    This Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie is like a PB&J in a glass.  It's full of strawberries, bananas, and natural peanut butter.  Add chia seeds for a nutritional boost.  Simple, healthy, and nutrient-dense with only five ingredients. {gluten free, whole30, paleo, vegan, dairy free}

    This gluten free breakfast smoothie is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a glass!  Comfort smoothie to the rescue. I never tire of new smoothie recipes.  My kids love them and they are a great way to add some variety and spice to your breakfasts. They especially love this Raspberry Smoothie Bowl.

    The strawberry and banana combo is a classic but when we add in a healthy tablespoon or two of nut butter we add protein and healthy fats.  I love using natural nut butters that contain only nuts with no added sugar.  The protein helps make it more of a balanced meal that can help us to stay full and no added refined sugar. Yes!

    To give this breakfast smoothie more POWER I added chia seeds.  These nutrition powerhouses are full of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.  You can barely taste them and most likely no one in your family will even notice they are there! 

    Ingredients

    1. frozen strawberries - I prefer to buy the frozen organic berries and they are way cheaper than fresh.
    2. banana -  Use a ripe banana for extra sweetness. You can also use frozen bananas but then you would need to use fresh strawberries.
    3. natural peanut butter - I prefer natural nut butters that only contain nuts.  
    4. chia seeds - The superfood of this smoothie and loaded with nutrients.
    5. almond milk - You can substitute cow's milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.

    Instructions

    Easiest meal ever!! Add all wholesome ingredients into the blender and blitz.  You can add more or less almond milk to get your desired consistency.

    You might have to use the tamper to push down some of those frozen goodies to get them mixed in.  Prep time = less than five minutes!

    Smoothie Substitutions

    Smoothies are great because you can add whatever you have on hand.

    • No Strawberries?  Add any type of fresh berries you have like blackberries, blueberries or raspberries
    • No Peanut Butter? Use almond, cashew, sunflower, or pecan butter.
    • No Almond Milk?  Use coconut, oat, or cow's milk.
    • No Chia Seeds? Leave them out or add flaxseeds instead.
