My Secret Smoothie

 I am not an avid fruit/veggie eater.....and I honestly just don't make the effort.  I always buy them, cut them up for my kids, but rarely choose to eat them for myself as a snack.  I prefer to drink my fruits/veggies.

I get sick of smoothies after days of having them.....UNLESS every single smoothie tastes like a peanut butter milkshake!  That is something that I don't ever get sick of!

I was going through jar after jar of Almond Butter....until my husband found out about this powdered peanut butter!  I have no idea how they do it...but they manage to crush peanuts into powder...remove most of the fat....and make it taste amazing in your smoothie!   PERFECT! I use PB2 and you can read up on it here.


I generally use one big spoonful of the peanut butter powder, any frozen fruit that I have at the time, a handful of spinach or kale, and coconut flavored water. (I also use almond milk from time to time, but in the summer I think it is too thick.  It does taste more like a milkshake when I use the almond milk though)



Turquoise rimmed glasses, and now I am thinking of adding a few of these to the mix

I have been using this blender for years and I honestly lOVE that it has different cups because I can make my kids smoothies with milk, and I don't have to worry about it mixing into my drink.  I have been contemplating making the switch to a vitamin, because I picture myself making smoothies, soup, hummus, guacamole, and more smoothies.....but I just can't seem to make the jump!  I actually received one from my mother in law for Christmas a few years ago...and my husband and I thought it was too nice of a blender for us!  Now I want to poke myself in the eye for not keeping! 

I am a creature of habit and rarely change up my smoothies...but I am up for some new recipes if you have any!!!!!

  1. I just discovered PB2 also and have been using it in my Shakeology shakes. I can't wait to make one like you suggested. Like you, I never get enough fruits and veggies in my day to day. Thanks for sharing!
