JUMP TO RECIPE
This gluten-free and dairy-free Peanut Butter Jelly Time Smoothie is a more convenient way to enjoy one of my favorite childhood sandwiches. Enjoy all the flavors of this classic packed into a delicious smoothie for a fulfilling meal replacement with over 12 grams of protein. This is a great way to get your PB&J craving satisfied while cutting out gluten from the bread and also makes a great “on-the-go” meal. It’s naturally sweetened by the fruit for a healthier option than normally used jelly with high-fructose corn syrup.
How do I like my PB&J sandwich? With strawberry jelly, creamy peanut butter and sliced bananas nestled between two big slices of whole wheat bread. I’ve recreated my sandwich version in this smoothie using fresh strawberries, banana slices, peanut butter, milled flax seeds, almond milk and a touch of Nature’s Flavors Organic Strawberry Flavor Concentrate to help enhance the “strawberry jelly” flavor, (otherwise the peanut butter overpowers the balance.) Makes approximately 16 ounces. See nutritional information in the recipe card found at bottom.
Visit Nature’s Flavors to find the Organic Strawberry Flavor Concentrate. Their products are all-natural and made in the USA by a family owned and operated business of over 40 years.
Let’s begin!
Ingredients:
1 medium banana, sliced
1/2 cup chopped strawberries, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp milled flax seeds
3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/8 tsp Nature’s Flavors Organic Strawberry Flavor Concentrate
3-4 large ice cubes
TIP: Use frozen fruit for a creamier smoothie.
Instructions:
Add ingredients, in order, to a smoothie cup and blend using smoothie setting.
Alternatively, add all ingredients to a blender and pulse a few times, then blend on high for at least one minute, or until smooth.
To add the peanut butter striped garnish to glass, simply add a little creamy peanut butter to the back of a spoon and make two swooshes around the mid of glass.
Pour smoothie mixture into glass and enjoy immediately.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Add ingredients, in order, to a smoothie cup and blend using smoothie setting. (Alternatively, add all ingredients to a blender and pulse a few times, then blend on high for at least one minute, or until smooth.)
Notes
- Use frozen fruits for a creamier smoothie.
- Feel free to substitute the strawberries for your desired fruit "jam" taste. Blueberries with a couple of chunks of pineapple added make a good substitute for a "grapelike" flavor in the place of strawberries.
