Hello! I get a lot of requests for protein packed recipes without protein powder (I used to bake with it all the time). So, I whipped up a great breakfast (or snack) smoothie below.
First. I have a little challenge for you. Okay, it’s kinda for me but I’m inviting you to play too.
Seven Minute Stretch Challenge
I don’t stretch enough so I’m challenging myself to stretch for seven minutes every day this week. When I got back from my run yesterday I turned on the TV and randomly flipped past VH1’s Music Video morning fun.
Sam Smith’s Stay with Me was on and it’s perfect for some cool down stretching. That’s 3.5 minutes
And an oldie…
Now you’re all loose and chill and ready for breakfast and your day!!
I whipped up this Peanut Butter protein smoothie as part of a new partnership with the Peanut Board. I’m pretty excited since I’m already a big fan of their products 
Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Tb Peanut Butter
- 6oz. Greek yogurt (honey or vanilla)
- 2 Tb. oats
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup milk (or milk sub)
- ice
Blend and enjoy!
This is a great super quick breakfast or snack option because it has protein, healthy fat and whole grain carbs. Throw it in a mason jar for transport. #Boom
Question: Did you stretch today?
Disclaimer: I’m working with the Peanut Board to spread the word (and PB). All opinions are my own.
I’ve made this two days in a row – yum! But I did notice it was a little tangy, but chalked it up to the yogurt. Finally realized… you meant one 6 oz yogurt, not 16 oz of yogurt. Yes, I had added that much. lol I will read more carefully next time.
If I hadn’t seen your comment, I would have made it with 16oz of yogurt, too! I bought a 16 oz package today for this.
What kind of oats (not brand, but type) and what’s your preferred brand of yogurt?
Yup but not enough; so planning on having an hour long stretch session with my trainer after work this evening.
PB is my fav!
So looking forward to trying this out. Love that it doesn’t have protein powder. Thank you for the stretching tips too!
Yes! Love smoothies with peanut butter! I sometimes make a similar smoothie to what you posted, but add strawberries. Delicious! 🙂
Going to yoga soon so I will then!
Some people do say I eat too much pb so I think I might start posting that picture next to me when I eat! Great recipe, I’ll be trying it for sure
I’m fairly certain there is not such thing as too much peanut butter. 🙂
Should but did not stretch yet. Tonight for sure. PB on bagel is my pre race go to. Oh and I love nutter butters. Not the wafers but the cookies. That counts right?
Yum! I might also throw in a tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder to see if it tastes like a peanut butter cup!
I am so bad at stretching!! I need to make it more regular in my life!
That’s literally my perfect smoothie – yum! The honey greek with pb and banana , oh yes! I didn’t stretch – I HATE it – and need to do better at it, as well.
Ughhh I never stretch, and I know I need to. Thanks for the reminder…I suppose I will have to join you in your challenge. Merrrp. :-/
I could seriously live on peanut butter. I did not stretch today and I’m paying for it now. Sitting in an office all day and mending a foot injury is not a good combination after 9 miles.
SWEET! I am not a fan of most protein powders. Soy does not agree with me….this looks great! I have all the ingredients but the nanner and the almond milk. Looks like I know where I’m headed at lunch….Trader Joes!
I am terrible about stretching so I will have to challenge myself to this!
I did stretch today! I typically have a really hard time squeezing it in, but today it just felt so good. It also ended with a bunch of peanut butter thrown on whole-grain toast. Yum!
That sounds easy to make and super yummy!
I’ll be stretching and foam rolling this evening after my bike ride. Just a short one after I pick her up from the bike shop. Need to make sure the tune up covered everything she needs for Ironman on Sunday =)
I stretch and foam roll every day otherwise I get the dead butt syndrome and it takes forever to bring that sucker back to life!
Is it weird that I feel like I’m stretching when I’m swimming. I have a date with yoga for runners & the foam roller tonight.
Yum! I’m actually about to cook up some breakfast myself. This looks delicious!
I DID stretch today actually! I’ve definitely been neglecting my stretching & foam rolling lately and it was AMAZING!
Recipe looks great! I love having non-protein powder recipes. Protein powder is okay sometimes but I prefer real food.
I didn’t stretch today, yet but I will. Went to my physio yesterday and got “the talk” on proper stretching.
Peanut Butter = MY LIFE. Eating it right now as I type.
I’m obsessed with all of Sam Smith’s stuff, so excited his new album came out today!
I love that you were eating it while reading RER 🙂
