Pumpkin Mocha Chai Tea & Holiday Drinks

November 3, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Sunday!  Did you notice the debut of Starbucks holiday drink collection on Friday?  Well that gave me the idea that I should create a new holiday drink and showcase last years drinks!  Today’s drink is not Christmas but more like Thanksgiving, but honestly darn good anytime of the year!  Lets get smaken and let me show you today’s drink, this is Pumpkin Mocha Chai Tea.

Pumpkin Mocha Chai Tea
So what does one do at 5am on a Saturday morning? Make drinks! Yup that’s what I did yesterday. My Husband looked at me like I was strange. He is like, what are you making now? I said Pumpkin Mocha Chai Tea! Want some? He said no, as he got his big cup of coffee and walked away. I am not a big tea drinker, though I love tea, but I tend to gravitate towards coffee, but this weekend I wanted a cozy glass of tea so I can dip my Almondina Pumpkin Spice biscuits in it. Plus this tea is not one to shy away from. It’s so good! You get nice hint of spice, with a wonderful balance of pumpkin flavor with a chocolate after taste. It’s simply amazing and would please any pumpkin or tea lover!
Pumpkin Mocha Chai Tea

This drink is not only easy to make too!  It makes two cups and the whole recipe it is only 69 calories and contains 5 grams of fiber! This will not only warm your belly, but it will keep you full! To make; I used Trader Joe’s Chai Tea, Silk Soy Milk, but any milk will work, pumpkin, stevia, cocoa powder and pumpkin extract. I mixed it all in a sauce pan and in a few minutes I had this wonderful little drink! Really, it’s just perfect for an evening drink or like me on a Saturday morning.

Holiday Drink Collection
Since I am all into the holiday season, well with food and drink that is, I thought it would be fun to share you my holiday drinks from the past. But don’t worry I have lots more holiday drinks up my sleeve and I can’t wait to make and share them with you!! Let me start you off with my favorite, favorite holiday drink and that is my Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappe. I love peppermint and to me Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without peppermint. I LOVE it!! That is my go to drink this time of year! Plus you can’t beat 45 calories!!  Oh and Trader Joe’s has peppermint extract in stock!  Pick some up next time you go!  I over stocked on it last year, so i have a ton leftover.

For all of you latte lovers I also made a Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte which is perfect for a chilly evening!  Another one of my favorites.

Another one of my favorites when I need cookies is the Skinny Gingerbread Frappe. This drink tastes just like gingerbread and with the hint of molasses, it really takes this frappe up another level.

Of course what would the holidays be like without eggnog? Honestly I’m not an eggnog person, but Little Jenny and my Husband are. I did see at the store this year that they make non-dairy eggnog for the vegans and dairy free lovers. Yah!   Here is my Eggnog Frappe.
Eggnog Frappe
Now your thinking, Jen, it’s cold out, show us some warm drinks! ok, ok, ok, hold your horses. Here is my Eggnog Latte! Perfect for serving on Christmas morning!

Of course since I am really still in Fall mode, I do have to share with you my pumpkin drinks. I just love pumpkin! It’s so healthy, delicious and such a versatile little fruit. Here is my Skinny Pumpkin Spice Frappe.

Of course not everyone likes coffee, so I thought I would make a creamy version of my Pumpkin Spice Frappe. This drink is one of Jenny’s favorites! It’s so darn good, I can see why! Here is the Pumpkin and Cream Frappe.
Pumpkin and Cream Frappe
Loving pumpkin! As you can tell I think pumpkin and chocolate go together nicely, so why not create a Pumpkin Mocha Spice Latte? I wonder how many pumpkin drinks I can come up with? Hmmmm, I guess we shall see.

Now for the kids! I didn’t forget you and what kid doesn’t like hot chocolate? Adults, you could add a pinch of rum into these drinks and zip it up for yourself!! Here is the ultimate, original Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate. This stuff is darn good! I served this on Christmas last year and I was told it was the best hot chocolate ever! I kid you not about that!! So creamy, smooth and made with coconut milk.

This next hot chocolate drink is made with, well more pumpkin! Told you I can’t get enough pumpkin! I served this drink to Jenny before she went to work and oh my gosh she loved it!! This is Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
I really have fun making my frappes, lattes and hot chocolates. I feel like a scientist when I am making them. I just add a pinch of this and a pinch of that and come up with fun creations! That’s one thing I love about making drinks! You can make almost anything into a drink!

Well my Friends, since this is Saturday morning still I have lots of recipes to start making for the week. I have a few wonderful ones already lined up!!


Have a great rest of the weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S. I just have to show you my Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappe again! I think this will be my afternoon drink today!

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening. 
🎄
Do you have a food dish that you like to make during the holidays?

The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.

💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
