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?

The optional cardamom is all down to your taste buds. If you do not like it, you can omit it. It doesn’t add any notable calories, but it’s full of healthy benefits. It is an excellent source of manganese, iron, magnesium and zinc. Cardamom is ideal for breakfast because of its ability to inhibit infectious microbes while at the same time leaving probiotic bacteria alone. A study conducted by the Division of Entomology and Parasitology at the University of California has verified the antimicrobial properties in cardamom. Confusing? All it means, in this case, is Goodbye morning breath!

Who would not want to have a peanut butter and jelly smoothie that tastes like the famous sandwich and is this healthy? I can’t think of anyone.

This Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie is a great breakfast choice but also doubles as a protein shake if you want to use it as such. Ingredients are listed as: metric ( imperial )
Print Recipe
Metric - US Customary

Ingredients

  • 300 ml almond milk unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 banana frozen
  • 200 g strawberries frozen
  • 3 tbsp oats
  • 1/2 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.

    I eat about 1 jar of peanut butter a week and this will drastically increase my intake! I loved that it wasnt too sweet like other smoothies…

      I feel you! I started making my own peanut butter because the consumption is rather high in this household.

      Of course you can but replacing frozen berries with fresh ones will make a more liquid smoothie. You can counter that by adding a few ice cubes. – G
