Description
Peanut butter and jelly smoothie is a playful twist on the classic PB&J sandwich, blending creamy peanut butter, sweet berries, and almond milk. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout recovery, or as a quick snack. Easily made vegan, dairy-free, or low-sugar.
Ingredients
For the Smoothie:
– ¾ cup frozen blueberries
– ¾ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
– ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (substitute milk of choice)
– 1 tbsp peanut butter (substitute almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if needed)
– 5–6 drops liquid stevia (or substitute monk fruit, honey, or maple syrup for low-sugar diets)
– ¼ cup ice
Optional Add-Ins:
– 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (substitute collagen powder, hemp protein, or silken tofu for variety)
– Handful of spinach or kale
– 1 tsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
For Garnish (Optional):
– Drizzle of peanut butter
– Sprinkle of chia seeds or coconut flakes
– Fresh berries
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. Freeze blueberries beforehand for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Place frozen blueberries, sliced strawberries, almond milk, peanut butter, liquid stevia, ice, and protein powder (if using) into a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the texture feels too thin, add more frozen fruit or reduce the amount of liquid.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or liquid if needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the freshest taste. Optionally garnish with a drizzle of peanut butter, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or fresh berries.
Notes
– Use frozen fruit: This ensures maximum thickness and creaminess. Substitute fresh berries if preferred, but note the texture may vary.
– Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Freeze portions for longer storage; blend again with a splash of milk to restore texture. Avoid leaving the smoothie at room temperature for extended periods.
– Customizations: Add spinach, kale, or chia seeds for extra nutrition. Swap sweeteners or nut butters for variety.
