Sounds gross right, but OH MY GOODNESS, this is probably one of my favorite smoothies of all time (except chocolate and peanut butter - can't beat that combo!!) and Mitchell's favorite too and it is so healthy, protein packed and refreshing! 
Ingredients (but oops forgot to put the PB in the photo - the 2nd most important ingredient!)
BUTTERFINGER SMOOTHIE
1 Cup Carrot Juice
1 TBsp Peanut Butter
2 TBsp Nonfat Dry Powdered Milk AND/OR 1 TBsp Powdered Fat-Free Creamer (this is what makes it taste like ice cream - I use both!)
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (your favorite brand)
10-12 ice cubes
Optional: -1 packet Stevia (I use Truvia) or 1 Tablespoon Sugar if you want it a but sweeter (I don't add this)
-1 Tablespoon Wheat Germ (this gives it that crunchy Butterfinger texture - yum!!!)
Blend all ingredients together until smoothie consistency and ENJOY your guilt free Butterfinger! I did the stats on this and here are the basics (varies a bit depending on the protein powder you use). CALORIES = 280 Calories FAT = 6 Grams healthy fat! PROTEIN = 17 Grams - WOW! SUGAR = 18 Grams (most are natural from carrot juice)
And a few bonus shots - it was 80 degrees at the beach in Ventura so we took advantage of it! The kids loved it and the day was perfect! I didn't bring my camera as I am certain we have many fun beach days in the future but stole these from my fiend who took them!
Mitchell with sand drool!
