Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie
Lately I have been seeing Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothies pretty much everywhere. All over the internet, restaurants, and even my gym has their own pretty tasty version. So I wanted to create my very own. Especially since we are big fans of the classic sandwich in my home.
This PB&J Smoothie makes for a satisfying, filling, and tasty drink. A healthy spin on a classic sandwich we all loved as kids served as a smoothie. This smoothie is rich in protein, flavors, and it of course is nutrient-dense. Made with frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, peanut butter, chia seeds, collagen peptides and milk of choice. Makes for a great breakfast or snack.
Ingredients needed to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie:
- Frozen Banana– Makes the smoothie creamy and thick.
- Frozen Strawberries– You can also use frozen raspberries.
- Peanut Butter– Creamy and Unsalted
- Chia Seeds– Adds nutrients.
- Collagen Peptides– Adds protein and creaminess. You can also use protein powder.
- Oat Milk– Or any preferred milk.
Equipment needed to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie:
- High Speed Blender– You can use a regular blender. You may just need to blend your smoothie a bit longer.
How to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie:
- Step 1– Layer all ingredients in a high speed blender; frozen banana, frozen strawberries, peanut butter, chia seeds, and collagen peptides. Pour milk in last.
- Step 2– Blend for 40-60 seconds until creamy smooth texture is reached. Serve and drink immediately. Enjoy!
Tips and Substitutions:
- Layer the ingredients in the blender in the order that’s indicated in the recipe- Layering the ingredients this way makes a difference. It allows the blender to blend the frozen ingredients first then takes the rest in with the liquid being last. This makes for a creamier and richer smoothie. Believe me, it matters!
- Switch up your nut butter- Use other nut butter as supposed to peanut butter. Almond butter makes for a great substitute.
- No collagen peptides?- Substitute for protein powder of choice.
- Substitute for oat milk- You can use any milk you prefer.
- Add ice– Add some ice if you want your smoothie to be thicker.
- Substitute for chia seeds– Use hemp hearts or flax meal.
How to serve Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie:
Pour your Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie into a tall glass or mason jar. I like garnishing my smoothie with some strawberries and a drizzle of peanut butter over the top.
Variations:
- Use frozen raspberries– If you prefer the flavor of raspberries use those instead. You can also use a combination of both.
- Use other but butters– Almond butter or cashew butter are great.
- Make nut-free– Use sunflower butter for a nut-free version.
- Make it vegan– Use vegan protein powder for a vegan friendly version.
- Add more protein– Add some Greek yogurt and/or a bit of oats for more protein and a thicker smoothie.
- Add some greens– Add a handful of baby spinach or kale for some added greens and nutrients.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie FAQ’s:
Not a fan of bananas in your smoothies?
If you don’t like bananas in your smoothies, you can use frozen cauliflower rice as a substitute. Frozen cauliflower rice makes smoothies creamy like frozen bananas do. Don’t worry, your smoothie won’t taste like cauliflower. Trust me! Plus it will get the added nutrition cauliflower has to offer.
What can I do if my smoothie is too thick?
Add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Can I use fresh berries in this Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie?
Yes. If you only have fresh strawberries or raspberries, you can use those. Just add ice to make your smoothie thick and cold.
What if I am allergic to peanuts?
No worries. You can still enjoy this delicious and refreshing Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie. Substitute peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter. If you are allergic to nuts all together, swap them for sunflower seed butter.
Meal Prepping it:
This Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie is great for meal prep as it only calls for a few ingredients. You can either make a few servings and keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days. You can also make freezer smoothie bags with your banana and strawberries. Then all you have to do is throw in the rest of ingredients.
Storing Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie:
If you have any leftover Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie keep it in a mason jar tightly sealed. Keep refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. Please note that the smoothie will most likely start to separate. Just give it a shake or blend to mix it up again.
