Happy Tuesday!
Today I am going to share an extremely easy & delicious protein shake recipe. This protein shake is great to drink for a quick breakfast or after a workout. And who doesn't love peanut butter and jelly? It's a classic combination. But my version is a much healthier alternative! I used powdered peanut butter (you can find it here if you are interested in purchasing it). I like using powdered pb2 because it has 45% less fat than regular peanut butter but you still get the flavor; I tend to use it in smoothies & baked goods. I also used frozen strawberries in my recipe; this was my alternative to jam. By using fruit instead of jelly, my shake had a lot less sugar. Strawberries have a lot of other health benefits as well. They are high in vitamin C, which is beneficial for your immune system, and they are a good source of fiber.
Anyway, let's get to the recipe!
