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

Comment:

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.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
