FAQs

Can you blend peanut butter and jelly? ›

Combine all of the flavors of the classic Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich in a smoothie and your kids will discover their new go-to snack or special treat.

Nut butter, seed butter or peanut butter can also be added to the blender to thicken a smoothie and add a nutty taste. I love adding nut butter to banana smoothies or chocolate smoothies. If you're not sure what nut butter is, my top 2 favorites are almond butter and cashew butter.

Yes! The carbohydrates from the banana will give you energy, and then the protein and healthy fats from the peanut butter will keep you full. Putting peanut butter in your banana smoothie makes it filling AND delicious. It's a match made in heaven.

Add greek yogurt

You can use ½ cup less liquid and add ¼ to ½ cup greek yogurt to your smoothies instead. This base has a thick, creamy consistency and is a good source of protein. If you freeze yogurt in ice cube trays, this creates an even thicker texture.

Standard ice cubes are great for adding thickness to smoothies but bear in mind you will need a powerful enough blender to crush the ice (more on this later). For the cleanest flavor also try and avoid adding tap water ice cubes if possible. Opt for cubes made from purified, filtered water instead.

Immersion Blender: Power blend that natural peanut butter right in the jar itself! At least, that's the idea. Food Processor or Blender: Scoop out the natural peanut butter from the jar and into either a food processor or blender, then blend.

Instructions for Classic PBJ

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread. Spread jelly or jam on the other slice of bread. Put the two slices of bread together, with the peanut butter and jelly facing in. If you'd like, you can slice the sandwich diagonally.
