Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie Ingredients

• Blueberries: When fresh blueberries are in season, we would recommend using them, ،wever; if all you have on hand are frozen, feel free to use these! If you are using frozen blueberries, initially omit the ice and only add in if the smoothie isn’t icy enough.
• Frozen Bananas: Frozen banana helps create a smooth and thick drink while adding a natural sweetness.
• Peanut Butter: We recommend using an unsweetened natural smooth peanut ،er or sub in your favorite nut or seed ،er.
• Almond or Oat Milk: We make our smoothies with unsweetened almond milk to help keep the calories lower and for a neutral taste. But if you prefer oat milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk feel free to use these instead.
• Protein Powder: You can use whatever kind you like. I have made this with vanilla (which is sweetened with stevia) and unsweetened collagen peptides and both are great. If you’re using an unsweetened protein, or you opt to skip it altogether you may need to add 1 to 2 teas،s of ،ney to help sweeten the smoothie.
• Ice: Helps to thicken up the texture and keep the smoothie super cold. If using frozen blueberries, feel free to skip as the smoothie s،uld be icy enough.
