Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

Nostalgia in a glass!  I don’t know about you, but PB & J totally takes me back.  I remember exactly how those scrumptious PB & J sandwiches tasted in my lunchbox at school.  It is truly a match made in heaven.

Enjoy that same flavor, but in smoothie form (and without the gluten LOL)!  This smoothie is great as a pre or post workout energy drink because it’s packed with tons of plant based protein and healthy fats from Peanuts and Flaxseed (plus it’s oil and salt free!).  I’m totally in love with this healthy jelly  –  it’s perfectly sweet yet free of refined sugar!!  The chia seeds are essential and give the jelly its gelatinous texture.

I like to munch on this smoothie with a bowl & spoon! Smoothie Bowl time!
