The easiest, tastiest smoothie ever! This protein packed recipe is from my BFF Sarah, who says it’s basically an excuse to drink peanut butter. I’m all over it.
How was your 4th of July weekend guys?? Ours was super fun, full of sunshine and watermelon and slip and slides. Can’t beat that.
I think my kids partied a little too hard though. Truman woke up sick in the middle of the night. No incidents since, but that hasn’t stopped me from lining every square inch of our house with towels and sheets.
Needless to say, today has been kind of slow. All the sudden it was 2:30pm and I was still in my PJs.
Normally at this point I would surrender to the pajama gods: stay in the house all day and pray that no one knocks on the door. But NOTHING guarantees a faster knock at the door than surrendering to the pajama gods, let me tell you.
It was the water company. They left a note saying that in 20 minutes they were shutting off the water for 3 hours. THAT was when I remembered that I had a church meeting later that night and had to actually get dressed.
I think I’ve found the solution to California’s drought problem. Just threaten to shut off the water…nothing guarantees a faster shower.
Did anyone play volleyball over the holiday weekend? Perfect 4th of July pick up game, right? I’m not much of a volleyball player but I am alllll about drinking the smoothies that awesome volleyball players drink. My buddies over at Almond Breeze are partnering up with the USA Volleyball team. I feel like pretty much everyone drinks smoothies these days, but no one more so than athletes, amiright? That’s why this smoothie is packed with tons of protein. I really am full after finishing it, even though it doesn’t seem like a ton. Plus it is sooooo good. You have to let me know if you try it out! Go Team USA!

Just in time for my next grocery trip. Guess what’s going on my list? Almond milk, of course! We love smoothies. Making these today. Thanks, Karen!
Perfect! I hope you guys love it Roberta! Thanks for doing the survey :)
Entered! :) I’ve recently started buying almond milk to make smoothies. It’s so good! I need to mix things up a bit since I always make the exact same thing though. I always add spinach . . . the green color keeps the kids from stealing my breakfast haha.
Ha!! That’s a pretty good strategy Claire. Haha. Unfortunately my kids have figured out that green smoothies still taste amazing… Thanks for doing the survey friend!
I completed the survey- I love almond milk!
Thanks Lori! You’re awesome.
Did the survey. My girls LOVE peanut butter banana smoothies!
They’re the best right Alicia! Thanks!!
I took the survey. Thanks!
Thanks for filling it out!! :)
I did the survey! I did it, I did it. Mostly for you, but the beckoning call of $50 is quite alluring.
So here is my problem with smoothies- if I make one, then I have to clean the pain in the butt food processor. I really think if I had house elves then I would eat a lot healthier.
I feel your pain. We use an immersion blender in a big cup. The blender part detaches and we throw it in the dishwasher. Super easy.
I know Ami, the cleaning is the worst! We have an immersion blender too, and sometimes we use that. Clean up is super easy.
Love this recipe! And I took the survey!
I took the survey. Peanut butter? Banana? Smoothie? YES!
I mean right?? Thanks Linda! :)
Oh, yummmmmmmmm. Shakes are the very best. (I applaud you for the short shower under any circumstance, ha!) (And I took the survey!!)
Thanks Carla! Muah!
I did the survey. Also – I love love banana peanut butter smoothies. Or milkshakes, as they are called at our house. We usually add cocoa powder also.
Ok so you are probably the only honest one here Jessi. It’s pretty much a milk shake :) :)
