Growing up one of one my all time favorite lunches was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. My mom used to make them every day for lunch and I never tired of it. All through college it remained my go-to meal when I was rushing out the door to class, or the year I lived in the sorority house and didn’t always have the most desirable meals…
At the age of 24 it’s safe to say a good ol’ fashioned pb&j still ranks as one of my top comfort food choices. Now it’s more of an almond butter and jelly sammie, but just as delicious.
Meet the adult version of a pb&j, in a smoothie format. This has quickly become a favorite lunch or after-workout beverage of choice. There are so many variations that you could make of this- using peanut butter, almond butter or even pb2 (just the powder), almond milk vs milk and the various protein powders to choose between.

I have a smoothie almost every morning! I love that its a fast breakfast but filling and healthy! I normally just do banana, almond milk, almond butter, spinach, and vanilla protein powder but will def. need to try adding berries! Who doesn’t love a pb&j
That sounds so similar to the smoothies we make at home! Fresh homemade smoothies are just delish!
yum! I love pbj’s too, they are my easy go to lunch!
Whoa! This sounds amazing!

I can sufficiently say that I love the PBJ combo more than any 21-year-old really should. It’s a sickness. This sounds like the PERFECT way to fuel my addiction!

Do you sell Stella & Dot? I have been thinking about selling their products, but just can’t seem to commit. what are you thoughts on this?
sounds delicious and healthy at the same time!
nothing wrong with peanut butter and jelly one of my favorite dishes from my childhood is mac and cheese and i still make it all the time. although i dont’ think mac and cheese would make a very good smoothie. this one looks great
The name of it sounds so weird but the ingredients sound super good. I’ll have to give it a try!

Mmm this sounds good! Can’t wait to try it!
