You know that old saying, “it goes together like peanut butter and jelly”? Well, that’s how I view the words “healthy” and “delicious.” I want to scream from the rooftops that you don’t have to pick one OR the other. That’s right, my friends. Healthy food CAN and SHOULD taste delicious! This PB&J Smoothie is case in point.
Flash back to a year ago when I created my AB&J Smoothie, noting I prefer the flavor of almond butter to peanut butter. Alas, for some reason last fall I was on a huge peanut butter kick and so this recipe was created. I probably had it almost every day for two months straight, so it’s about time I share it with you! I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 c frozen blueberries
- 1/2 c frozen riced cauliflower
- 1/2 frozen banana
- Sprinkle of broccoli sprouts (optional, but great for your gut microbiome!)
- 1 goji berry Blender Bomb
- 2 tbs natural peanut butter (Check the ingredient label! The only ingredient in your peanut butter should be peanuts. Everything else is unnecessary.)
Directions
- Add all ingredients to your high-powered blender.
- While you’re blending your smoothie, drizzle a little peanut butter in your glass. It will look super gourmet and you’ll enjoy an occasional yummy bite with an extra punch of flavor!
- Pour your smoothie into your glass and enjoy!
I love my smoothies super thick – almost like soft-serve ice cream consistency. I find them to be the most satiating when eaten with a spoon! If you prefer yours thinner or if your blender can’t handle the ratio of liquid to frozen foods, just add more liquid. Let me know what you think of this PB&J Smoothie in the comments or over on Instagram @haven_quinlan.
