Whether you’re post-workout, powering through a 9-to-5, or trying to eat cleaner without sacrificing flavor, adding peanut butter does more than just taste good — it fuels your goals.
🌮 The Nutrition Behind the Yum: peanut butter
Peanut butter isn’t just a nostalgic sandwich spread. It brings serious nutritional perks:
✅ Protein Boost — Peanut butter adds 7–8g of protein per 2 tbsp. While it’s not a complete protein, when paired with our whey or plant-based blends, you get a full amino acid profile.
✅ Healthy Fats — Monounsaturated fats help keep you satisfied longer, making PB the MVP of meal replacement or post-gym recovery.
✅ Flavor Magic — Creamy, nutty, slightly sweet — it makes any shake taste like a cheat meal (without the guilt).

📲 A Fan Favorite at Fresh Monkee
At Fresh Monkee, peanut butter isn’t just a mix-in — it’s a full-blown movement. For years, it’s been one of our most requested and beloved add-ons, and for good reason. Customers don’t just like it — they crave it. From our signature shakes like Chunkee Monkee and PB Banana Fluff to personalized creations, peanut butter brings a satisfying, creamy richness that transforms every sip.
Whether you’re a gym regular who needs a reliable recovery blend, a 9-to-5er seeking an energizing lunch, or a parent looking for a better-for-you snack the kids will actually finish — peanut butter brings the comfort and functionality that checks every box.
But here’s what sets us apart: we don’t use powdered PB, artificial peanut flavoring, or pre-blended base mixes. At Fresh Monkee, every shake is made-to-order with real, wholesome ingredients — and that includes the peanut butter. It’s the real deal, added in real time, for real flavor and function.
Sure, you can whip up a peanut butter shake at home (and if you’re curious, this clean PB shake from Eating Bird Food is a decent DIY). But let’s be real — it’s never quite the same.

🤢 But What About Calories?
Yes, PB is calorie-dense — around 190-200 calories per 2 tbsp. But that’s a plus for active lifestyles. For those watching macros, start with 1 tbsp or try powdered peanut butter to get the flavor with fewer calories.
According to Mayo Clinic, higher-protein diets support satiety and metabolic health, making PB a smart addition.
🏋️ More Than Just Muscle
Beyond fitness, peanut butter can also play a key role in balanced nutrition. It provides vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, which help with everything from brain function to immune support. That’s one tasty multitasker.
Plus, because peanut butter has a low glycemic index, it supports steady blood sugar levels, which is great for energy and focus throughout the day. So yes, your PB shake isn’t just good for your body — it’s brain food, too.
