Skinny Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie {2 WW P+} - FFF #5

For those of us trying to get our skinny on, you are going to love today's Friday Fun Find. And in addition to it being Friday the 13th *insert appropriate screeching noises from horror movies* it is also National Peanut Day! So, this new (to me) product fits in perfectly. I had been reading about PB2 on other blogs, and decided it was time I gave it a try. I am all about a low calorie peanut butter, but was skeptical after trying this stuff. Even though it seemed to good to be true, I ordered the peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter flavor from Amazon. (This is not a sponsored post btw.)

It comes all vacuum packed. I immediately opened both flavors and tested them out. Verdict - GOOD! It's not exactly like regular peanut butter...the texture is a little thinner/smoother, and not quite as peanutty in flavor, but one serving is 1 point for Weight Watchers. I am sold! I have been making sandwiches with it and using it in my most favorite smoothie to date, as well as spreading it on graham crackers, apples, etc.

This smoothie does not taste like something "diet" in my opinion. It's pretty awesome, and super nutritious. 

Skinny Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie 

• 1 cup Unsweetened Almond-Coconut Milk {1 point}
• 1 cup raw spinach, packed (a big handful) {0 points}
• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries {0 points}
• 1/2 cup frozen peaches*  {0 points}
• 1/3 of a banana (frozen is better for smoothie texture)* {0 points}
• 1 Tablespoon Special Dark Cocoa {0 points}
• 2 Tablespoons PB2 (I usually use the chocolate) {1 point}

*You can use any fruits you have on hand. I usually cut up whatever fruit is getting too ripe and stick it in the freezer, then add to my smoothies. This batch was peaches and a few strawberries. I always add blueberries, but I'm sure you could switch those out too. 

*For the banana - if you like bananas, go ahead and add as much as you like for a Chocolate PB Banana Smoothie. I don't care for bananas, but I like the texture they provide, so I only use 1/4 to 1/3 of a banana.

Add everything in a blender, and blend very well, until smooth. Add 1/4-1/2 cup ice if needed. You can also add sweetener, but I haven't needed it. (It will depend on the fruit you use)

This makes a big ol' glass, and it tastes yummy. It provides fruits and veggies, protein, but it TASTES YUMMY. (It bears repeating!) And, it's SKINNY. Can I get a whoop!whoop! Now, you can make this with regular peanut butter/nut butter or replacements, but it will change your points value. It will still be a yummy and healthy smoothie however. 

Yep, I'm gettin' my skinny on...down 16 lbs with 6 more to goal!! Then I want to lose an extra 5 since all the holiday baking will start very soon :-)  That's me, always planning ahead (what I'm going to eat next!)

Happy Friday! Don't forget to check out all the giveaways I have going on right now!
