A quick, filling, and healthy smoothie bowl combining peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a nutritious breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 medium bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Add frozen banana slices and 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 scoop protein powder. Blend for 20-30 seconds. If too thick, gradually add up to 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk.
  4. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend for another 10-15 seconds until fully incorporated.
  5. Check consistency and adjust by adding more almond milk if too thick or a few ice cubes/frozen banana if too thin. Blend again if needed.
  6. Pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl.
  7. Top with fresh banana slices, granola, chia seeds, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter as desired.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for a thick, creamy texture. Blend in stages to avoid clumping. Add almond milk gradually to control consistency. Scrape down blender sides if peanut butter chunks remain. Best served immediately for optimal texture. Can be customized with toppings like chia seeds, granola, or nuts.
