Straight from the states we’ve got your perfect peanut butter smoothie recipe. We use mixed frozen berries for our jelly flavour. So rich in antioxidants they protect you against nasty diseases like Alzheimers, diabetes and even the C word.
Peanut butter is played by, well, peanut butter. The reformed bad boy. Formerly known as a caloric monster that people should diet from, it’s having a backflipping renaissance. It’s nutritional profile hasn’t changed, it’s still generous in calories and high in fat. But we’re recognising that it’s the good kind. Plus it’s dense in protein and fibre. As well as vitamin E, b-6 and magnesium too. We don’t recommend eating it by the jar but a few heaped teaspoons in your smoothies or on celery is a brilliant way to enjoy its nutritional benefits while calming cravings.
Our four ingredient smoothie finishes with potassium rich coconut water. That’s hydration and subtle sweetness. Coconut water really plays well off nut butters so no other sweetener is necessary.
