Peanut Butter & Jelly Shake

Here's a recipe that I found online for a PB&J Protein Shake. It's really good.

Ingredients:

1 cup skimmed milk
1 cup of plain fat-free yogurt
1 tbsp of natural peanut butter
1 tbsp fruit jam (strawberry, grape, etc) – natural if possible
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

This recipe uses jam to not only flavor the drink but also sweeten it at the same time. It doesn't matter what type of jam you use but try to make sure it is natural if possible so that you reduce all those unnecessary added preservatives. Strawberry jam works best in my opinion for this particular recipe. Avoid raspberry jam in your shakes if you don't like raspberry seeds. One thing to try is replacing the vanilla protein powder with chocolate and use marmalade as your jam (just in case you aren't sure, marmalade is orange jam).

Other than the supplements powder, the protein in this particular homemade shake is being provided by the skimmed milk, plain fat-free yogurt and even a little from the natural peanut butter. You could use any other type of yogurt you like to change the flavor (you can use a fruit flavor matching the jam flavor, just remember to stick to natural yogurt)
 
Mmmmm, this sounds good...I think I will try it tomorrow. Should I mix it in the blender? I will pretty much try aything to be able to drink a protein shake at the moment. Haven't been able to drink a protein shake since my surgery 17 days ago.
