Satisfy Summer Cravings with prAna & Stonyfield

June 8, 2016 by naptimetales 16 Comments

Finally guys, it IS SUUUUUMMERRRRR! I’ve never been so ready for days at the pool, ice cream on the deck, s’more parties and fire fly chasing. Except it’s almost mid June and it doesn’t feel too much like summer in Pennsylvania. It’s been cool, rainy, muggy and kind of yucky the last month or so with warm days popping up here and there. So while I’ve busted out the tanks tops, maxi dresses and cropped pants…I’m still living in jeans. Lucky for me prAna sent me this comfy pair of Kara jeans to try and I think I’ve found the perfect pair of pants for cooler summer days and nights by the fire.

jeans

Although the jeans are denim, they don’t feel heavy and have a nice stretch to them for more of a fitted feel. They come long with an adjustable, foldable cuff so you can sport them with heels or my summer go to- sandals. I chose the dark Indigo color because I’m boring and still adapting to East coast life in dark clothing…but if you are more adventurous they have some cute color options and even fun prints.

And then…real life happens- Of course someone gets a “boo boo” while Mommy is trying to work my magic on the runway deck but at least we got a super sweet picture capturing the power of a Mommy’s kiss.

After our little photo session I was going to take the jeans off to get some work done around the house and paint some chairs. They are so comfortable I actually FORGOT I had them on and *gasp* cleaned the house and painted two bar stools with chalk paint before realizing I needed to change into a less valued article of clothing. Luckily the jeans were spared. Whew!

After all this modeling, boo boo healing, cleaning and painting, I needed a treat. So my husband whipped up our family’s favorite smoothies with the help of some Stonyfield’s whole milk Greek yogurt.

The recipe is so simple and you end up with a sweet but low calorie smoothie packed with protein (something my non meat eating kids desperately need help with):

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

1 banana

1/2 cup Stonyfield whole milk greek yogurt

4 cups of ice

1/3 cup of water (for consistency- add more if smoothie is too thick)

2 spoonfuls of PB2

1 1/2 – 2 1/2 spoonfuls of sweeter (we use Truvia to keep things low calorie but use sugar to your hearts desire)

Throw everything in a blender and mix until smooth. Add sweeter to taste.

Then pour that baby in a glass, add a bendy straw (smoothies MUST be consumed with a bendy straw) and drink a piece of paradise! I swear it tastes just like the peanut paradise smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe and if you added chocolate or picked up the chocolate version of PB2, you could get away with a copycat version of their peanut butter cup but with a fraction of the calories.

    My current fav flavor is chocolate protein powder mixed with PB2 and frozen dark cherries! And of course a bendy straw!

      If you aren’t drinking your smoothies with a bending straw, you are doing it all wrong. HAHAHA! Kidding, I’m kidding (kind of).

    I have family in MD and they have been bogged down by rain too. Hope you get a sun filled summer this year!

      We aren’t too far from MD…they are probably having the same cool weather we’ve been having over the last few days too. Maybe someday summer will come in full force!

    my all time favorite smoothie flavor (and not gonna lie, the only kind i ever make for myself) is chocolate peanut butter banana (so pretty much yours, except with cocoa powder and real peanut butter. i do use the powder if i happen to have any but i usually go through it so quickly i just stick with the jar 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win! I love prAna and only have 1 pair of jeans/pants right now so this would be awesome!
