I have really been enjoying the low fat peanut butter smoothie lately, so I thought I would share the recipe and video so that everyone can enjoy this delicious smoothie. I will mention that I use a defatted peanut powder in all of my recipes that take on a peanut butter flavor.
I love how versatile peanut powder is in baking, cooking, and especially smoothies. This peanut powder contains 80% less fat than regular peanut butter, which is great for those of us on a high carbohydrate/low-fat diet who have always had an affinity to nut butter. I know I will get asked if you can substitute regular peanut butter or almond butter in this recipe, and the answer is you most certainly can. It just won’t necessarily be a low-fat smoothie if you decide to use full-fat nut butter. I really love making this smoothie for mornings that I don’t feel like making much after eating my breakfast celery or on mornings that I have got to be out of the house and on the go in a hurry.
If you go ahead and give this recipe a try, let me know what you think and share a picture on my Facebook page of how it turned out for you.
