Notes
To thicken, add 1 - 2 cups of ice.
Milk options: feel free to use either dairy or plant-based milk that fits your dietary restrictions. Dairy will will provide you with additional protein.
Regular peanut butter can be used instead of powdered peanut butter, HOWEVER, it will significantly increase the calorie content of the smoothie. If using regular peanut butter, choose a good quality nut butter that contains just nuts and salt, and doesn't included added oils or refined sugar.
