It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with smoothies. Especially ones that are healthy, yet taste like dessert. 

Whenever I don’t know what to have for breakfast or can’t decide what to snack on, I always go for a smoothie. Funny thing is, I pretty much always end up throwing different ingredients together so that my smoothies are different every single time.

Regardless of what kind of ingredients I put in my blender, I always use frozen bananas and almond milk or coconut water as my “base”. Today’s smoothie is no different. I also added some natural peanut butter- one that contains no hydrogenated oils, sugar, salt, soy protein, corn syrup and stabilizers- and some fresh blueberries for that true PB&J flavor as well as flaxseed meal for fiber and essential fatty acids.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie (2 servings)

2 frozen bananas
handful of ice cubes
unsweetened almond milk
2 TBS natural peanut butter
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tsp flaxseed meal

Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until well-combined. Use as much or as little milk as you’d like- less for creamier and thicker smoothie.
