Healthy Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep
- Individual Smoothie Bags – Add the peanut butter protein smoothie ingredients (less any liquid) to a sandwich bag and seal. Store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Family Sized Smoothie Bags – Add several servings worth of ingredients (less any liquid) to a gallon freezer bag. Place a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup in the bag. Close and seal the bag, and store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Prepared Smoothies – these smoothies are best made fresh, but you can make them ahead of time and store in a clean jar (with a lid) in the fridge.
Leftover Storage
- Fridge Storage – Add any leftover smoothie to a jar (I actually serve them in jars so all I have to do is add a lid). Close and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer Storage – Pour any leftover smoothie into ice cube molds, and freeze solid (about 4 hours). Then pop out of the mold and move to a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. Will hold for 1 month in the freezer.

Notes
How to Add Protein to this Banana Smoothie Recipe:
- Greek Yogurt… is a great metabolism boosting ingredient to add to peanut butter banana smoothies. Just add 1/4 cup per serving. Get unflavored and unsweetened to make a peanut butter banana yogurt smoothie.
- Peanut Butter Protein Powder… I have supplied you with our favorite Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder in peanut butter flavor. It’s vegan and all-natural (plus it adds 21 grams of protein!)
- Chocolate Protein Powder… if you love chocolate, Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder also comes in chocolate peanut butter… YUM!
- Collagen Powder… for our non vegan and vegetarian readers, collagen power is a great option. It has no flavor and 18 grams of protein. Plus you can add it to soups, tea… even your morning coffee!
