This recipe is also low carb, low fat, sugar free, and a Trim Healthy Mama Fuel Pull!
If you are a Trim Healthy Mama, you may be wondering how a Peanut Butter Milkshake can be a Fuel Pull! The reason . . . one of my favorite secret weapons! (Ok, nothing so dramatic as that, but it is a product that I love!)
Peanut powder is one of my favorite products! The first peanut powder I ever tried was the Trim Healthy Mama Peanut Flour.
It is De-Fatted, which means ¼ cup of this peanut flour only has 4 grams of fat, as opposed to regular peanut butter's 32 grams per ¼ cup!
Now don't get me wrong - I'm the girl who loves to eat peanut butter with a spoon, straight out of the jar! Anyone else with me?
While there is nothing inherently wrong with that, it can be a calorie bomb, for sure! So we have Peanut Flour to the rescue!
For Trim Healthy Mamas, peanut flour means we can now have peanut butter flavor in our E and FP meals and snacks - awesome!
One idea I love is adding this peanut flour to plain greek yogurt and using it as a dip for apple slices! You can't go wrong with peanut butter and apple!

Or this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
I love to have this for breakfast, but really, it is good anytime! With the added collagen, this falls at about 37 grams of protein per serving, so it can easily be a breakfast or light lunch. (If you are unfamiliar with collagen, this article about collagen is a great read!)
Unfortunately, when I created this recipe I was out of the THM Peanut Flour (sniff, sniff), so I had to use the JIF Peanut Powder which can be found at most Wal-Marts.
It is good, but not as good as the THM brand. And while we are on that topic, I have found that Trim Healthy Mama's products as a whole are much superior to any other brand.
I believe that is because they search high and low for suppliers/growers who meet their stringent standards. All that hard work comes through in taste! (And no, I was not paid to say that, just my own opinion!)
This Peanut Butter Milkshake Recipe is a Fuel Pull for Trim Healthy Mamas! (That simply means it is low in both carbs and sugar.)
However, if you are feeling the need for a bit more fat, you could use a heaping Tablespoon of natural (no sugar added) peanut butter in place of the peanut flour.
You could also add a Tablespoon or two of heavy whipping cream to really up the creamy factor.
But I love to have this as written and enjoy it as a Fuel Pull. Honestly, all the peanut butter flavor is there and the cottage cheese makes it seem rich and creamy. I don't miss the full fat peanut butter or cream.
If you look at the nutritional information below, you will see that it lists 6 grams of fat, which is barely over the suggested 5 grams for an E or a FP.
However, unsweetened almond milk and low fat cottage cheese are both considered FP foods so long as you don't go crazy with them.
The sisters themselves have mentioned at various times that those numbers are only meant as a guideline, not a hard and fast rule.
That being said, if you want this to remain a FP, then do not add any more fat with this recipe. (Or if you want an S, go ahead and add some natural peanut butter, as mentioned above!)
I often get a lot of questions about other peanut butter flour/powder products. The most common question is related to PB2.
Unfortunately, most PB2 contains sugar, so it is not the best choice. (I can't say ALL of them do, but I believe all the types I have seen do contain sugar.)
I know people will ask, "Can you taste the cottage cheese?" I don't think you can.
The cottage cheese is what makes it creamy, and I think it lends a light cheese-cakey flavor. I used to detest cottage cheese with a passion, but now I put it in nearly everything!
The collagen is optional, but I like to add it to bump up the protein content. You could also use your favorite protein powder in place of the collagen. (I bet this would be amazing with the THM Chocolate Pristine Whey Protein Powder!)

just curious why the title of the blog post says the milkshake is FP, but the print option shows it is S.....? either way, it sounds delicious, and i think i'll make me one tomorrow and enjoy it! 🙂
dsdjhardy
Yes, I'm sorry about that - it was a typo, which I haven't been able to fix yet. The shake is indeed a FP! 🙂
Ashley
Quick question: wouldn't you also subtract sugar alcohols?
Sarah Hardy
Yes, I do subtract sugar alcohols, but they are already subtracted in the Gentle Sweet when I add the nutrition information to the recipe.
Nicki
Love, love, love peanut butter.
Lori
Can you use JIF natural peanut butter to substitute?
Sarah Hardy
Absolutely! I use Adams natural no sugar added peanut butter sometimes!

I tried this for breakfast this morning. I didn't have the collagen powder, but did some research on the difference between it and beef gelatin. They seemed to be very similar so I decided to try it with the gelatin since I had some of it. The results weren't disastrous, but I couldn't drink very much of it. The problem wasn't in the taste, but the gelatin didn't mix in, but collected in small chunks and one big chunk. I finally strained the shake to get all the chunks out of it and put it in the freezer to try the rest of it tomorrow. What would have caused the gelatin to clump up like that? Was it because I added it in with the rest of the ingredients before processing it? I guess I'll have to invest in one more expensive ingredient if I want to make this again!
Sarah Hardy
Hi Marijane! I am so sorry you problems with the recipe. Gelatin behaves very differently from collagen. Gelatin (while it has similar benefits to collagen) is used to thicken and gel recipes. It has to be "bloomed" in water before you use it. However, the good news is that the collagen in this recipe is not an essential ingredient. I just added it for protein.

This is one of my favorite go-tos when I can't decide what to have! De-lish!

Sarah Hardy
Yes! Kefir should work great!
Rachel
This is delicious. Thank you. I am one day out of surgery and needed something easy thatvwould t hurt to eat and this hit the spot. Had run out of almond milk so just used reg milk and am not going to worry about it.
Becki
Could you add coca powder to this for a chocolate/peanut butter or would it push it into S category? I love this recipe but just wondering if you could add that because i love Reece’s!!!
Sarah Hardy
Yes, you could absolutely add cocoa powder! (And it would still be FP)
Susan H.
I love this so much - I've been having this for my afternoon snack most afternoons recently. I LOVE that I can get a peanut butter taste and still be in FP mode. Just wanted to say thanks for concocting this delicious treat 🙂
Jane Brignone
Sarah, I’m in love with this recipe! It hit the spot!!
