I love how good food can create such fond memories. Growing up, my dad used to create these incredibly delicious homemade butterfinger blizzards for my younger brother and me. Even now, they remain my absolute favorite childhood treat, evoking such fond memories. This protein smoothie not only takes me right back to my childhood but also offers a satisfying healthy treat.
My go-to staple ingredients for delicious smoothies are frozen bananas and peanut butter. However, I usually use chocolate protein powder. But when I used the vanilla it totally surprised me by tasting like a butterfinger! Adding the hemp seeds at the end gives this smoothie a nice crunch, just like the little blended butterfinger bits in my dad’s homemade blizzard.
