Peanut Butter & Berry Smoothie

This PB&J smoothie tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but is loaded with sneaky ingredients and nutrients that boost your athletic performance and metabolism. 

Growing up, did you pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch? Me too! This Peanut butter Berry Smoothie is a nod to childhood and all things PB&J. PB&J is a classic combo, but if peanut butter and jelly is your jam, then I’ve updated this combo into a delicious smoothie you will LOVE. When making any smoothie, I always make sure to add protein, fat, and fiber for a satisfying meal that turns off hunger hormones.

 I’m extra, so I usually sneak in some veggies as well. My go-to veggies are spinach, zucchini, cauliflower, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, and BEETS. Did you know that beets can improve your athletic performance, digestive system, metabolism, and blood pressure? Beets also make smoothies pink, so you could sneak veggies into someone’s smoothie without them even knowing—not that I would ever do that…

• Tons of health benefits including improved athletic performance
• Nostalgic PB&J taste
• Cheery color to brighten your morning
• Will keep you full until lunchtime
• Gluten-free and can be dairy-free

• Beets: an antioxidant powerhouse that is also full of magnesium and folate to boost your metabolism, nitrates to boost endurance and physical performance, fiber to keep your digestive system running smoothly, and can help reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure
• Protein: provides satiety and helps to balance blood sugar
• Chia seed: aids in digestion, supports blood sugar regulation and is an excellent source of fiber, magnesium, and phosphorus
• Mixed berries: fresh or frozen berries work well to add a little extra color, fiber, and flavor
• Peanut butter: full of heart-healthy fats, improves skin health, and helps to keep you satiated

• I like to use 1 scoop collagen peptides and 1/2 scoop vanilla protein instead of 1 scoop protein.
• Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add water or milk as needed to get things moving.
• If your beets are not frozen, then reduce the liquid to keep it thick and creamy. 

• Glowing Green Protein Smoothie
• Golden Mango Smoothie
• Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie
