This is a great make-it-ahead, freeze it, on-the-go sort of breakfast shake. You can also divide it in half, freeze and it as a snack.

I also have a quirky variation… to include a little fiber, add several Shredded Wheat pieces (like the boxed cereal you find at the grocery store). This sounds odd but it gives it a little more texture. I actually think that combined with the peanut butter taste and the foaminess from just being blended; the shredded wheat mimics the test of malt in chocolate in milkshakes. I’ll eat a “Peanut butter malted milk shake for breakfast” anyday of the week!
