Recipe details

Yields: 4 cups

Prep time: 5 min

Carbs per cup: 22g

Ingredients

• 2 large bananas
• 3 cups frozen berries (this one has strawberries)
• 6 tablespoons nut butter (we used almond)
• 4 tablespoons hemp protein
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Goji berries
• Chia seeds
• Unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Fill the 5-cup blender up to the 5-cup mark with unsweetened almond milk blend.
2. Sprinkle chia seeds, a few goji berries and some unsweetened shredded coconut (these are relatively low carb if sprinkled on and let kids think that they have more freedom with food in a really constrictive world).
3. This is packed with protein and perfect for picky eaters—just call it a milkshake, and they’ll slurp it down.

Smart carb choice 💡

• This PB&J smoothie is packed with protein and healthy fats to help prevent blood sugar spikes while keeping energy levels steady.
• The natural sugars from bananas release more slowly when paired with protein and fat, making this a great option before a workout or an active day.
