vanilla Cream Protein Shake

I made this shake using Wallaby Vanilla flavored Kefir, however, if you don’t have vanilla Kefir, vanilla yogurt will work too!! To thicken up my drink I also used one tablespoon of vanilla protein powder.  The brand I used is Designer Whey, I buy it at Trader Joe’s, but I do know that vitamin stores like GNC and Vitamin World carry it.  Honestly I am not the biggest protein drink person, so I only used a little to give me a nice vanilla taste. I really try to like protein shakes, but for some reason they are not my thing, but I still drink them.

Vanilla Cream Protein Shake


This drink is creamy, smooth and tastes just like vanilla milkshake, just not as thick.  It’s a fabulous drink that is perfect for having after a workout, for breakfast or anytime where your craving a sweet drink.  Vanilla is one of my favorite flavors, I even like it over chocolate, which sounds kind of odd even coming from me, but it’s true!

    This smoothie looks great. Personally, I would add a whole scoop of the protein powder, because I need higher levels of protein. I was just introduced to smoothies and protein powder about two years ago and I just love them. I also use Designer Whey in flavors sweetened with Stevia. Of all the protein powders I’ve tried, it is by far the best tasting. It is also available at The Vitamin Shoppe.

    It’s always good to have some ideas to help make the protein shake taste better. I’ll have to try it this way!

      Yah, I know protein shakes are healthy for you, but I have to change them up because a plain protein shakes do not taste very good to me.

    I love a good protein shake, but I don’t make them very often. I need to get some protein powder so I can have these after workouts!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
