A delicious alternative to the ordinary and routine PB & J
Just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, this PB & J Protein Smoothie is quick and easy to make and can be consumed on the go. Make with fresh or frozen fruit or try it with different nut butters for variety.
Benefits of Nut Butters
Nuts and nut butters are a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. When shopping for peanut butter, look for a natural style product with little to no added fat or sugar.
