PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SMOOTHIE

There are plenty of ways to satisfy your PB & J cravings that don’t involve the sort of high carbohydrate feast that white toast bread is. I posted an overnight oats version of this favourite snack of mine not long ago – it is a fabulous breakfast. My problem is that sometimes I forget to prepare it in advance but still want to have that delicious combination of peanut butter and fruit without having to wait until next morning. This is where this peanut butter and jelly smoothie comes in handy. It is instant gratification and doubles as a protein shake if you want to use it as such

It comes with 15 grams of protein per serving without having added any protein powder. The protein in this smoothie mainly consists of the peanut butter which gives you almost 10 grams of it. Oats supply roughly 3 grams protein while the fruit and almond milk contribute about 1 gram each. Additionally, it comes with a good serving of fibre which will keep you going until lunchtime. Did I already mention that it is delicious?

INGREDIENTS

• 300 ml ( 1⅓ cup) unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 frozen banana
• 200g (1 cup) frozen strawberries
• 3 tbsp oats
• ½ tsp cardamom (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
Pour all ingredients into a blender and process until smooth.
NOTES
*You can use fresh banana and berries but the smoothie will be a lot more liquid. You can fix this by adding a few ice cubes.
**To drizzle your smoothie with peanut butter simply heat a small amount of it in a metal measuring cup on the stove or in a microwave. It will melt like regular butter.
