Description
This Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie captures the nostalgic flavor of a classic sandwich in a creamy, nutritious drink. Packed with fruit, protein, and healthy fats, it’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (or strawberries/blueberries)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Combine frozen berries, banana, peanut butter, milk, and yogurt (if using) in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. If too thin, add ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and add honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired.
- Pour into a glass or to-go cup and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Swap banana with ½ avocado or more berries if preferred.
- Add protein powder for a higher-protein version.
- Throw in a handful of spinach for added nutrients without altering flavor.
- Use frozen banana for a milkshake-like texture.
- Add chia seeds, flaxseed, or oats for extra fiber and satiety.
