So it's taken me almost a month to use my precious PB2 for anything other than PB2 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls but finally I made what I've been thinking about making for weeks - the PB2 Smoothie. Katie makes it all the time and while it sounded delicious, I just love the cookie dough balls too much to use the PB2 for anything else. When she returned from a recent Seattle trip with FOUR jars for me, however, I figured I could spare some for a smoothie.
So the other day I made the smoothie. Wow! That's just about all I can say. Wow! It is so creamy and delicious. It has the taste and consistency of a milkshake. A healthy milkshake! It is going to join the regular rotation of my favorite dessert-like smoothies - Banana Chamomile, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, and the latest - Carrot Cake. I already have plans for some variations so I'll call this the Basic PB2 Smoothie.
If you don't have any PB2, you can substitute regular peanut butter. (And then order yourself some PB2 today!)
Basic PB2 Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Small handful ice cubes
Directions:
1. Combine almond milk, PB2, agave, and xanthan gum (if using) in your blender.
2. Add frozen banana chunks and ice; blend until smooth.
