This Peanut Butter Protein Bliss Smoothie contains no actual peanut butter. Odd, I know, but I needed a way to cure my peanut butter cravings in a controlled, less-fat kind of way.
Because let's be honest, I can't be trusted with a jar of peanut butter.
I just can't.
And this week my PB cravings were off the charts. The 7-Year-Old requests a peanut butter (no jelly) sandwich almost every day for lunch, and I just couldn't take it anymore! So I made myself this smoothie a few days to help keep me from overdosing on actual peanut butter (which I have done many, many times before) and it hit the spot.
This morning I made it again and added a small sprinkle of cocoa nibs on top.
They made it much prettier to photograph and I loved the little crunch they added at the end.

Hi Roni! Can you tell me what your favorite protein powder is?
Yes! https://amzn.to/2NnlUu5 is my fav because it's unflavored and I can do anything I want with it. 🙂
So sorry for the late reply!
