Strawberry Orange Smoothie

December 30, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 36 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you the last smoothie of the year!  It’s a sweet one, healthy, low-calorie and made with my favorite fruit, strawberries!

Strawberry Orange Smoothie
I just love strawberries and I haven’t really had anything made with strawberries in a long time. This smoothie has it all! A wonderful strawberry flavor, a pop of orange and it’s oh so creamy smooth!! It’s perfect for me to say goodbye to 2013!
Strawberry Orange Smoothie
When making this smoothie my blender took a crapper on me. Sigh… I have a Ninja blender which worked like a dream until I made this smoothie. I guess I need to invest in a new blender, I’m thinking the Vitamix. It seems like that blender makes everyone pretty happy. I am disappointed because this blender only lasted me a couple of years. Lucky I have a back up blender so I can make today’s smoothie. Otherwise I would have been pretty upset.
Strawberry Orange Smoothie
This smoothie is made with a blend of orange juice, coconut milk, greek yogurt and a pinch of stevia to sweetened it up. It’s all great ingredients and full of protein and fiber. This smoothie is very filling too!!!

Strawberry Orange Smoothie
I thought I would give you a little health update. I went to the doctors and got my lab results for finding out if I am lactose intolerant. I was tested for Celiac, lactose and fructose. I got a negative on everything, which is a good thing. What the doctor found is that I have a bacterial over-growth in my intestine. That is what caused the empty feeling in my stomach, weight gain and the bloating. The doctor put me on antibiotics for 10 days. He said this will re-boot my system. I all ready feel great and my stomach has flattened out! Yah! I lost 5 lbs in two days taking the antibiotics. It goes to show how much I was bloated! So I am happy to report that I can have dairy again! However, I am going to limit my intake of it. I am also going to limit my intake of carbs too. I want to start 2014 on a good health note, so I am going to up my protein, eat more vegetables and limit my fruit to a couple of servings a day. I think I was really over-doing the fruit. I am not sure what caused the infection, but now I need to keep an eye on  what I am eating. I think to much of anything is not good, including healthy food.  Yes, I said that, but it’s true. Will that mean, I’ll eat junk?  Of course not! My body is a machine and I need to keep it fueled with good things!

So that’s it for me! Have a great day and Happy Smoothie Monday!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Great that you’ve hit the reset button and can start working on some new goals. Really appreciate all your yummy recipes and your balance of health and treats. If you can splurge, get the Vitamix. I bought one about six months ago and it has been the best kitchen investment I ever made!

    Love this combination of flavors Jennifer, so sweet and fresh. So happy to hear your health news, it’s always so good when they can figure out what the problem is. I know it makes your life a lot easier not having to completely limit the dairy and gluten. Happy New Year!

    Smoothies are the best! I killed my old blender awhile back – I think it’s the frozen bananas in smoothies. I am thinking about a Vitamix, but truthfully my food processor has been doing an amazing job! Glad you are feeling better. I eat tons of fruit and hope that’s not a bad thing. Maybe I should up my vegetable intake!

      What a great idea to use a Food Processor. I should do that too! I want a Vitamix, but I don’t want to spend the money on it. Nah, eating lots of fruits and vegetables is a good thing, just be sure to was them! 🙂

    Glad you are feeling better! This smoothie sounds so perfect right now. I love strawberry anything! Side note, I’ve heard from a few people that the Vitamix was one of their favorite purchases. We don’t have one just yet, but plan to. Just wanted to stop by to thank you for sharing and linking up to What’d You Do This Weekend and I will be featuring this later tonight in this week’s linkup. Have a great night!

    Hello, I have tried this recipe several times in the last couple of weeks, and i used almond milk instead of coconut, (which I think might have altered the flavor) and plain greek yogurt. I have found that this tastes best (for my taste buds, which I like things really sweet) to use the 100 calorie yoplait (or which ever brand that is fat free) strawberry flavored greek yogurt. It has just the right amount of sweetness (there again, for me). I LOVE it! I hope this helps someone! And thanks for sharing your recipe!

    But isn’t that a lot of sugar? Or does it depend on what your dietician wants how much you intake.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
