Notes
Explore these extra ingredients for a more exotic flavor or a nutritional boost
- Dates, Figs, or Cherries: Use instead of the frozen berries to elevate it with a deep, jam-like flavor profile
- Greek Yogurt: Makes it extra creamy for a peanut butter milkshake consistency.
- Rolled Oats: Provides a boost of fiber and protein while creating a thick, malty consistency.
- Protein Powder: Make it a peanut butter jelly shake by adding a serving of protein powder to make it a balanced drink.
- Chia Seeds or Flaxseed: Both ingredients provide a big boost of healthy Omega-3s, fiber, and protein, making it a nutritionally balanced meal.
- Honey: Add it to the blender for extra sweetness or swirl it around the glass for a fun visual effect.
