Chocolate Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie By: Emily G.

Recipe Story

I am a 24-year-old cystic fibrosis patient who has found a love for cooking and baking. My 20-year-old brother also has cystic fibrosis. I believe it is important to make healthy food choices while still consuming the high amount of calories that are required for most cystic fibrosis patients. This recipe is a spin-off of my mom's creation, and is a breakfast drink that I have enjoyed many times. It provides healthy yogurt and fruit, along with extra calories, fat, and protein from the peanut butter and Nutella. This smoothie is a great recipe for picky kids, as well as teenagers and adults, that will help provide a delicious start to the day.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • 6 oz plain, vanilla, or berry-flavored yogurt
  • 1 c frozen mixed berries (any kind, but I generally use blackberries and blueberries)
  • Splash of milk or orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp Nutella
  • Add All Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place ice in a blender and let sit for about 10 minutes, or until softened for easier blending.

  2. Add berries and yogurt. Blend until smooth.

  3. Add milk or orange juice if consistency is too thick.

  4. Add peanut butter and Nutella. Blend until combined and smooth.
