There was a smoothie shop in my hometown that made a peanut butter and jelly smoothie that I couldn’t get enough of. It was so good, I knew I had to try and recreate it at home.

Well, needless to say, I did! I love having this healthy smoothie for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or whenever I’m feeling like I need a large dose of fruit.

If you’re a fan of peanut butter and jelly like me, you’re going to love this easy smoothie recipe (you’ll love these peanut butter and chia jam stuffed dates too).

This smoothie is packed with all the delicious flavors of PB&J, but in smoothie form, made with just 4 simple ingredients (and NO banana!).

It’s filling, healthy, delicious, thick + creamy, and super easy to make. So let’s get right into it!

Why You’ll Love This Smoothie Recipe

  • Delicious Flavor: All the flavors of pb&j in smoothie form. Sign me up!
  • Healthy Ingredients: I use mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Peanut butter provides healthy fats and protein.
  • Vegan & Dairy-Free: Perfect for anyone following a plant-based diet.
  • Naturally Sweetened: I love adding Medjool dates to this recipe to add a naturally sweet taste. Dates are high in fiber and minerals.

Ingredients Needed

  • Frozen Mixed Berries: I use a mix of frozen wild blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Feel free to use just one berry, or do a mix like me. Just make sure they’re frozen!
  • Non-Dairy Milk: Choose your favorite dairy-free milk (or regular milk if you’re not dairy-free). I like to use soy milk since it’s creamy and high in protein.
  • Peanut Butter: For that classic peanut butter flavor! Want to make your own peanut butter? Check out my recipe for homemade peanut butter here.
  • Medjool Dates: Naturally sweetens the smoothie without any refined sugar or need for banana.

How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

  1. Combine Ingredients: To a high-speed blender, add the frozen mixed berries, non-dairy milk, peanut butter, and soft medjool dates. If your dates are dry, I recommend soaking them in hot water for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier blending.
  2. Blend until Smooth: Blend everything on high until you have a creamy, smooth texture.
  3. Serve & Enjoy: Pour into a glass, grab a straw, and enjoy this refreshing smoothie!

Tips for the Best Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

  • Make sure to use frozen berries for a thick and creamy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of dairy-free milk depending on how thick/creamy you like it and how powerful your blender is. Smaller blenders might need more milk to help blend.
  • If your dates are dry, I recommend soaking them in hot water for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier blending.

Customize Your Smoothie

I always say simple is best, but if you’re wanting to take this Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie to the next level, here are a few simple add-ins to make it even more nutritious:

  • Protein Powder: Add a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder for an extra protein boost.
  • Chia or Flax Seeds: A tablespoon of chia or flax seeds adds fiber and omega-3s.
  • Hemp Seeds: Add a tablespoon of hemp seeds for additional protein and healthy fats (or sprinkle some on top like I did in the photos).
  • Spinach or Kale: Toss in a handful of greens for extra nutrients (without affecting the flavor!).
  • Cacao Powder: Add a tablespoon of cacao or cocoa powder for a subtle chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with peanut butter and berries.
  • Cinnamon or Vanilla Extract: Add a dash of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of nut butter?

Yes! Feel free to swap the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

Can I make this smoothie without dates?

Yes, you can substitute medjool dates with maple syrup or agave syrup, or leave the dates out entirely if the berries are sweet enough for you.

Can I turn this into a smoothie bowl?

Yes you can! Just reduce the non-dairy milk until you have just enough milk to blend and get a nice thick consistency. Add your desired toppings and enjoy!
