The Best & Easiest PB&J Smoothie

NOTE: You can find other recipes for smoothies throughout my blog. A few favorites are my turmeric smoothie, green smoothie or strawberry-banana smoothie.

I am a peanut butter and jelly girl through and through. I grew up loving them and I often lived off of them in college because they’re so affordable. I think PB&J sandwiches are universally liked too. I’ve never really met someone who doesn’t like a PB&J. The only debate around PB&J is “what flavor jam is best?” and there is only one answer to that. It’s obviously strawberry, but I digress.

As of late, I’ve been making this smoothie for me and Hart daily. It’s so good! We can’t get enough of it so I figured I’d share it on my blog. I hope you’ll love it as much as we do.

INGREDIENTS FOR PB&J SMOOTHIE:

• 1 cup of almond milk. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
• 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 – 1 cup of mixed frozen berries. I’ve been loving this antioxidant fruit blend from Target. It includes blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate.
• 2 generous tablespoons of peanut butter or your nut butter of choice
• 1 – 2 tablespoons of collagen powder (optional)

TIPS & TRICKS:

• Use up the fresh berries in your fridge that may be going bad soon. You can also save some of the berries by putting them in a freezer bag and freezing them for later.
• Go basic and use just frozen strawberries or just frozen blueberries
• Scrape the sides of the blender to peel the peanut butter off of the sides

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Throw it all into the blender and enjoy!
