Without intentionally doing so, I've managed to devise, make and photograph three recipes showcasing PB + J flavors in one week. Coincidence? Perhaps. Induced by comfort-food cravings? Likely. Delicious? Undoubtedly.
By the end of this week, you'll be able to enjoy PB+ J's under the guise of breakfast, lunch + dessert. And guess what: the PB + J breakfast recipe actually tastes more like dessert than breakfast.
My post-morning-yoga routine went as usual this past Monday morning; arrive home in euphoric state, look in the mirror to passively observe the state of my sweaty yoga coif without feeling the need to interfere with its oddities {which appear in abundance, I might add}, and toss a few ingredients into the blender in hopes of creating a healthy and tasty smoothie. Now, if this were any post-morning-yoga routine, I would have been pleased with the smoothie but, unbeknownst to me, the ingredients I tossed into the blender on this particular morning yielded something fantastic. A smoothie so tasty it traverses into milkshake territory. However, it still has all the healthy balance of the famed morning drink.
A smoothie in milkshake's clothes, perhaps?
While this smoothie leans more on the peanut butter side of things, the sweetness from the jam rounds out the overall flavor and creates a beverage that reaches addictive heights. Smooth, creamy, rich, and dreamy + it will keep your belly content and happy for hours.

Do you cook or soak the oats first or add them in dry?

I usually add them in dry when I'm on a time-crunch but if you don't mind the extra time, soak or cook them first to smooth out the texture a bit more!

Hi Katy! The recipe serves one and is about 12-14 ounces of smoothie! I hope you enjoy it.

Tried this for the first time this morning for breakfast and it came out beautifully! Can't believe how creamy, milky and comforting it tasted without a drop of diary. Sheer heaven - thank you!

Hi, Ima! I'm so glad you had a chance to try this smoothie! This is an oldie but such a goodie in my book. It's kind of a like a breakfast milkshake, isn't it?! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
