RECIPE: SARAH'S SMOOTHIE - CRUNCHY PB&J

This smoothie is so tasty, I decided it needed its own entry as an Official Recipe! It's very filling, refreshing, and altogether delightful!

CRUNCHY PB&J SMOOTHIE, by Sarah

1 c. plain non-fat yogurt
1/2 serving mixed berries, still frozen
2 T. crunchy peanut butter, or to taste
1/4 c. Grape Nuts cereal
skim milk, to achieve desired consistency 

Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor. Dang, it's delicious! Obviously, you could adjust the ingredients to suit your supplies, but I think that the yogurt, peanut butter and Grape Nuts are mandatory. The type of fruit you use, as well as any additions you'd care to make, are optional. :) 

CAUTION: This smoothie could seriously become habit-forming!

  2. I'm telling you, it's yummmmmmmmy. Especially if you use Smucker's peanut butter that actually has some flavor, I'll bet! To be honest, I couldn't really taste much peanut butter in mine, so I can't wait to try it with the good stuff!
