Say what?
Now, remember what your Mama said about trying foods at least once!
Truth is, I went back and forth on this PB & J Coconut Smoothie recipe for the longest time. Ultimately, curiosity got the best of me and I caved.
After all, I love all the ingredients separately and the thought of marrying them was too tempting to not try. Plus, I actually couldn’t remember the last time I had a PB&J sandwich …
Just think: rich Adams Natural Creamy Peanut Butter blended with Smucker’s Strawberry Jam and cold cocount milk. Ahhhh.
It’s a combination, when in the right amounts, so nostalgic. Think riding bikes in the summer; sprinting across Mom’s freshly washed floor with muddy sneakers on; staring at the clock and waiting for the school bell to ring.
This PB & J Coconut Smoothie has a very comforting taste.
Forget that the kids love this combination to bits, it’s my take that pleases me most. It may sound strange but set aside those responsible adult hesitations and give the PB&J love a chance.
This is one delicious smoothie and just has to be tried. C’mon, all the cool Moms at the playground are!
- 1 can light coconut milk 400 mL
- 2 tbsp Adams® 100% Natural Creamy Peanut Butter 30 mL
- ¼ cup Smucker’s® Pure Strawberry Jam 50 mL
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds 15 mL
- 1 tsp ground chia 5 mL, optional
- 8 ice cubes
- Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Thin with additional milk if desired.

Christy Martin says
02/15/2014 at 6:16 amI don’t know what I think!? I had a bad case of hiccups last night and a teaspoon of peanut butter does the trick. However, I could not get that taste out of my mouth and had I knew about this shake, I would have complimented it and would have felt good about the reason I had a hint of PB all night! It looks very tasty!
Tammi says
02/15/2014 at 6:57 amHa, better than tasting onions afterward!! lol

02/16/2014 at 4:18 pmI have to admit I would have never thought about making a smoothie out of these ingredients. The more I started to think about it I wanted to try it..lol. I love that you added the chia. I just discovered Chia and I have been adding it to a lot of my foods. I will definitely be trying this.

Noelle M. says
02/17/2014 at 8:51 pmIt sounds a little out of my comfort zone but then again that’s the whole point of trying new things! So when I get the chance, I will definitely try it. 🙂
