This Velvet Elvis Smoothie is made with peanut butter and banana. That gives us the Elvis part! And it’s velvety smooth. That’s the Velvet part! And, oh my gosh, is it good! The other thing I love about this smoothie, is that it keeps you full for a long time. And that means you aren’t hungry 10 minutes after finishing it!
It’s a great reason to start your day with this smoothie for breakfast. And you’ll be able to stick to your healthy goals for the new year!

Smoothies for Breakfast
Smoothies for breakfast are so good! I figure I can add some nice tasty nutrition to our daily routine this way. Fresh fruits and veggies blended into a luscious smoothie. It’s all good!
notes
I first created the Velvet Elvis Smoothie after visiting the Grocery Outlet. I saw so many name brand products there. I decided to make this smoothie because they even had my favorite peanut butter.
Use whatever milk you would like. I found coconut milk at the Grocery Outlet as well!
I wanted you to be able to see the Heart Healthy Smoothie Blend packaging (picture below) … found in with the dried fruits and nuts at Grocery Outlet. Of course, if you can’t find this, it’s easy to make your own with mini chocolate chips, pepitas, dried cranberries, almonds, and flax seed. Really, just about any granola will work.

That looks super enticing! I need to take a peek and see if there’s a store in my area. You said west coast, so I’m guessing not. It’s worth a shot though.
