Looking for the perfect smoothie full of protein, fiber and healthy fats? This has been my go to drink lately! I’m not kidding I probably have it at least 3 times a week for breakfast (or lunch or dinner…). It’s so delicious and won’t spike your blood sugar and will keep you full for at least 3 hours! Seriously it’s the perfect balance of completely yummy and so healthy for you.
Honestly staying super full between meals is what’s saving my sanity and helping me get through the day lately. It helps me focus on other things, get things done and not constantly think about what I need to eat!
I love this recipe because you can add or take away or exchange lots of things. Add in almond butter, or a different milk or whatever your favorite protein powder is! Make it your own and I guarantee it’ll still be your favorite smoothie!
PB+J Protein Smoothie
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (heaping scoops!)
- 3 servings vanilla protein powder (I use Aldi's Elevation Vanilla Protein Powder)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 6 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender.
- Blend on low for about 30 seconds and then on medium-high for 15 seconds until everything is incorporated.
- Separate into 3 separate cups. Drink one now and save two for later! (see next step)
- To save any of the smoothies for later, put the serving in a freezer safe cup (I use a plastic cup with plastic wrap on the top) and put in freezer for up to 5 days. Move your smoothie to the fridge 24 hours in advance to thaw to the perfect consistency!
Notes
- I usually put my frozen blueberries at the bottom of the blender but it doesn’t really matter usually.
- Add a little ice if you want it colder or more frozen!
- Switch it up with different frozen fruits or use whatever milk or nut butter you have on hand.
Please let me know if you end up making this smoothie! It’s seriously my favorite and so simple to make! A little hint while cleaning your blender is to fill it half way with hot water and a drop of dish soap and blend it up! It’s the laziest hack to clean it.
