Vegan Protein Peanut butter and Jelly Shake


Heeeey guys and gals!
I just came back from running and wanted a post workout snack that would give me a good load of protein and also a few carbohydrates to fuel up again. This is a vegan protein shake without any supplements such as protein powder etc.
the shakes with ingredients used in background

You will need  (for two tall glasses)
-2 cups of soy milk
-½ cup of oats
-1 tablespoon of peanut butter
-1 tablespoon of raspberry jelly (or any other jelly you like)

Pour ingredients in blender and mix!

 Nutrition facts for a big serving (one tall glass) :
-15 gram of protein
- 300 calories

If you choose the crunchy peanut butter it will go good with the little pieces of oats. I tried drinking this shake with a straw which kind of turned out a bit …complicated -J as it is kind of thick. You will feel full after this shake because it is very nutritious! When on a diet, there is the option to replace a meal with this drink.
This was definitely a yummy, very nutritious and high-in protein alternative to the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Your Karen

  1. Even better: Replace peanut butter by almond butter => more omega-3! AND, in Germany, definitely use the "SCHMELZFLOCKEN" (melting flakes) oat from Kölln. Super thin, they COMPLETELY disappear in the blender!
