Call Me Nostalgic
Old identify unit of measurement dark 'n' white photos trigger the memory, my mom sending my sis in addition to me to the front end pace for lunch.
Nothing fancy: it was summer, it was only luncheon therefore a peanut butter sandwich in addition to a drinking glass of milk would do. The domestic dog waited nearby, develop to snap upwards errant crumbs.
So telephone telephone me nostalgic for simpler times, all wrapped upwards inwards a peanut butter in addition to jelly sandwich turned smoothie, no staff of life in addition to inwards fact, no jelly.
No jelly? How tin a smoothie gustation similar peanut butter in addition to jam without jam or jelly?
The Secret Ingredient.
The "jelly" flavor inwards this smoothie comes from frozen blueberries! I promise, you'll last surprised how much this smoothie combo mimics childhood's favorite sandwich!
What's In a PB&J Smoothie? Pantry Ingredients!
In all my recipes in addition to most well-written recipes, every component serves a purpose. Each 1 matters. Each 1 contributes to the overall dish. It's non that an component can't last substituted past times something else but when choosing the substitute, it's of import to sympathise why the master copy component was acquaint inwards the commencement place.
- Buttermilk is my go-to liquid for nearly all smoothies. It's creamy but low-fat amongst a welcome tang. Plus buttermilk keeps for weeks, therefore it's slow to occur on hand, non only for tender biscuits in addition to our house salad dressing addition

PB & J (PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY) SMOOTHIES
Time-to-table: 10 minutes
Makes two cups
- 1 loving cup (112g) buttermilk or whatever other dairy milk or constitute milk
- 1/2 loving cup (125g) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 loving cup (140g) frozen blueberries, broken apart into pocket-sized clumps if necessary
- 1 tablespoon dear (optional, gustation first, in addition to therefore add together exclusively if needed)
Combine all the ingredients except the dear inwards a blender in addition to procedure until smooth. Taste in addition to and therefore gain upwards one's heed whether the dear is needed.
Serve it up!
MAKE-AHEAD If demand be, mix everything except the blueberries in addition to shop overnight inwards the fridge correct inwards the blender. Just earlier serving, add together the blueberries in addition to process.

The other play a joke on is to procedure all the non-frozen ingredients first, in addition to therefore drib the frozen ingredients (here, the blueberries but inwards other smoothies, frozen banana or H2O ice cubes) through the lid 1 past times one. This drops the frozen ingredients correct downward the oculus into the blades in addition to industrial plant similar a champ!
Smoothies, of course, are a keen agency to exercise upwards random partial bags of frozen fruit. The trick, of course, later on opening the bags is preventing freezer burn, that's the H2O ice crystals that cast inwards frozen foods in addition to suspension them down, eventually causing them to deteriorate. My solution is super-simple: crease the fruit handbag over itself quite tightly, pushing out equally much air equally possible, in addition to therefore "seal" the handbag amongst a condom band. Again, it industrial plant similar a champ!
