There was big news in our home last month.

Exciting news!

Life-changing news!

After 6 years MY SON IS NO LONGER ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS!

Of course now I have to force peanuts on him since he hates the flavor. Can you imagine hating peanut butter?! Well the one time he accidentally ingested it as an infant he had an allergic reaction and he hasn’t had a drop of peanut butter or peanut protein at all for 6 years. So it’s understandable for him to be squeamish.

Enter this Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie- WIN! Sweet and healthful and filled with lots of protein from peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and strawberry flavored milk, this smoothie is a kid tested and mom approved.

You can celebrate Valentine’s Day with a glass of strawberry milk, the rose-colored love potion you can feel in your bones! Does it come from pink cows? No, but it does have the same 9 essential nutrients as white milk. Now that’s something to love!

This layered smoothie is almost too pretty to eat, but you don’t have to layer it. Feel free to add all of the ingredients at once using your high-powered blender. Just be aware that if you blend it all at once, you may need to bump the milk up to 1/2 cup (instead of 1/3 cup) and start with the liquid on the bottom so you don’t clog your blender.

Everyone will love this Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie. Packed with Greek yogurt and flavored milk, customize this recipe with your favorite flavors!

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Layer:

• 1 frozen banana
• 3 Tablespoons peanut butter
• 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Berry Layer:

• 1/2 Cup frozen mixed berries (cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 Medjool date, pitted (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/3 Cup strawberry milk

Directions:

1. Combine frozen banana, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender until smooth. Pour into a glass; set aside.
2. Combine frozen berries, Medjool date (or other sweetener if using), and strawberry milk in a high powered blender until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer. Enjoy!

Notes:

• If your banana or berries aren't frozen add 3-4 ice cubes for thickness.
• Pitted Medjool dates are perfect for adding natural sweetness to smoothies. If you do not have these on hand you can omit or add your preferred sweetener (1 Tablespoon honey, agave, stevia, or berry jelly are some suggestions).
• May substitute plain white milk if desired for strawberry milk.
• This layered smoothie is almost too pretty to eat, but you don’t have to layer it. Feel free to add all of the ingredients at once using your high-powered blender. Just be aware that if you blend it all at once, you may need to bump the milk up to 1/2 cup (instead of 1/3 cup) and start with the liquid on the bottom so you don’t clog your blender.
