Peanut Butter Cup Protein Smoothie Recipe

If you’re a millennial, you’ve probably heard the slogan “there’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s”. When it comes to supporting our hormones, we want to do it right—so we made this protein-packed smoothie inspired by everyone’s favorite peanut butter cups. We also added a scoop of our seed cycling blends to take this to a whole new level of nourishment 🥜🍫 

Protein for your hormones

Protein isn't just for bodybuilders—it's essential for everyone, especially when it comes to hormonal health. Eating enough protein supports hormone production, healthy blood sugar levels, helping you feel energized and satisfied all day long. We aim to get around 30g of protein at every meal, and each scoop of beeya adds a 5-6g boost!

Why we added hemp to our seed cycling blends

Seed cycling is our favorite way to nourish our hormones everyday, with flax and pumpkin seeds in Phase 1 and sesame and sunflower seeds in Phase 2. With all our daily habits, we try to pack in as much benefit as possible—which is why we added hemp seeds to our seed cycling blends, an incredible source of plant protein that's rich in omega-3s to help balance inflammation, and packed with nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins to support healthy hormones.

Makes: 1
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: none

Ingredients:

• ½ cup cottage cheese
• ½ frozen banana
• ¼ cup frozen cauliflower rice
• ½ cup milk of choice
• 1 scoop beeya seed cycling blends
• 1-2 tsp of honey
• 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
• 1 Tbsp chopped dark chocolate

Instructions:

1. Combine the cottage cheese, banana, cauliflower rice, milk, beeya, 1 Tbsp of peanut butter, and a drizzle of honey in a blender. Mix until smooth.
2. Melt the chocolate chips in a small ramekin and stir together with the remaining 1 Tbsp of peanut butter. If your peanut butter is very thick then you may want to add a teaspoon of melted coconut oil too, it's best if the chocolate sauce is pourable. 
3. Pour the smoothie into your glass, then swirl in the chocolate sauce. Garnish with extra toppings if desired such as salted peanuts or the protein peanut butter cups we shared below in the note section.
