Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie Recipe for a Creamy Twist

Think raspberry shake with a little extra. This Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie delivers sweet raspberry flavor balanced by a touch of salty peanut butter. It’s dairy-free, vegan, and contains no added refined sugar.

I should start with a small disclaimer: I love bread. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from enjoying peanut butter and jam or the classic PB&J sandwich, and I’m not offering dietary advice here.

That said, many people feel uncomfortable eating gluten, and personally I have a habit of turning an entire loaf into multiple meals if it’s in the house. Because of that tendency, I avoid buying bread often.

Whether you eat toast every morning, avoid grains, or simply can’t be trusted with a loaf in your kitchen, this Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie is a great alternative. It captures the familiar raspberry jam flavor with a hint of peanut butter for a slightly salty-sweet combination in a drinkable form.

It’s refreshing, packed with wholesome ingredients, and provides a filling boost of protein from the peanut butter to help power your morning. It’s dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and free of refined sugars depending on the peanut butter you choose.

To keep things simple, this smoothie uses just four main ingredients: almond milk for the base, half a banana to add natural sweetness and thickness, raspberries for flavor and that jam-like quality, and peanut butter for richness and satiety. I used about 3/4 cup raspberries, but if you prefer a stronger raspberry presence you can increase to 1 cup—this will mellow the peanut butter note. Either amount is delicious and depends on your taste.

This drink is a fresh, flavorful twist on a classic combination and a nice change from a standard fruit smoothie.
