Naturally Sweetened Peanut Butter Fudge Smoothie

By

I love having smoothies for breakfast, but once you start using protein powders or instant breakfast packets, the sugar is on the rise, and with my low blood sugar, I crash 30 minutes later. No good. Honestly not really good for anybody, blood sugar problems or not.

I was on Pinterest one day; actually I’m there all the time, go over and follow me, and I saw a recipe from one of my favorite bloggers (Minimalistbaker). I had to recreate it and make it allergy friendly for Kelsie! It’s delicious and we all love having these in the mornings. I kind of make a triple batch and the girls and I drink these for breakfasts on the go.

  3. This looks great! I make smoothies with banana, peanut butter, cocoa, and dairy frequently, and the dates sound like a great addition, I will be trying this!

    • There is a bit of a flavor, but it’s more there for the added sweetness. I’m sure you could add in honey, agave, or even maple syrup. Or taste it without, still just as yummy, not as sweet. 🙂

  7. We love smoothies at my house, this sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing at What’d You Do This Weekend? I look forward to seeing you again next Monday!

    • Smoothies are a best friend to those who are in a hurry or those that just want a way to “eat” their greens! We love them too. 🙂

  8. Wow…this sounds really delicious! It can’t be healthy! 🙂

    Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!

    • Sometimes protein powders, because of the added sugars make me have a sugar crash. For most people it’s completely fine to add the protein powder. 🙂

  11. Now this takes a smoothie to a whole different level! Thanks for linking up at the Weekend Blog Hop at My Flagstaff Home!
