My Favorite Post-Workout Smoothie Recipe

For as long I can remember, I've been envious of those people who make these beautiful, Instagram-worthy smoothies for breakfast each morning. The thing is, I'm just not a fruit flavor type of gal. Let me explain. I love me some fruit - apples, oranges, bananas, grapes. Yum! (Berries are another story - too bitter I think.) But fruit mixed with other things? No thank you. I am a firm believer that fruit doesn't belong in dessert, nor does it belong chopped up and blended up in order to disguise the taste of protein powder.I know I'm weird with all my picky fruit eating habits. Long story short, I have been searching for a perfect post-workout smoothie for what seems like forever. I've always been a runner, but recently I've been focusing on trying to build and tone muscle. I've completed week 1 of BBG and my body is so. freaking. sore. I've also been loving my Barre classes which are so tough. I always come out of barre feeling incredibly sore, and I know my muscles need a protein boost.I finally found it the smoothie recipe that hits all the boxes - no fruit flavor, refreshing, filling, and full of protein. Of course, it's a Wegman's recipe. Those of you who know me know that I'm a Wegman's loyalist through and through. And they did not disappoint with this recipe! The funniest part of it? It actually includes bananas, but after all my complaining, David used only one banana (the recipe calls for 2) and you can hardly taste it! My husband has become a pro at blending up these bad boys for us each morning and for when I come home from a workout.Peanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie RecipePeanut Butter Smoothie Recipe Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe

Mix all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. David and I double the recipe so each of us can have one!
PS. Our blender was a wedding gift but I couldn't recommend it more. It comes with two to-go cups that are super handy, plus it's really easy to clean. It's currently on sale, check it out here!
