This past week, I’ve been spending my afternoons prepping the gardens/weeding/planting annuals. Wasn’t it just Christmas? Man…can’t believe it’s almost April, y’all! With the weather starting to warm up over here, the colder the beverages, the better. I started making iced coffees a couple of weeks ago, and now, I just can’t get enough of smoothies/shakes.
As far as this shake goes, peanut butter and jelly is a favorite of mine. Move over ham sandwiches…if you offer me a PB&J, I’m going for it! I wanted to try these flavors in a shake, and while I used frozen fruit instead of jelly, the flavors (strawberry/peanut butter) work beautifully together. This was so refreshing, and filling (thanks to the protein powder). It’s definitely a goodie!

Have you tried the Syntha-6 Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder? It’s so yummy. I never in my entire life thought I’d say that about protein powder. They always smelled and tasted like an old basement to me.
The mochachino is really good too. I just haven’t been brave enough to add anything except spinach to it because of the specific flavors.
Anyway, really long comment to say I’ll try adding some strawberries to the chocolate pb protein to mix up my usual smoothies!
