I promised this recipe in response to Instagram Stories weeks ago and I’m sorry it took so long! It’s been a little bit of challenge teaching in person and online simultaneously… [insert yawn]. That’s why this smoothie recipe (and others) has been a lifesaver for me this year. I toss my ingredients in the NutriBullet, blend, screw the lid on, & hit the road for work.
When Er got the baby, we were doing some research on the Baby Bullet for making baby food, so my Target app thought I was in the market and notified me when the NutriBullet Pro went on sale. I have a nice Ninja blender that I love, but checked it out anyway. Spoiler alert: it was a good decision, especially for smoothies and for the low price of $59.99 I scored it at. There’s no cleanup. The cup you blend in is the cup you take with you (comes with 2)! Just rinse off the blending blades and add a lid! SO easy and 0 mess. Plus, it comes in gold & other pretty colors to match your kitchen!
When I asked for NutriBullet smoothie recipes, one of my former students (TYSM, G!) so kindly reached out and told me her favorite recipe and it was amazing. I immediately fell in love with the thought of a PB&J smoothie– being a PB&J kinda girl. I added some more ingredients and gave it my own spin and at this point, I have it perfected!
Alright, so let’s get to the reason you’re here: the recipe.
Ashley’s PB&J Smoothie (350 cals, 400 cals w/ Chia Seeds)
Add ingredients to NutriBullet in this order:
1/2 c of frozen strawberries (sliced or whole)
1/2 c of frozen blueberries
1/4-1/3 of a fresh banana (optional)
1 TSP of Smuckers Red Raspberry Jam (optional)
1/2 can (1/2 c) of V8 Energy Blueberry Pomegranate
(*You can use another type of berry juice, but juice is an important part of the smoothie)
1 c of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 heaping TBSP of peanut butter
(*If you really love PB, you can use a third TBSP)
2 TSP of lowfat vanilla yogurt
1 packet of Sweet’n’Low or 1 TSP of sugar/sugar substitute
1 TBSP of chia seeds (optional)
1 scoop of collagen peptides (optional)
1 handful of ice
Screw on blending blades and blend for 30 sec- 1 minute.
You can garnish with 1 TSP of melted peanut butter and fruit.
This particular recipe is one of my favorites because it keeps me full for a long time and gives me energy throughout my morning! The V8 Energy drinks are my favorite for in the morning (healthy and low cal too). I also add the other flavors to my other smoothies or drink them on their own!
Smoothies are a great opportunity to add in some nutrition! I add Chia Seeds (for digestion) and Collagen Peptides for the health of my skin, hair, nails, and joints! All of the items I used (other than groceries) are linked in the Shop the Post below!
