Simple Ingredients Needed

Almond Milk

I use unsweetened almond milk because I think the dates add enough sweetness to this smoothie. It contains 22% of the daily recommended value of vitamin E which is great for fighting inflammation.

Frozen Strawberries

Make sure you use frozen strawberries for the best results. Frozen fruits make thicker smoothies. They’re full of vitamin C, manganese, and potassium.

Dates

Dates give this strawberry peanut butter smoothie recipe the perfect amount of sweetness. They also have an excellent nutrition profile. Just one serving contains 7 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. Make sure you either use pitted dates or take out the pit yourself.

Peanut Butter

I use natural peanut butter. Peanut butter contains the 3 major macronutrients: protein, fiber, and fat and is also rich in vitamins and minerals.

Vanilla Extract

Just a little bit adds the best flavor.

How to make this Strawberry Peanut Butter Smoothie
