It’s like your lunchbox classic just went on a tropical getaway! Sweet, juicy berries, rich peanut butter, and a swirl of velvety goodness come together in every sip. Go ahead—elevate your snack time. You’ll thank me later! -A
- Banana – Bananas bring natural sweetness and a creamy texture to your smoothie! For the best flavor, use a ripe, yellow banana. I used a larger-sized one for this recipe.
- Strawberry Yogurt – Greek yogurt adds a protein boost and the strawberry flavor gives the smoothie a jam-like richness.
- Graham Crackers- A little bit of crushed graham cracker on top really does a trick for my tastebuds, and i also use them like little spoons to scoop my smoothie too!
- Peanut Butter – I love using Jif, especially since Costco sells it in a convenient 2-pack, which is perfect for peanut butter enthusiasts like us!
- Frozen Strawberries – Skip the ice! Frozen strawberries make your smoothie thick and creamy without watering it down. I usually wash mine, then divide them into freezers bags right away.
- Almond Milk – You can use any milk you prefer, whether it’s dairy or plant-based. I personally enjoy the mild, creamy taste of almond milk for this recipe.
Making this peanut butter berry smoothie couldn’t be easier! It’s a simple “add and blend” process, but here’s a step-by-step for those who want extra guidance:
- Combine Ingredients: Start by adding the soft ingredients (like peanut butter, banana, and yogurt) to the blender first. This allows the blades to work more efficiently.
- Blend Smoothly: Begin blending at a low speed, then gradually increase to high. If your blender comes with a tamper, use it to keep the mixture moving. Blend until the smoothie is silky and smooth.
