Debloating Smoothie

December 2, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Did you stuff yourself this past weekend?  Did you eat lots of leftovers?  Did you consume too many glasses of wine?  A few too many slivers of pumpkin pie?  How about a pinch of this a pinch of that and next thing you know you completely stuffed yourself  and you feel like the Thanksgiving turkey.  Well don’t worry we all do that and trust me I know, actually I know to well!   🙂  So today I created a smoothie for you that will help cure the Monday Belly Blues.
Debloating Smoothie
This smoothie has everything to help you get a flat belly. Now don’t just drink this and think you’re bloating will go away, their are other things you need to do too, here are a few things that you shouldn’t do if your bloated!

  • Don’t Chew Gum
  • Don’t Drink from a Straw
  • Don’t add salt to food
  • Don’t Drink or consume too much Dairy, such as Cheese, Milk & Ice Cream (1 cup of milk is enough)
  • Limit the use of Sugar Substitutes and Sugar Alcohol
  • Don’t Drink Bubbly Drinks including soda or carbonated water
  • Don’t eat to many carbs in the evening
  • Don’t eat Beans (we all know what beans do)
  • Don’t eat Cabbage, Broccoli, Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms, and Artichokes

Debloating Smoothie
So what does my magically smoothie contain to make it debloat you? Just a few simple ingredients! Banana, Strawberries, Pineapple, Spinach and Coconut Milk. That’s it!!! It’s naturally sweet, thick and you DO NOT taste the spinach. I gave it to my Husband and the smoothie scared him. I said just try it and he was pleasantly surprised on how good it is.  Here is what all of the ingredients do for you.

  • Banana – It provides potassium and regulates and can help regulate your body’s sodium levels.
  • Strawberries  – Provides fiber and can help promote digestion and fight bloating. Strawberries are also high in vitamin C.
  • Pineapple – It boasts a high-water concentration that will help to flush excess fluids from your system. They also contain enzymes that help you better digest protein.
  • Spinach – Provides fiber intake can help prevent and combat bloating, plus it helps you get  clearer skin, improved immune system and more.  It’s not a Super Food without good reason.
  • Coconut Milk – it’s a natural diuretic, provides potassium and electrolytes.

Here are a few things you can do if you do feel bloated or um, a little gassy

    • Move around, yes we don’t like to move when were bloated, but the movement moves the gas right out of you.
    • Drink lots of water!  Water will get rid of the sodium, fill you up and it’s just good for you!
    • Eat oatmeal or quinoa!  These are two carbs that will provide fiber, releases slow sugar to help lower your glycemic index.
    • Eat high potassium foods like bananas, nuts, tomatoes, spinach and asparagus.
    • Drink peppermint or chamomile tea, they both sooth a stomach.
    • Drink water with a lemon, this will naturally detoxify your kidneys.  I drink this every morning before my coffee.

Well I hope today’s smoothie helps you feel good! Whether you have bloat or looking for a good smoothie to help kick-start your Monday, this is one that will do it for you!  Now this week, if you make everything I am going to share with you, you will definitely need this smoothie!  I have lots of goodies that I made over Thanksgiving break and I can’t wait to share them with you!


Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weekend I got and e-mail from a student named Brian who is in his first year of Graphic Design and he is currently involved in designing a magazine cover for his final in his Photoshop class.  Brian asked me if  it would be ok if he used my picture of my Roasted Squash and Mexican Black Bean Salad for his final.  I was so flattered that he asked me.  This is one of those blogging moments, when you realize you love what you do!  I told him of course you can use the photo as long as you send me a picture of the cover.  I thought Brian did a beautiful job and I wanted to share it with you.  Don’t you think he did a great job?

    Do you have to use coconut milk? Can you use almond milk instead? I love green smoothies and you absolutely can not taste the spinich. Even if you could, spinich is good!!!

      Hi Patti! Of course you can use almond milk! Almond Milk is very good for and as a bonus it’s low in calorie! I love spinach too and it’s wonderful that you don’t taste it! My Husband had no clue and he thought the green color was from pistachios, lol! Enjoy the smoothie, it’s one of my favorites!! 🙂

      Coconut milk from a can has more calories, plus it is greasy. You have to use the coconut milk from the carton. Trust me on this one. 🙂

      Hi Janna, Using coconut milk from a can is higher calories and it will make the smoothie very greasy and undrinkable. Use coconut milk from a carton. It’s 50 calories a cup. It’s located in with the almond milk and soy milk in the grocery store, normally the cereal isle. I hope this helps.

    Really started to get back into health and fitness about two months ago. I struggle to get as many greens in my diet as I need as I’m not a massive fan of vegetable in general. This smoothie was amazing, it doesn’t taste green at all! Thanks so much Jennifer will definitely be trying more recipes out!

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.
