Peanut Butter & Greens Smoothie

5/18/2018

Prior to my first Whole 30, smoothies were my every day breakfast. I love that I can take them on the go and pack so much nutrients into something that tastes so yummy. I'll be honest, during my first round of Whole 30, I didn't really stick to the rules. I made sure my smoothies were compliant, but I still had them pretty often. During my second round, I obeyed and traded my daily smoothie in for egg based breakfasts and I noticed a HUGE difference. Loading up my mornings with protein and healthy fats kept me fuller longer. I also noticed that starting my day off with so much fruit often set me up to have quite the sweet tooth in the afternoon. However, I still LOVE my smoothies.

My Peanut Butter and Greens Smoothie is full of both good fats from the homemade cashew milk and avocado, protein from the Amazing Grass Superfood Powder, and greens from the spinach. I used the peanut butter flavored powder that is only sold at Whole Foods, but you can find this Chocolate Peanut Butter Powder from them at amazon. You could also use this. If you aren't looking to replicate the peanut butter flavor, I really like this protein powder.

I topped my smoothie with chia seeds, slivered almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, and bee pollen. I get my bee pollen from a local farm! Great for all of us who suffer from seasonal allergies!

I also love throwing on some granola or fresh berries! I LOVE the Thrive Market grain-free granola, but this would be SO yummy on top of this smoothie.
