Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

The best way to kick off your morning is with a delicious and nutritious smoothie. This strawberry peanut butter banana smoothie recipe is a great way to start the day. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and vitamins to get you through your morning. The recipe is even vegan and gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy it.

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!

1. frozen strawberries - I prefer to buy 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.

Easiest meal ever!!

1. Add all wholesome ingredients into the blender and blitz.
2. You can add more or less almond milk to get your desired consistency.
3. You might have to use the tamper to push down some of those frozen goodies to get them mixed in.
4. Prep time = less than five minutes!

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