Pink Peanut Butter Smoothie, Vegan + Gluten-Free
Usually I’m all about starting my day with a green smoothie.
On a morning last week, I started throwing ingredients in the blender and turned it up to high before I realized I was missing my greens. The result was such a gorgeous pink color that I couldn’t bring myself to add spinach (which would have turned it brown) and today’s Vegan, Gluten-free Pink Peanut Butter Smoothie was born!
Even though the ingredients are super simple, this smoothie really hits the spot. It sweet, creamy, refreshing and the flax and peanut butter will keep you full until lunch.
In other news, enrollment in Color Your Kitchen will be ending this weekend. If you’re already enrolled- don’t worry- you’ll still have full access to the course. If you aren’t already enrolled now is your last chance before enrollment closes!

I love green smoothies too–but today I decided to go with the chocolate nana ice cream route! 🙂 This looks beautiful!
What do you think (nutritionally) of swopping in coconut milk instead of almond milk and leaving out the coconut shreds?
Do you think that will be toooo rich and fatty?
cheers,

I think that sounds totally delicious!!
This looks delicious ! 🙂
How can I replace ground flax ?
Chia seeds are a great replacement! You can also just omit it and the smoothie will still be great! 🙂
Do you use powdered peanut butter in your smoothies, or regular? (e.g. PB2).
I’ve never tried powdered peanut butter actually. I usually use creamy peanut butter in my smoothies!
