One of my favorite ways to start the day is with smoothies! They are so easy to make and perfect for the whole family.
I love the smiles I get when I give my kids a smoothie like today’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie. I let the kids think I’m giving them dessert for breakfast all the while feeling good about giving it to them.
Of course, smoothies are great any time of day. I love a protein packed smoothie after my workout, and they also makes a great afternoon snack for the kids. (And this smoothie packs a whopping 20grams of protein a serving!)
Lately, I’ve been powering up our smoothies with Jif™ Creamy Peanut Butter and Dannon Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt.
I pick them up at Walmart.
I love that Jif is the perfect combination of creamy and the fresh-roasted peanut taste I love. I was so excited to learn that it is non-GMO and gluten free. With seven grams of protein a serving, it helps us get the protein we need.
Dannon Yogurt is made with natural ingredients and delicious by itself or with toppings. I love using it as a substitute in baking recipes!
A great blender makes whipping up smoothies so simple!
If you do not own a blender or need a new one to replace your wedding present you received 15 years ago, check out this Oster® Blend-N-Go® MyBlend®. You can just fill, blend & go!
This smoothie is so easy to make.
Just add the milk to your blender.
And then add the flax seed and cocoa powder.
Add Dannon Vanilla Yogurt.
And then Jif Creamy Peanut Butter. Blend it all together and then add ice to taste! So easy!

You are speaking my language Wendy – PB and chocolate are such a winning smoothie combo and I love the toppings!
Thanks Alisa!
I love smoothies! And you can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter in my book 🙂 Love that this smoothie is packed with protein too!
Me too! Thanks so much Sonali!
You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter! Love this smoothie!
Thank you! I couldn’t agree more!
This looks delicious and I’m SO happy there’s no banana in here! Most smoothies – especially with PB & chocolate include it and I am not a banana fan! Yipee for me!
Thanks Jessica!
Ohhh… chocolate and peanut butter is on a dream combination! Looks amazing.
Thanks so much Julie!
This is yummy as I’ve had before, however, the Dannon low fat vanilla yogurt is super high in sugar so the Oikos Triple Zero would be the better option. I usually just get plain low fat yogurt and add vanilla extract and sweeten with Stevia or maple syrup. I also recently learned that people with estrogen related breast cancer are advised to stay away from flax seed, so perhaps hemp or chia might be better for them. Just thought I’d add that because I was surprised to learn that. I also make this with all natural sunflower butter from Trader Joe’s. Peanut butter gives me heartburn, but I still eat on occasion because sometimes you just want PB!
