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!

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 :).
You just saved my life with this recipe, thank you!
My favorite sandwiches are anything with peanut butter and I also like jelly and cream cheese.
My favorite sandwich is with a kind of salami and kashkaval (the Balkan yellow cheese) on rye bread. I sprinkle it with a spice mix and then toast it. I loved it as a child and I still do. Unfortunately, this kind of sandwich is not good for turning into a milkshake 😀 . So here comes my favorite sweet sandwich – rye bread, chocolate spread, some uncooked oatmeal, coconut, banana. Banana, chocolate and coconut would make a great milkshake flavor.
It’s hard to beat the old pb n’ j. Super cool post! I love the idea of layering the two smoothie colors/flavors here, it is both beautiful and delicious. I’m a fan of your blog, most definitely!!!
This does look like a beautiful drink! Very creative too! Excited to see that new recipe tomorrow!
My FAV Sammie is Ezekiel 4:9 toasted with sundried tomato hummus, a thick slice of tomato and any crunchy greens I have in the fridge…cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, etc. And if I am really hungry I throw on a black bean burger.
I tend to prefer open-faced sandwiches. Soy cheese and barbecue sauce is fantastic…
I remember a milkshake from my childhood similar to this, except it blended in a piece of bread as well! A true PB & J sandwich! Haha.
my favorite sandwich is honey wheat or multigrain bread with slices of chicken, turkey, and roast beef cold cuts, pesto, mozzerella cheese, and lettuce and grilled so that the bread is toasty and the cheese is melty XD
grilled pb & banana is a close second though!
What a pretty milkshake! It looks almost tie-dyed.
My favorite sandwich? I really love a good grilled hummus sammie or a PB-apple with raisins.
Love it! Pb and banana is my favourite too 🙂
