Thats just perfect! It's much better and healthier than those Mcdonalds foods or what not! Leanne, stop whining and try to be a little positive for a change. If you are overweight, try to exercise. People and children are going to eat p & jelly sandwitches anyway, and this shake even contains oatmeal and fruit. If you want to give an overweight child something sweet but healthy too you could try this shake and put some biological, healthy selfmade peanutbutter and jelly in it and it will be a snack with healthy calories and it will be delicious as well! Jumm!!

Actually, it IS pretty healthy. Calorie content for entire recipe is going to be around 510 - but it makes 2 servings, so that is not bad at all. Yes, there is fat, but it is fat primarily from the peanut butter, which is unsaturated fat and good for you. This is a perfectly healthy snack containing healthy fats, ample protein, a serving of fruit, and a good dose of fiber. People become fat or obese by eating TOO MUCH relative to their energy expenditure - period. Yes, I am a health and fitness professional. Enjoy this yummy snack guilt-free!

i reckon that's pretty healthy and am gonna go make one similar now for a post work out refuelling.... jelly maybe the worst thing in it - so add more fruit!..... and PB is excellent fat!..... obesity is a killer - so is malnourishment and anorexia..

If you made it with natural pb, unsweetened soy milk and reduced sugar jelly, it certainly is and it's definitely healthier than a standard milkshake. Just because something has a high fat/calorie content doesn't necessarily mean it's "unhealthy" especially if consumed by somebody who follows a healthy diet and exercises.
