I love the Chunky Strawberry Smoothies at Jamba Juice and I have experimented for a long time to get the closest I can to the real thing at home.
Here is what you will need:
- 2T Plain Yogurt
- 2-3T Milk
- 3T Peanut Butter
- 3/4 of a frozen banana (cut into 2-3 pieces for better blending)
- 1 Cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 Cup Plain Granola (1/4 for smoothie; 1/4 for sprinkling)
- Fresh banana cut into slices
Put everything into the Vitamix blender in the order listed above, turn to level three and use the tamper to push the strawberries and bananas into the blade. Start with 2T of milk and add more milk if the mixture is not blending. Blend until chunky in consistency. Transfer to a cup. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup granola over the top and slice up some fresh banana for the top.
