Healthy food that helps you lose weight does not have to be little more than a lettuce leaf on your plate! You can have the things you love – this PBJ Banana Smoothie from Lauren Blake, RD, LDN at WholeLivingLauren is a case in point – just keep things in perspective and don’t overdo it.

I love peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and honey, peanut butter and banana … and get this … peanut butter and steak sauce. Yes, I said steak sauce (A1, or HP for the Brits among us!) Mix it in with the peanut butter and spread on toast or a sandwich. Mmmmmuh!

So when I saw Lauren’s delicious smoothie recipe I just had to try it! Here’s why it’s good for you …

This smoothie is kind of a grown up version of PB&J and I am kind of obsessed with it. I make this smoothie often because, well, smoothies in general are awesome, and a healthy, yummy (vegan) smoothie that reminds you of your childhood is even more awesome. The banana and date provide a natural sweetness, the berries and cherries plenty of antioxidants, peanut butter protein and healthy fat, and flaxseed fiber and omega-3s. You get a lot more nutrient bang for your buck with this smoothie. And I am A-OK with that.
