Best use of peanut butter powder I’ve ever found? This Peanut Butter Powder Blueberry Cinnamon Smoothie. A surprisingly delicious combination of flavors, made with PB2 peanut butter powder instead of regular peanut butter!
Sometimes you buy something at the store because it looks weird and cool. That’s what happened to me with powdered peanut butter. My favorite use for it turns out to be smoothies – especially this one!

Ingredients in this Peanut Butter Powder Blueberry Cinnamon Smoothie
The peanut butter powder is a slightly random ingredient here, but after that, the rest of the ingredients are pretty common for smoothies. Here’s what I put in this smoothie:
- greek yogurt – For this smoothie, Greek yogurt is used to make it extra creamy and add additional protein.
- unsweetened vanilla almond milk – I like using this as a base for my smoothies for the creamy yet neutral taste. You could probably skip the vanilla almond milk and use water if needed.
- vanilla protein powder – Use your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder to add protein to this smoothie.
- peanut butter powder – There are a few brands of peanut butter powder; in this recipe, I used PB2.
- cinnamon – The key ingredient, the one that made a ‘meh’ smoothie into an ‘OMG’ smoothie – is the CINNAMON. Do not forget the cinnamon.
- frozen blueberries & banana – The frozen fruits give the smoothie flavor, color and chill. I think you’ll be surprised how the cinnamon works with the banana and blueberries!
And guess what? 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.
What is peanut butter powder?
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).
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.

Britt @ A Lil' Sweet, Spice, & Advice says
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!
Danielle says
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!
AJ says
Wasn’t too sure about ingredient combo. Came out very tasty!
Danielle says
Thanks AJ! Yeah it’s a bit of a weird combo, I totally agree. But somehow incredibly delicious 😀
Jennifer says
What can I use in place of the banana? I’m allergic.
Danielle says
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!

I just need to rant! I got a nutribullet so excited to try recipes and none of them were really appetizing to me. They were just eh. Practically gave up on it. I got this pb2 and googled a recipe for it— saw this, wasn’t expecting much. But WOW, THIS SMOOTHIE IS SO TASTY. The flavors work so well together. I’m obsessed. You did great creating this! I’ll keep buying this powder just so I can make this again and again.
Danielle says
Hi Cecilia – I am always happy to hear a rant that involves a 5-star rating!! I’m SO GLAD you like this smoothie. It’s one of those recipes that seems really random, until you have PB2 to use up and here it is! It’s an oldie but goodie, I need to make this again! Thank you so much for this rant!! You made my day! -Danielle
