Enhanced Berry Peanut Butter Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Kraft Peanut Butter
• 1 cup Olympic Yogurt
• 1 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium, ripe Banana
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup (adjust for consistency) Milk or Almond Milk
• 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth, adding more milk or almond milk gradually until desired consistency is reached. It should be creamy and easily pourable.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed. A touch more honey or maple syrup can enhance sweetness; a squeeze of lemon juice will brighten the berry flavors.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for visual appeal.
5. Chain-of-thought: The original recipe was good but lacked depth. Adding cinnamon and vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile, providing warmth and complexity. Increasing the chia seeds improves both the nutritional value and the texture, making it thicker and more satisfying. Specifying a ripe banana ensures sweetness and creaminess. Vanilla extract cannot be substituted, but cinnamon can be substituted with nutmeg.
