PB&J Protein-Packed Smoothie

Peanut butter jelly time!

This protein-packed PB&J smoothie gets a boost of plant-based protein from hemp hearts! Skip the protein powder (and weeding through those lengthy ingredient lists) and add this low FODMAP option instead. Choose a lactose-free milk to keep your smoothie low in FODMAPs.

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 1):

  • 1 cup of your choice of milk

  • 2 tablespoons of hemp hearts (adds 6.5 g of protein!)

  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

  • 2 tbsp of peanut butter (or this sugar-free peanut powder)

  • Handful of spinach

  • 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries

  • 1 small frozen banana

  • Ice, as needed

DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Combine milk, hemp hearts, chia seed, PB2, and spinach in a high-speed blender

  2. Add frozen blueberries, banana and any ice, and blend again

  3. Enjoy!
