* 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
* 8 oz. water (or low-fat milk)
* 3-6 ice cubes

PREPARATION:
Add all ingredients to blender, whip, and serve. I like to use chunky peanut peanut butter and add it last so that it it stays chunky (like peanut brittle) but it tastes just as good with a smoother consistency.

Recipe Tips
1. For a smoother shake, add ingredients to blender one at a time.
2. Always add liquids first, powder second, and ice last.
3. Add more liquid for a "thinner" shake and less for a "thicker" shake
4. Add more ice for an ice-cream-like consistency and less ice for a milk-like consistency.
5. Add more or less fruit or other ingredients to suit your taste.
6. Don't forget to count the calories you are adding to each shake.
