Without intentionally doing so, I’ve managed to devise, make and photograph three recipes showcasing PB + J flavors in one week. Coincidence? Perhaps. Induced by comfort-food cravings? Likely. Delicious? Undoubtedly.
By the end of this week, you’ll be able to enjoy PB+ J’s under the guise of breakfast, lunch + dessert. And guess what: the PB + J breakfast recipe actually tastes more like dessert than breakfast.
My post-morning-yoga routine went as usual this past Monday morning; arrive home in euphoric state, look in the mirror to passively observe the state of my sweaty yoga coif without feeling the need to interfere with its oddities {which appear in abundance, I might add}, and toss a few ingredients into the blender in hopes of creating a healthy and tasty smoothie. Now, if this were any post-morning-yoga routine, I would have been pleased with the smoothie but, unbeknownst to me, the ingredients I tossed into the blender on this particular morning yielded something fantastic. A smoothie so tasty it traverses into milkshake territory. However, it still has all the healthy balance of the famed morning drink.
A smoothie in milkshake’s clothes, perhaps?
While this smoothie leans more on the peanut butter side of things, the sweetness from the jam rounds out the overall flavor and creates a beverage that reaches addictive heights. Smooth, creamy, rich, and dreamy + it will keep your belly content and happy for hours.
Peanut Butter, Oat + Jam Smoothie | Vegan + Gluten-Free (Serves 1)
◊ 1 medium banana
◊ 1/2 cup sweetened vanilla almond milk
◊ 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
◊ 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
◊ 1 heaping tablespoon jam of choice {I used strawberry}
◊ 5-7 ice cubes
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Yummy! I look forward to trying this. I like that it has ingredients that I usually have even when I need to go grocery shopping.
