Love at First Shake #nuttzolove

I am no foodie.  Well, scratch that. I love food.  Although, compared to many amazing fitness and foodie bloggers out there… I just like to eat good (and bad) food.  I decided to play along this week to share with you one of my meals that I enjoyed today.  Like everything in my life, I have days where I eat really well… and other days where I eat terribly.  Today was mixed with both good and bad.  Again, working on the balance with food!

The boys and I were out and about all morning.  When we arrived home mid afternoon, we all were hitting our afternoon crash.  We all wanted something sweet, fulfilling and tasty.  I decided to make the boys and me a peanut butter – chocolate shake.

I have been enjoying playing around with my Vitamix the past few weeks… creating healthy smoothies, soups, blends and more!  I am loving the ease of use, functionality, and ease of clean up!  Making healthy snacks, shakes and smoothies when short on time has been a time saver!!

I was sent a jar of NuttZo to review and have been using and experimenting with NuttZo the past few days.  My family loves peanut butter!  We go through mass amounts each week.  I really liked that NuttZo is 100% organic, contains no added sugar, full of healthy fats and supports a charity helping nutrient deficient children.

I have been using NuttZo in my boys sandwiches, toast, and smoothies… and they are non the wiser! Which is fantastic for me… because my middle son is uber picky about his peanut butter.

From experimenting with my Vitamix, Vega Team Choc-a-lot smoothie , Nuttzo and a banana…  the boys and I have found a tasty, fulfilling, and super healthy shake to enjoy as a snack.

Are you a fan of peanut butter or similar nut butter products?
Do you use nut butters with your smoothie and shake recipes?  If so, please share your yummy recipes!
