Whenever I make this smoothie for the gang (three sisters, my mom, Erik and wildly fortunate nearby loiterers), I’m ridiculously pleased by their reactions.

The thing is, no one ever expects a beautifully pink, creamy, seemingly Strawberry Members Only smoothie to have this amazing peanut butter kick to it. It’s this unexpected surprise that brightens up people’s days (and alleviates their fear of members-only clubs).

Then, the best part: a smile that you haven’t seen on those faces since they were kids. That’s what this protein-packed strawberry peanut butter smoothie does: it brings out the happy kid in everyone. *happy sigh*

You take a sip and you’re just reminded of the simpler days. Like…

  • the beauty of a bunch of colorful balloons floating against a clear blue sky
  • peanut butter and strawberry jelly all over your face because you’re young and haven’t learned to be self-conscious yet
  • running around with your friends until your lungs burn and it’s time for a nap (girl… do I miss those!)
  • and so much more.

This protein-rich smoothie is made of just 5 ingredients, super quick and easy to make, and has 19 grams of protein per serving. All you have to do is load up your blender with the ingredients: strawberries, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, almond milk and frozen bananas. You blend it until it’s smooth and rich like buttah. But not… because that’s just weird. Okay then, just blend it until it’s smooth like… um… wait for it… a smoothie. Heh. Heh.

Pour into two very lucky cups, pop in some cute chevron-print straws, drizzle with peanut butter and top with slices of strawberry. Then sip and sip until you’re back in your space jammies and watching Saturday morning cartoons again.

Super sparkly (like Lisa Frank sticker-level) bonus, this childhood bliss-inducing, protein-packed strawberry peanut butter smoothie helps you build strong muscles.

You know, for when you grow up. 😉

    Hmm… Definitely a yes to the PB&Js (with strawberry jelly, so I’m completely feeling you on this recipe), but also s’mores, hot chocolate (with a piece of buttered toast for dipping), a friendly game of Red Rover, flashlight tag and/or simon says. These pics are glorious as always. You, my friend, have a way with peanut butter 😉

    Wow! This smoothie is gorgeous – I can see why everyone loves it 😉 & a favorite childhood food memory is when my dad fixed me a toasted blueberry bagel with PB and delivered it to school as a surprise! (Well, really he forgot to pack my lunch, but I didn’t hold it against him 😉 )

    Your writing is always funny – it feels like I’m right there with you! You know what food reminds me of my childhood? Skittles. Or watermelon, it always brings me back to when summer was still actually summer in the Netherlands and we could chill under a parasol all day…. Oh, the life.

    Haha! I still get peanut butter and jelly all up on my face… guess I never grew up. Or I just don’t care to be self aware. Or use a napkin and eat like a lady. (<– Overrated) 😉 LOVE this smoothie, Demeter! Typical strawberry just got a serious upgrade with the addition of peanut butter!! I am regretting the boring breakfast I just ate and totally wishing I would have stopped by here first! Smoothie heaven up in here! Pinned! Cheers, friend!
