Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 1 servings

  • 20 frozen strawberries

  • 1 frozen sliced banana

  • ½ cup water, or as desired

  • ¼ cup vanilla fat-free yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

  1. Place strawberries, banana, water, and yogurt in a blender; blend until smooth, gradually adding more water if a thinner smoothie is desired. Add peanut butter blend until smooth.

Cook's Notes:

You can add 2 packets sugar substitute, if desired.

I like my smoothie thick enough to feel substantial in order to replace a meal. I eat it with a spoon, like ice cream almost, therefore I only use about 4 ounces of water. If you like it thinner, add more water.

In order to cut calories, I sometimes use sugar-free peanut butter syrup to supplement all the peanut butter I'd like to use but don't. Have used powdered peanut butter (PB2(R)) also, it just depends what I have on hand.
