Sometimes you buy something at the store because it looks weird and cool. That’s what happened with powdered peanut butter. Yes, powdered peanut butter is a thing and of course I bought it. Yes, a Costco sized jug of powdered peanut butter. The most common thing powdered peanut butter is used for is smoothies, so naturally I went for it.
The key ingredient – the one that made a ‘meh’ smoothie into an ‘OMG’ smoothie – is the CINNAMON. Probably my favorite spice (besides salt, I guess?). Do not forget the cinnamon. You could probably skip the vanilla almond milk and use water. However, the vanilla flavor is also a compliment to the smoothie and shouldn’t be skipped (in my opinion).
Wasn’t too sure about ingredient combo. Came out very tasty!

You guys, this is probably my best smoothie creation yet. Of course, none of this could be possible without my handy NutriBullet. Smoothie making machine since ’14. It’s not the most powerful thing out there, but it does the job dependably for a super sweet low price (especially at Costco!). But seriously, it’s the best for smoothies.
Let’s talk about peanut butter powder. Mysterious PB powder. I looked it up. It’s just peanuts pressed so that the fat and oils are removed. It tastes virtually the same as normal peanut butter (once you add some water to the powder). And the best of part (thanks to the Kitchn):
2 tablespoons of PB2 has 45 calories and 1.5g of fat
VS.
2 tablespoons of Jif has 190 calories and 16g of fat.
RAD.
The most popular brand of powdered peanut butter is PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. You can also use PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder, which is what I found at Costco. I think Jif has a version too. It looks like a lot but starts going pretty fast when you use it for smoothies all the time.

You can definitely dump all ingredients in at once. I like to mix the powders with the liquids first to ensure everything is well mixed.
PREP AHEAD: Peel and cut banana, add 1 cup blueberries to ziploc bag and freeze. Measure and combine protein powder, peanut butter powder, and cinnamon in a container and dump into blender when needed.

Yay! I’m so glad you loved it! It’s one of my go to smoothie recipes 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
Absolutely love the combination of blueberries and cinnamon in my smoothies as well. Never thought about adding peanut butter to it though. Will definitely be trying that next!

Hey Britt! I love adding peanut butter to mine, but it can really add on the calories! So we got this peanut butter powder to try, and it’s the best in smoothies! Hope you like it! Thanks for your comment!
Wasn’t too sure about ingredient combo. Came out very tasty!

Thanks AJ! Yeah it’s a bit of a weird combo, I totally agree. But somehow incredibly delicious 😀
What can I use in place of the banana? I’m allergic.
Hi Jennifer – Honestly I’m not exactly sure what could replace the banana but my best suggestion would be to add additional Greek yogurt instead to keep it creamy, maybe another 1/3 or 1/2 cup depending on how it tastes. I use bananas in all my smoothies so I’m unsure of a substitution. I apologize! Hope it works for you!
