Vegan PB&J Smoothie
I love making this Vegan PB&J Smoothie with frozen berries, banana, and creamy peanut butter. It tastes just like my kids’ favorite sandwich, only blended up into a cold slurpable treat. It takes just minutes in the blender and is always a favorite in my house.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup frozen berries , I like to do a mix
- ½ a ripe frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup , or 3-4 pitted dates
- 1 cup dairy-free milk , use coconut milk for extra creamy
- ½ cup spinach , packed (optional for added greens)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and mix until well blended. Add more milk to get preferred thickness.
- Serve!
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making this peanut butter and jelly smoothie is to always use frozen bananas and berries. It makes the smoothie thick and creamy like soft-serve, and my kids love that texture! If I only have fresh fruit, I just throw in a handful of ice cubes to keep it cold and frosty.
- Adjust the sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your fruit, you might not need much maple syrup. I always taste before adding any sweetener.
- Add chia or flaxseeds: For an extra boost of fiber and healthy fats, I sometimes blend in a teaspoon of chia or ground flaxseed.
- Sneak in more greens: Spinach blends in easily without changing the flavor. If you’re feeling bold, kale can work too—just remove the tough stems first.
