PB&J Superfood Smoothie made with acai, protein powder, fruit, nut butter, Greek yogurt and more! A vitamin and mineral packed breakfast or snack, resembling a favorite childhood sandwich. Gluten Free + Low Calorie!
Confession time. This is only the third smoothie bowl I’ve ever made. Gasp! Number one was last summer and number two last fall. I guess you could say I’m a newbie when it comes to smoothie bowls.
In fact, I’m not usually a smoothie lover because I’m always so cold, but once summer rolls around with its triple digit heat I’m like give me all the SMOOTHIES!
You see for years after losing 80 pounds, I was scared to venture outside of the foods I was comfortable eating. So I kept eating the same foods the same way, every day until well, one day I became a food blogger and that all went out the door!
Becoming a food blogger and freelance food photographer, has definitely forced me out of my food bubble. Summer also has a way of getting me out of food rut.
Because once the heat cranks up, all I crave are fresh salads, veggies and a whole lot of fruit. But this fruit…oh yes! This fruity, berrilicious smoothie bowl comes in the form of a tasty, creamy, satisfying PB&J Superfood Smoothie Bowl.
How exactly do you make a smoothie bowl PB&J style? Glad you asked! Mix berries (the jelly) with a little nut butter (the peanut butter) and you’ve got a smoothie version of a PB&J sandwich.
But this isn’t just any PB&J smoothie. This one is thickened with Greek yogurt and Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster, a plant-based protein with 20 grams of protein.
I’ve been using this protein powder for a year. I love adding it to my smoothies because it makes them extra thick. Perfect for getting just the right consistency for a smoothie bowl. Because no one wants to eat a runny smoothie bowl now, do they?
Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster is high in protein and fiber. Fiber is so important for weight loss and good health, but often forgotten about in the land of calorie counting and macronutrients.
It also contains probiotics and pre-biotic fiber which can increase gut health and immunity.
Oh wait, it’s gets better though! I added spinach because well greens are a must and you gotta sneak them in where you can. Trust me, you won’t even know it’s there. I swear! Then I also snuck in some acai powder which is high in antioxidants making this a real superfood smoothie.
Now, I’m willing to bet you can’t make a sandwich as good or as pretty as this? So grab your spoon and your Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Booster and lets cheers spoons together!

What I Used For The Recipe
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
PB&J is by far my favorite combo! I just got some acai packs form my local tJ’s and and excited to finally have a recipe to use the for! Yum!
This is a good one to use it for!
Did you ever do pb and butter sandwiches? I just remember those. What an odd combo. I do not suggest that you make that into a smoothie!
PB & butter? Oh no!
That is a beautiful smoothie bowl! I have never tried the Bob Mills protein, but have been looking for a protein powder that are not super sweet or stevia tasting. How is the Bob Mills one sweetness-wise?
I don’t think it’s super sweet at all and I’m very sensitive to sweetness.
YUUUUMMMMMM I love peanut butter and jelly anything!!!! I also LOVE smoothie bowls, I eat all my smoothies with a spoon!
Well I sure hope you eat your smoothie bowls with a spoon. LOL!!!
I love PB&J in all forms!!!
YES! Then you will love this.
