My family loves smoothie. My PBJ Smoothie revels a childhood favorite turned into a smoothie! I came up with a Peanut Butter “Jelly” and Banana Smoothie. The jelly portion is actually fresh grapes. As soon as I started sipping on this smoothie I felt like I was eating a glutenous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Instead, I was sipping on a healthy smoothie!

FAQs about PBJ Smoothie
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks when I make PBJ Smoothies.
PBfit is a delicious, low fat powdered peanut butter made from gently roasted peanuts. We extract about 85% of the oil from the peanuts and grind them to a powder. We add a pinch of sugar and a dash of salt to create a delicious powder that is chock full of flavor. Best of all it is GMO free and nitrate free. Making me feel good about serving it to my family.
Peanut butter can give it a thicker consistency depending on how much you put in. That’s why I like using the peanut butter powder that won’t make it overly thick.
Banana adds natural sweetness to a smoothie and creaminess.
Tips & Tricks
Here is a little behind the scenes of what it really looks like on days I have my handy little sous chef in the kitchen with me. He was “taste testing” and trying to help me with styling the photo, i.e., moving straws and bananas from the photo.
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks when making this peanut butter jelly smoothie.
- Frozen Fruit – Instead of using ice that can water down the smoothie you can freeze the banana and grapes the night before making and blend without ice.
- Peanut Butter – If you don’t have peanut butter powder, don’t worry. You can use ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter to the blender.
- Yogurt – Want less tang? Use regular yogurt verse Greek yogurt. I like to use an individual container of yogurt but you can use ¾ cup serving.
- Blender – I used my Wolf Gourmet High Performance Blender to blend up this smoothie. In just 45 seconds we had a fancy smoothie that tasted like we bought it from a smoothie bar–instead we made it in our own home.
