Peanut butter smoothie question
| Tue, 01-15-2008 - 4:52pm |
I have heard so many good thigns about the peanut butter smoothy so I went out and bought a blender.
I made one last night, I have got to be doing something wrong, it was very tart in the after taste and there was a lot of foam but I must have chosen the wrong mix/blend/liquify choice. I also know I need more ice next time.
I used sweet and low instead of equal...could this be it?
I love peanut butter and woudl love to figure out what the heck I am doing wrong.
Any info is appreciated!

Hi,
Here's what I do:
1 cup skim or soy milk or a combination of milk & non-fat plain yogurt (using yogurt will make it more tart)
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
2 to 3 packets of Splenda (depending on how sweet you like it)

I make it exactly the same as Cathy, but I add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I find that my smoothies are more foamy when I use more milk than yogurt.
I didn't try the smoothie, but I tried the peanut butter cup and I put FF cool whip in it.
Thank you very much!
The recipe I got said milk and yogurt, since I am not a fan of yogurt I am happy I can use much less.
So one cup total (milk or a mix of milk and yogurt?)
I am going to try the pb cups but have to watch it, they could easily be a downfall, similar to pistaccio bark
You don't have to use any yogurt at all in your smoothie.
I have found that smoothies made with milk only and without frozen fruit can be watery.
