  How To Make A Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Shake

  To make this peanut butter and jelly protein shake, start by grabbing your blender and adding a splash of milk as the base. Spoon in a generous dollop of Greek yogurt—this is what makes the smoothie extra thick and creamy. Toss in a handful or two of frozen mixed berries for that fruity “jelly” flavor, then break in a frozen banana for natural sweetness and a silky texture. Add a scoop of powdered peanut butter (or almond butter if you prefer a twist) and finish it off with a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost the nutrition. Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy, pour it into a glass, and enjoy the grown-up take on your favorite childhood sandwich in smoothie form.
