    Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie

    This smooth and delish Peanut Butter Banana Protein Drink is healthy smoothie fully loaded with peanut butter, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk and lots of protein!  18 grams of protein, in fact!  This smoothie is a great way to start the day, after a workout or a great meal replacement!

    Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie

    Peanut Butter Substitution

    For the peanut butter, we used PB2, although you can use actual peanut butter.  I've had it both ways, and it's just another smoothie option with less calories.  So, if you aren't familiar with PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter, here's the smack-down.  

    • PB2 is made with premium quality peanuts that are slow-roasted and pressed to remove over 90% of the fat and oil, resulting in a peanut powder.
    • All natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Same consistency as full-fat peanut butter with all of the roasted peanut flavor, but with more than 85% less fat calories. 
    • Two tablespoons of traditional peanut butter contains about 180 calories, while two tablespoons (approximately 12 grams) of PB2 powder, and contains just 53 calories. 
    • Bell Plantation PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is low carb, low fat, all natural, kosher and gluten free.

    Peanut Butter {PB2} Banana Protein Drink

    I love to drink this shake for protein for a quick boost of healthy!  Did you notice no chocolate here in this smoothie?  Just so ya know...I am not giving up chocolate!  

    I eat healthy, {most of the time} but I gotta have my tempting chocolate goodies on the side and that's my resolution!  And I'm sticking to it. My resolution rocks right?

    At least I do my chocolate bursts in moderation and balance and that makes me happy!!  This smoothie tastes like dessert, so it's all good!

    How to make Instant Peanut Butter with PB2 

    Instant Peanut Butter  ----> Mix 2 tablespoons of PB2 with 1 tablespoon of water and stir until smooth!  It is also wonderful for baking either reconstituted or as a powder.  Very versatile and you can come up with your own creations if you so desire. 🙂

    PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that can be reconstituted with water or any liquid of your choice - juice, jelly/jam, or honey. Dip fruit directly into the powder, mix PB2 with a non-dairy frozen topping, make a milkshake or smoothie, or add it to a protein drink for improved flavor and increased protein content. 

    Oh and if you do want the chocolate, they have Chocolate PB2 for Chocolate lovers {like me}. It's the same great PB2, but with just enough chocolate to make it a delectable, guilt-free spread like peanut butter or add it to your smoothies!  

    This is a great smoothie for your post-workout.  Extra protein is necessary in building and maintaining muscle mass. If you are vegetarian, a lot of times getting enough protein in your diet is a challenge, so this is a great way to increase your protein intake.  Here's the recipe for our Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie! Enjoy!!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tablespoons PB2 Protein Powder or 2 tablespoons of Smooth Peanut Butter
    • 1 ripe banana, frozen or fresh - if using fresh - add ice cubes for sure
    • ½ cup almond milk or vanilla almond milk
    • ½ cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt or non-fat Greek yogurt
    • 3-5 ice cubes optional

    Instructions
     

    • Add all the ingredients to your smoothie blender and blend on low to medium high power until smooth. Serve immediately and Enjoy!!

    Notes

    • This smoothie was made with full fat Greek Yogurt and almond milk.  You can decrease the calories some with using lower calorie or zero-fat as other options.
    • Add some honey, maple syrup or Monkfruit sugar for more sweetness if needed.  If you don't use a ripe banana, you may have to add some. 
    • Using actual peanut butter versus the PB2 is more calories.  Two tablespoons of traditional peanut butter contains about 180 calories, while two tablespoons (approximately 12 grams) of PB2 powder, and contains just 53 calories.
