This simple peanut butter berry smoothie recipe will make breakfast for two. It’s refreshing and fruity with a satisfying hint of peanut butter. If you’re looking for something more filling though, you could always add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. And of course just halve the recipe if you’re making it for yourself.
Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie
This is an older recipe from the archives that was in dire need of new photography. Updating older posts is a great excuse for me to make older recipes. I forget how good some of them are! And it gives me the opportunity to tweak those that maybe aren’t up to par.
If you’re a fan of this peanut butter berry smoothie and are looking for some similar breakfast ideas, I’ve got you covered:
- PB&J Smoothies for Two – very similar
- Strawberry Date Smoothie – only a few ingredients and super yummy
- Peanut Butter Protein Acai Bowl – filling and delicious
Can’t really go wrong with the fruit-peanut-butter combo if you ask me!
This smoothie is easily customizable. You can use any nut milk you’d like—or cow’s milk, you do you, boo. Almond butter can be used instead of peanut butter. Any berries can be used. And add any little “boosters” you’d like: chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp hearts, protein powder. Get creative!
You could also turn this into a smoothie bowl and top it with granola. If I want a heartier meal than a smoothie, I usually go this route. I’ll add in some protein powder as well to keep me satisfied until lunch. Some of my favorite smoothie bowl recipes from the archives:
- Kale & Spinach Acai Bowl – one of my favorite acai bowls, I make this one all the time!
- Matcha Green Smoothie Bowl – for the matcha lovers out there
- Blueberry Acai Bowl – simple and delicious with a coconut crunch

That looks and sounds delicious!
It is, you’d love it!
have you tried PB2? http://www.bellplantation.com/ makes it. All the goodness of peanut butter, but none of the fat. I use this in my smoothies ALL THE TIME and it is awesome. It works really well in what I call my “Elvis Smoothie” , which uses PB2, A whole banana, coconut water, greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder + chia seed. You can also mix PB2 with water or milk to make PB for toast. Yummy. I am a PB-oholic too… I understand completely 🙂
I’d never heard of PB2–now I’m going to have to try it! 🙂

Thanks so much, I’m flattered! 🙂
I like adding spirilina to my smoothies the only disadvantage is that it makes your smoothie green
With kale being so popular these days, I wouldn’t say it’s a disadvantage at all–green smoothies are in! 🙂
This smoothie is delicious!! How many calories would you say are in this smoothie?
I’ll add nutrition info to the post by the end of the weekend so you can get all the deets 🙂
Thank you for adding the nutrition info!
Of course! 🙂
So according to the nutritional values for one smoothie it would be half the calories and half carbs correct?
No, I did the nutrition info for one serving–sorry, that’s a little confusing!
