Caribbean Twist Smoothie

January 13, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Smoothie Monday to you!!!  Today I have for you a fun, tropical, healthy, no sugar added smoothie that will sure to take you to the beaches.  Well ok, I only wish a smoothie can take me to a beach, especially this time of year, but we can imagine it.  One thing I have to say is forgive the pictures.  I made this in the morning at the wrong lighting, so don’t let that fool you, this smoothie is mighty delish and get this, Husband approved!!
Caribbean Twist Smoothie
This smoothie, is naturally sweet, full of protein, virtually no fat and is so thick and creamy. It’s truly the perfect smoothie mixture. It’s made with wonderful strawberries, pineapple and banana and it’s belly approved!I have been reading about food that will help flatten your belly and help take off some unwanted pounds and everything in this smoothie is for helping shed belly fat!
Caribbean Twist Smoothie
As I said I made this smoothie in the morning while my Husband was working on the car. I went in the garage to give him the smoothie and he said not now, I have to paint. So I put it in the fridge for him. I went to take a shower and when I came out, he had the San Francisco game on and I heard slurp, slurp. You know that annoying sound hear when someone slurps the bottom of the glass with a straw? Well that was magic to my ears, because I knew he liked the smoothie. He even said this was really good. I didn’t tell him their was greek yogurt in it because if he knew he would have said yuk! lol

Caribbean Twist Smoothie
So what makes this smoothie so healthy? The fruit in this smoothie have a balanced glucose to fructose ratio, meaning it will be easier on your digestive track. Also the bananas are high in potassium, filled with fiber and B6 which helps the blood sugar regulate. The strawberries are filled with antioxidants, vitamin C and actually can help prevent wrinkles. More strawberries please!! They also regulate your blood pressure, help prevent cancer and last but not least, help with diabetes 2 and heart disease. There are more benefits, but I won’t go on. Just eat your strawberries, just be sure to wash them first.

Pineapple is full of antioxidants, helps the immune system (meaning no colds), strengthens bones and gums, lowers the risk of Macular Degeneration which is vision loss and alleviates arthritis.  I could go on, but I won’t!

Coconut milk is full of vitamin E, loaded with minerals, it’s a healthy fat and helps stabilizes blood sugar.  As for greek yogurt, you already know!  It’s full of protein, low sugar, low carbs, good source of calcium, potassium, zinc, B6 and B12 and filled with healthy good for your belly probiotics.

Well that’s it, for me today.  I am off to Costco to look at the Vitamix blender.  They had a demo yesterday, but I didn’t go to it like a dummy!  Now I regret it.  The blender I have is just horrible, and I need some power baby!


Have a wonderful Monday!

Toodles,

Jennifer

My favorite thing to make in a slow cooker is Swiss steak. I use a pound of thin round steak, pounded even thinner, cut it into 3 to 4 inch “squarish” pieces, which I then salt, pepper, and dredge in flour. I heat some oil in a skillet and brown the pieces on both sides; layer them in the slow cooker with sliced onion, celery, and crushed whole tomatoes with the juice (1 large can). Cook on low for several hours, or until the meat is fork tender. Serve over mashed potatoes. This is a family favorite and so easy!

Congratulations Amy!  Please reply within 48 hours to confirm your prize.  I sent you an e-mail.

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.

Have a wonderful day!

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?

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!
