This smoothie is super tasty and an easy way to meet your protein goals.
I love this smoothie – not only is it delicious, but it clocks in at well over 40 grams of protein, includes omega-3s, and loads of fiber. What more could a woman in her 40s want, am I right? Added bonus: you’ll be able to ignore the fear-mongering around not having enough protein or collagen in your diet for a while.
If you’re in need of a new blender, our Breville Super Q has really served us well, and we use it all the time.
Healthy PB&J Smoothie:
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (I like Fage)
- 4 tbsp peanut butter powder
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1-2 cups cold water or milk

I’m using water because I didn’t have any milk or almond milk on hand, but you can choose whatever you like best (just be aware that this will change the nutrition info I provide as a guide below). See Kids Smoothie – PB&J for a kid-friendly version of this recipe. Pro tip: make both smoothies now and only wash your blender once.
Pro(tein) Tip: I used a Happy Mammoth Collagen Gut Repair Powder instead of a traditional protein powder, which only netted 7 grams. If you want more protein, use a traditional powder for much higher macros. I love Vital Protein, which clocks in at 18+ grams of protein per serving, or Vital Proteins Whey, clocking in at 29 grams of protein per serving.
Recipe:
-
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
-
Add one cup of water or milk first, then add more as needed to blend.
-
Blend well so that there aren’t any clumps of frozen kale stuck in your straw.
-
Pour into your favorite cup and enjoy!
