Everyone’s favorite sandwich… is now a milkshake!
Best Dressed
No, I’m not talking about the Oscars last night. I’m talking about the milkshake I made Saturday afternoon; it was gorgeous! Earlier in the day, I went with a friend to find costumes for an Oscars party, and all that shopping made us thirsty. We saved money by skipping Jamba Juice and blending our own drinks upon returning home.
Awhile back, I made a multi-colored Candy Corn Milkshake.
With that drink in mind, I first blended a shake using strawberries and divided it between two glasses. Then I made another shake, but with blueberries instead of strawberries. The result:
PB&J Milkshake
(Makes 1 large serving)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, or other berries (150g)
- 3/4 cup milk of choice (or canned coconut milk, for a super-rich shake)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 T peanut flour or peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 1/16 tsp salt
- sweetener of choice (amount will depend on your tastes and the type of milk you use)
Oh the directions are really hard for this one. Are you ready for it? Combine all ingredients and blend really well. (I used a Vita-Mix.) Pour into a glass and drink.
See? Really hard!
See the following for: Milkshake Nutrition Facts.
If this doesn’t quench your pbj thirst…
Try serving alongside some PB & J Fudge.
I need inspiration:
What is your absolute favorite sandwich?
Mine is boring: peanut butter and banana. I especially love when they’re grilled and the banana gets all caramelized and gooey.
Anyway, I’d love to hear your favorite combinations, as I’m not usually very creative when it comes to sandwich-making. My sandwich recipe arsenal could use some inspiration :).
I am SO making this with almond butter! or maybe sunbutter! Yummers! AND did you know it’s National Strawberry Day?? Perfect!
LOL no, I didn’t! Finally, I got one of these days right. I was too late for pancake day and too early for banana bread day… 🙂
Ive made my fair share of weird sandwiches.
I LOVE a frozen banana sliced up between 2 slices of toast. Like a banana icecream toast sandwich!
Or, mash a banana with ~1 tsp cocoa powder and add that to a PB sammie! PB, Choc & Banana sandwich! Oooh yeh, its yum!
PB & ChocChip toastie. Vegemite & Kiwi fruit. Vegemite & PB is surprisingly delish! PB or Vegemite &.grated carrot.
Oh that frozen banana one sounds really good!
Hi Katie,
I’ve been a long-time follower, however this is my first comment.
Speaking of Oscars, which leads to actresses….I have found your celeb look-alike…

(I watched the movie 50/50 recently, good movie).
Also my favorite sandwich is roasted bell pepper hummus with lettuce.
LOL! I watched her in “Up in the Air” and thought she was adorable… didn’t see any resemblance, though. But I can kinda see it now in your links. Too fun :).
I always loved when they’d have those celebrity lookalike stories in People magazine. I wished they’d do those more often.
I haven’t eaten a sandwich it over a year actually. Gluten-free bread isn’t that great (especially if you’re trying to find one without xanthan gum!) But this looks great in milkshake form!
You just changed my life with that recipe. Holy milkshake.
I’m a sandwich fiend. I’ve tried em all. Love em all. But if I had to pick, I’d go with the wonderful traditional grilled cheese 🙂
Nutella Sandwich! Or raspberries and whipped cream between two chocolate chip cookies! ( I came up with it for school 🙂
My favorite sandwich of all time is a fluffernutter sandwich- peanut butter with marshmallow spread rocks!
The best sandwich I ever had was from La Madeleine – their Ham Almondine Sandwich with Mango Chutney Cream Cheese. It was amazing, but they took it off the menu I think.
I have to say, my favorite has got to be hummus + avocado!
Or maybe apple + my favorite apple pie dip: http://enlo.com/apple-pie-dip/
Hmmm or maybe PB + raisins…
… Hehe, Its so hard to pick!
Usually, my lunch is some peanut butter and Smucker’s Simply Fruit jam alongside some apples, bananas, and/or cheese.
