The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a staple in my house. I grew up eating them, and now my daughter enjoys a good old-fashioned PB&J at least 2-3 days a week in her school lunch. We go through countless jars of peanut butter and jelly every year. For the peanut butter, we’re not too selective; any natural brand will do. The jelly, on the other hand, is a different story. My daughter is super picky and will only eat natural grape jelly from Welch’s. This is good news for me because Welch’s Natural has no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors or colors, and no preservatives.
We were recently sent two jars of Welch’s natural jelly –in grape and strawberry– to create a twist on the classic PB&J. With summer on the way, I thought it would be a fun treat to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake.
Here’s a quick video of my daughter helping me make the PB&J milkshake, followed by the recipe.Â
Seriously … If you love peanut butter & jelly, you have to give it a try — It’s sooooo good!
