I have a confession to make. I had never been to a Trader Joe’s until last month. Which means I had never had Cookie Butter until last month. [I know you’re shaking your head at me. I understand.] The closest TJ’s is 2 hours away in San Antonio. When I was there last month to run Foam Fest I made sure to stop by and peak around. And by peak around I mean I asked the nearest employee where the cookie butter was and filled my cart. I bought regular and crunchy and opened them both up in the car. [Don’t judge.] Then I got tired of eating the cookie butter straight out of the jar, so I created a liquid version. Behold. The cookie butter granola smoothie!
This was the easiest and tastiest smoothie that I have ever made. And not just because it has cookie butter. [I mean that helps.] Plus its semi-healthy-ish because I used almond milk and a banana to make my cookie butter granola smoothie.
To make your own you will need:
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1/4 cup Granola
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 large tablespoon cookie butter
Throw everything in the blender and mix until smooth. A few tips though – put your liquid in first to help move everything along. I use a frozen banana instead of ice and it makes my smoothies/shakes creamier and no melted ice issues. And yes my jar of cookie butter is sadly empty.
And thats how you make the world’s best smoothie. I feel like if I had a microphone I’d throw it down right now and walk off stage. [I’d need a stage too.]
Have you ever had Cookie Butter?

Looks delicious! Really wish Wyoming had a Trader Joes…I don’t even think Denver has one. I’m gonna to have to find something similar to Cookie Butter, maybe even search Amazon lol. Just the thought of it makes my mouth drool. Have a smoothie on me, k? 🙂
Kelley says
I will have one for you! Maybe two? lol. If you ever see Biscoff spread its almost the same thing. Grab it and run! 🙂

Don’t worry I haven’t been to Trader Joes in 8 years. I don’t even think they had cookie butter. Our closest one is in SLC which is 4 hours away and it is not easy to get to from the freeway. SO maybe this summer I will have to stop by and pick some up. It looks amazing.
Kelley says
Thanks Adrienne! If you can find Biscoff spread, its kinda the same thing.
