pb & j smoothie

An easy and super delicious smoothie, with the classic peanut butter and jelly flavours. This is a tasty and healthy twist on the classic sandwich.

Made with only a handful of ingredients, this smoothie makes a great breakfast or an afternoon pick-me up.

TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED

PEANUT BUTTER

Make sure to use one that is made from 100% peanuts, without any added sugars or oils.

BERRIES

Strawberries work especially well, but other berries such as blueberries, cherries or raspberries are delicious too!

I recommend using frozen berries as this will thicken the smoothie.

BANANA

Adding frozen banana gives the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency. You can however use fresh banana if you don't have any in the freezer.

ALMOND MILK

I used Almond milk to make this, however you can use any milk of choice.

PROTEIN POWDER (OPTIONAL)

I added a scoop of peanut butter flavoured protein powder, but this is completely optional.

Adding protein powder will make this a healthy post-workout treat!

OTHER ADD-IN OPTIONS

Add a tablespoon of oats to make this a more substantial breakfast smoothie
Add chia or flaxseeds

ALL THE FLAVOURS, WITHOUT THE BREAD

This smoothie is vitamins rich and has no added sugar.

For a nut-free option make sure to use a nut-free milk

TIPS ON MAKING A GOOD SMOOTHIE

Using frozen fruit will give the smoothie a thicker consistency.
Make sure to use a good quality peanut butter without any additives to keep it as healthy as possible.
Blend until the texture is completely smooth, without any bits.
Make sure to use a good high-speed blender.
