Pb&J Smoothie

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple in my home. It is our go-to sandwich for day-trips, picnics, or when we’re just feeling nostalgic.

Enjoy this timeless flavor in a delicious and refreshing smoothie! This smoothie is a good source of calcium, protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats. It’s quick and easy and makes a perfect breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a snack any time of day. Feel free to customize with what you have on hand.

Ingredients:

• 8-12 ounces of your favorite milk (for a thicker smoothie use the lower end)

• 1/2 cup your favorite frozen berries (I love freezing fresh berries I get this time of year)

• ½ banana, frozen (adding a frozen banana makes for a creamier texture and adds some sweetness. It's also a good source of potassium and vitamin B6)

• 1 scoop your favorite vanilla protein powder (can sub 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt)

• 1 tbsp your favorite natural peanut butter

• 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds (optional)

• 1 handful of spinach or kale (optional)

Directions:

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender.

2. Blend until a smooth consistency.

3. Pour into your favorite cup or bottle.

4. Sip & enjoy!
