Optional

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients: frozen banana, strawberries, peanut butter, strawberry jam, protein powder, almond milk, and ice cubes if using.
- Layer Ingredients in Blender: Start by adding the ice cubes to the blender if you want a frostier smoothie. Then add the frozen banana, strawberries, peanut butter, jelly, protein powder, and finally the almond milk.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ice cubes are optional but recommended if you want to increase volume without extra calories and to keep the smoothie frosty.
- Use ice cubes especially if you’re using fresh fruit instead of frozen for optimal cold texture.
