This South Beach Phase Two smoothie is a great way to start the day or a great boost of protein after training. It tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! (without the bread, obviously)
I have been wanting to have smoothies again, but the ones I like are super heavy on the fruit sugars. If I have that I'm going to want to go on a sugar rampage that would make Godzilla look like a mild breeze through Tokyo. I stumbled upon a Banana Split Smoothie recipe (and I posted it on my facebook page). We gave it a shot because I was hoping the peanut butter would add enough protein so that it doesn't spike my sugar cravings.
The verdict? Meh. It was missing something. So after a little experimentation, I came up with this version which makes two servings
No Jelly Required
Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie
Ingredients for 2 servings
1 1/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: I like Chobani 0%
1/3 cup natural unsalted peanut butter
2 medium very ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 teaspoon honey- optional
Directions
Put milk, yogurt and peanut butter in a blender and blend until incorporated
Add frozen banana slice, raspberries and honey (optional) and blend until combined
I did something very similar on Friday, but it was too banana-ey for me. I did like the idea of berry and peanut butter so I might try it again sans banana.

I like banana myself.. but if I remember correctly, you’re not much of a banana fan… right?
