There isn't actually any jam (or jelly depending on where you're from) in this smoothie.
But it is packed full of peanut butter, raspberries and banana.
If you love to start the day with a delicious, nutritious protein-packed smoothie, then this recipe is for you.
It has a gorgeous pink colour from the raspberries, a creaminess from the banana and a lovely hint of peanut butter.
What is PBJ?
PBJ stands for peanut butter and jelly - or jam.
PBJ is a popular sandwich filling in the US. And while it's not one that I grew up with it is definitely one that my family have come to enjoy.
The combination of peanut butter and raspberry jam is truly delicious.
Peanut butter and raspberry works well in a smoothie too
Seeing as it works so well in a sandwich I had the idea to combine peanut butter and raspberries in a smoothie.
I also added some banana.
And the result?
Delicious.

Love it! I am an American Expat. A friends little boy wanted to impress me by having a pbj but he didn’t realise the jelly was jam, not the jelly that the Americans call jello. So he ate a peanut butter and jello sandwich lol. He melted my heart that he tried so hard and I had difficulty not giggling when he asked, in all innocence, how we kept the jelly from falling out of the sandwich ? The family moved down to England a few years ago but he comes to mind every time we have pbj’s. I had never thought to do them as a smoothie, but this was brilliant!
