What Is It?
A Peanut Butter Jelly Protein Shake is a blended drink inspired by the iconic PB&J sandwich. Instead of bread, the base is typically made with milk and fruit, while peanut butter adds richness and protein powder boosts the nutritional value. The result is a thick, creamy shake with a sweet and slightly tangy berry flavor layered over a nutty base.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the fruit

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.
