Caramel Apple Protein Smoothie

September 30, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to another Smoothie Monday!  Today’s smoothie was inspired by the beautiful Fall weather we have been having.  It’s been sunny, warm and with a slight breeze.  It’s just perfect!!   If it could stay like this all year round I’d be a happy camper.  I have been cooking up apple recipes this past Sunday and with the smell of cinnamon and apples in the air I couldn’t resist on making a smoothie made with a fresh, juicy, sweet apple.

Caramel Apple Protein Smoothie
This apple smoothie is simply perfect for starting off your morning or even having as a mid day snack. It’s made with fresh chopped apple, vanilla protein powder (Designer Whey brand), apple spice, cinnamon, coconut milk and caramel extract that I got from J.R. Watkins. Oh baby it’s like drinking a dessert. It’s creamy, smooth and has a slight taste of caramel with a nice hint of apple. it almost reminds me of caramelized apples with vanilla ice cream.
Caramel Apple Protein Smoothie
One thing to warn about this recipe is if you don’t like texture in your smoothie, I recommend peeling your apple first. I put the skin and all into the smoothie, but my Husband didn’t care for the skin. It doesn’t bother me. Also, if you don’t happen to have an apple on hand, I am betting unsweetened applesauce will work in a pinch. if you’re looking to really fill you up and go all out in the recipe, throw in some oatmeal and boy will this smoothie keep you full for hours.

If your feeling a tad naughty you can always add a dollop of whip cream to the top with a sprinkle of cinnamon. I am betting that would be good. But I honestly didn’t think of that til right now. Darn it and the smoothie is gone! Hmmm, that will have to be for next time!

      Keep your eyes open for caramel extract, I bought mine from JR Watkins. But I am sure specialty stores carry it.

      Hi Lori! I love caramel extract! It’s great to add a pinch to coffee or in your yogurt for a healthy treat. I used the brand JR Watkins, here’s the link. https://www.jrwatkins.com/products/49d47b04-a092-431c-889a-184cec15eef4/

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

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.

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.

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!!

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

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!
