Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of almond milk, 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of strawberry jam, and 1/2 cup of ice. Make sure your banana is peeled and ready to use.
- In a blender, pour in the 1 cup of almond milk. This will serve as the liquid base for your smoothie.
- Add the banana to the blender. The banana will provide natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
- Next, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. This will give your smoothie a rich, nutty flavor and a boost of protein.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of strawberry jam. This will add sweetness and a delicious fruity flavor to the smoothie.
- Finally, add 1/2 cup of ice to the blender. This will help chill your smoothie and give it a refreshing consistency.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly. You can garnish with a slice of banana or a dollop of extra peanut butter if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Peanut Butter Jelly Smoothie, a delicious and nutritious treat!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: For the best flavor and creaminess, use ripe bananas that are speckled with brown spots. They will add natural sweetness to your smoothie.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup to taste, especially if your jam isn’t very sweet.
- Experiment with Milk: While almond milk works beautifully, you can substitute it with any milk of your choice, such as oat milk or soy milk, for different flavor profiles.
- Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or Greek yogurt to the blender.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your smoothie presentation by garnishing with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, or even a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.
- Make it a Meal: To turn this smoothie into a more filling meal, add a handful of spinach or a scoop of oats before blending for added nutrients and fiber.
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you want an even colder smoothie, freeze your banana slices beforehand or use frozen strawberries instead of jam for a refreshing twist.Enjoy crafting your Peanut Butter Jelly Smoothie, and let your taste buds embark on a delightful journey!
