Collage of Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie and ingedients including banana, protein powder, almond milk, and cacao powder on a white marble background. . — Half the portion all the protein.

This is the lightened-up version of my Kailua Monkey Smoothie remake. That one is totally rich but also higher on carbs and calories. The original huge and is sometimes too much for me all at once right after a heavy workout. This is a smaller portion size that hits that peanut butter cup craving and has the same protein content without blowing your macros for the day.

This smaller smoothie also takes advantage of Peanut Butter Powder to lower the calories, but keep all the taste. I normally use Organic Grass Fed Whey protein since it is fast absorbing and easily metabolised. It is low in lactose if you are sensitive to that. For vegans choose a high quality organic protein powder. I like Legion Athletics Plant+ Chocolate or Garden of Life Sport Organic Plant Based Protein.

I take it with me in either a wide mouth pint and a half mason jar with silicone jar jacket and lid or Yeti style coffee mug. I make mine before going to the gym and keep it in my insulated coffee mug and it is still really cold when my workout is over.
