Peanut Butter Jelly Smoothie Recipe

Peanut Butter Jelly Smoothie

Wholesome Cove
A good peanut butter jelly smoothie recipe tastes exactly like the sandwich you grew up eating, minus the bread and the sticky fingers. This version blends creamy peanut butter with sweet berries, a ripe banana, and a splash of milk for a thick, milkshake-like texture you can drink through a straw.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rubber spatula - For scraping down the sides
  • Freezer-safe bags - Optional, for storing extra frozen banana or berries
  • Silicone ice cube tray - Optional, for freezing leftover smoothie portions

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana - fresh or frozen (about 120g or 4 oz), peeled and broken into chunks
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries - 150g
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries - 60g, or mixed berries
  • 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter - 65g, plus more for drizzling on top
  • 1 cup milk of choice - 240ml, dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt - 120g
  • 1 tablespoon honey - 15ml, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds - 10g, optional
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder - optional
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes - 65g, or more depending on desired thickness

Instructions
 

  • Prep your banana and berries. If using a fresh banana, peel and break it into chunks. Let a frozen banana sit at room temperature briefly if needed. Measure out the frozen berries.
  • Add liquid ingredients first. Pour the milk and vanilla Greek yogurt into the base of your blender.
  • Add the banana chunks, frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, and peanut butter. Add chia seeds and protein powder if using.
  • Drizzle in the honey and add the ice cubes.
  • Secure the lid and blend on low for 15 seconds, then gradually increase to high and blend for another 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness. Pour into glasses and drizzle extra peanut butter on top before serving.

Notes

  • Freeze your banana ahead of time: Peel and slice bananas before freezing so they're ready to blend straight from the freezer without any extra prep.
  • Use natural peanut butter: It has a cleaner flavor and blends more smoothly than versions with added sugar or hydrogenated oils.
  • Don't skip the liquid-first order: Adding milk and yogurt before the frozen fruit and peanut butter helps the blender work through everything faster.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually: Ripe bananas and berries already bring natural sweetness, so add honey a little at a time rather than all at once.
  • Add ice slowly: Too much ice up front can make the smoothie difficult to blend and hard to fix later. Start with less and add more if needed.
  • Blend in short bursts if needed: Pausing to scrape down the sides prevents pockets of unblended peanut butter at the bottom.
  • Swap the nut butter for allergies: Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all work as substitutes for peanut butter.
  • Use a mix of berries: Combining strawberries and raspberries gives a closer flavor match to classic grape or mixed berry jelly than one berry alone.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation is normal.
  • Freezer tip: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for up to 3 months. Blend the cubes with a splash of milk when you're ready to drink it.
