PB & J Smoothie with Extra Yum
PB & J Smoothie with Extra Yum and Health
Never thought you'd be a healthy smoothie drinker? Me either but my son got me thinking that it might be a good way to get my fruits and/or veggies in and now I absolutely love them. You can adjust and change fruit you like or go with more spinach or try kale. It's amazing how they don't change the flavor just the color and nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen (I don't take time to freeze)
- 6 oz Chobani Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (don't let it scare you, I love it and I didn't like cows milk unless there was chocolate syrup in it)
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter (any kind but I use natural smooth with no sugar)
- 5 ice cubes
- 2 tsp Truvia (I don't like yogurt at all but the Truvia makes it tasty)
- The next ingredients are what I add to all my smoothies and they don't change the flavor at all, just the nutrients. Don't knock it unless you try it
- 2 Tbsp milled flax seed
- about 7 fresh spinach leaves, ripped up
Instructions
- I buy strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and clean them all and cut up what's needed and but it container so each morning before work it saves loads of time. The yogurt is plain Greek style because there is more protein in it and less sugar.
- Place all ingredients in a Magic Bullet (that's what my friend Lisa and I use, and Casey uses a Farberware, we all enjoy them and they work better than a blender)
- Put a straw in your smoothie and you are enjoying a healthy and yummy meal.
