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.
Caramel Apple Protein Smoothie
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/

Hello, hello! Hope you are having a good week. Onl Hello, hello! Hope you are having a good week. Only two more days to go till the weekend. Woohoo!
🌸
I want to share with you my new Worlds Largest Colossal Down Alternative Blanket from @downlitebedding.  Oh my gosh, I am in love! I have such a tall bed that the blanket hangs so beautifully over the sides. Plus your significant other can grab as much of the blanket as they like because there is plenty to share. This blanket is also known as the “The Marriage Saver”.
🌸
I’ve been sleeping with a light blanket over me because I get so hot, but sometimes I wake up so cold. I was afraid that Colossal Size Alternative Blanket would be to hot, but it wasn’t. I’ve had the perfect night sleep. I’m shocked I don’t wake up hot. It’s so perfect. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the blanket.
🌸
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20.
🌸
Do you get hot or cold when you sleep?

Happy Wednesday! I have had a lot of DM’s recent Happy Wednesday! I have had a lot of DM’s recently asking if Woody, the woodpecker is still going to his nesting box every night. Yes he is! I watch for him everyday. He comes at dusk. I can tell the days are getting longer. He used to come at 4:20 and now it’s 5:52pm. Yes I check the clock. I’m weird that way. So Woody has been with us since January 8th. My husband and I sit outside on the weekends together waiting for him to go to bed. Is this what happens when you get older?
🐦
I updated my bench for Spring. I’m really loving yellow. I’m glad I went with that color for Spring. The yellow goes perfect with my new reversible spring pillow that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. The pillow has the most adorable black pom poms on it and where the flower is it has a secret pocket. I love the secret pocket.
🌷
The pillow would be so cute to give as a gift. You could put a card in the secret pocket. The other side of the pillow is black with white polka dots with an egg on it that says “be happy”. So adorable.
🌷
The reversible spring pillow is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.  Plus you can use my discount code for an additional 10% off:  PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
If you could be any animal for 1 day, what would it be?

Hello Tuesday! We’ve had some nice weather this Hello Tuesday!  We’ve had some nice weather this week. It must have hit 70 yesterday. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Next week it’s supposed to back in the 50’s with chance of rain. Well at least I won’t have to worry about watering my garden.
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my Easter tablescapes. I wanted to go simple. I feel when there’s too much on the table, you have a hard time seeing the people across from you. Plus my table is only 5’ long, so I don’t have a lot of space.
🐰
I’m loving the blues and greens. It’s such a pretty color for Spring. I had a whole blue tablescape idea in my mind, but I’m having problems finding pieces that I like. I sure miss Pier1. That was my go to place for table setting decor.
🐰
What are your favorite colors for Spring?

Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Spring and 14 more days until daylight savings. Oh the pure signs of warm weather and sunshine are coming.
🌸
I sure had a busy weekend. We had 5 yards of top soil delivered and my husband wheel barreled it all to the backyard. My new garden bed is just about ready for planting. I’m so excited!
🌸
Yesterday I worked on a bunch of photos to share this week. I must have formatted over a 100 pictures. No, I won’t be sharing that many. It’s just hard to find the right one. I’m sure you know what I mean.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos for the month of February.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for March, because I have no idea. Lol
🌸
What are you looking most forward to this month?

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?
