Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie (original) (raw)
This peanut butter and jelly smoothie is a tasty and healthy twist on your favorite childhood classic. Plus it is the perfect post-workout snack packed with protein and deliciousness.
Peanut Butter and Jelly. Has there ever been a more perfect combination? I mean REALLY. Don’t get me wrong there are so many flavor combinations out there that really make the palate sing, but peanut butter and jelly is a classic and you just can’t go wrong!
No matter what age you are, peanut butter and jelly brings you back. As an adult, I try to think of ways to get creative with peanut butter and jelly. These Pb and J Swirl Energy Balls are one of my favorite on-the-go snacks and taste just like a PB and J sandwich! And, our peanut butter and jelly quinoa cups are a new reader favorite.
This pb and j smoothie blends frozen berries, peanut butter, protein powder, and milk into one thick, perfectly sweet protein shake and only uses a few basic ingredients.
Why We Love It
This peanut butter and jelly protein smoothie is one of my go-to smoothies because I can mix it up, add some protein powder, and be ready for the day in no time. And? I love that this smoothie tastes like a childhood favorite, but it’s also a healthy post-workout treat!
Looking for more ways to get your PBJ Smoothie fix? Here are some variations:
- Use a different berry such as strawberries or cherries.
- Try a different nut butter – almond butter or cashew butter would be delicious.
- Make it a smoothie bowl and add your favorite granola on top.
