PB&J Smoothie made with Amoré Almonds + Dairy

Importance

As time goes, as I get older I continue to learn the importance of my health and my families. I have always tried to lead a healthy life style and stock my fridge and freezer with whole, local foods, like Earth’s Own new Amoré Almonds + Dairy. This is defiantly a challenge most days for a big family of six, but for me it gives me peace in knowing I am providing a healthy start for my children. The challenge therefore in my eyes is worth every bit.

Routine

Something I have been doing for many years now is making breakfast smoothies for my hubby and I each morning. This can be boring day after day, but now has become our routine so much so that when we cook a big breakfast of homemade pancakes or waffles on the weekend I actually miss my morning shake.

PB & J Smoothie Recipe

I have been creating smoothies for so many years but when I came across the PB & J smoothie (inspired by Harley Pasternak) I had finally found my favorite. This smoothie takes me back to my childhood, when PB & J was all I took to school.

Of course I mixed it up a bit, that is what I do best. I have never been one to follow a recipe but take the inspiration for a spin. This recipe is also great with a sprinkle of cocoa nibs blended in it, the possibilities are endless. With the recently launch of Earths Own Amore Almond + Dairy I knew the combo would be paired perfectly with my favorite PB & J smoothie.

Earth’s Own Amoré Almonds + Dairy

Fall in love with dairy all over again. For the first time, the benefits of almonds and dairy are combined in one beverage. Earth’s Own has launched Amoré Almonds + Dairy — a beverage combining the goodness of real dairy with the creamy nutty taste of real roasted almonds.

Problem. Two thirds of Canadians are not getting the minimum two servings of milk that are recommended each day.

Solution. Amoré Almonds + Dairy gives Canadian’s a new way to enjoy milk and to meet Health Canada’s guidelines. Dairy promotes strong healthy bones and almonds help maintain heart health, together they provide even better nutritional goodness.

“A serving of Amoré Almonds + Dairy is an excellent source of protein and calcium. In fact, there is 50 per cent more calcium per serving than milk,” says Samara Felesky-Hunt, registered dietitian.  “With the addition of almonds, Amoré is also a good source of Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, that is important for maintaining heart health.”

Amoré Almonds + Dairy comes in two flavours, Original and Vanilla. They taste delicious on their own and are also the perfect match for smoothies, coffee, berries and cereal. As an everyday, healthy pleasure, the pairing options are truly endless. Amoré is available in 1.75L cartons, has a suggested retail price of $5.29 and is available in the refrigerated dairy section at grocery retailers across the country.
