Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl that combines peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy, nourishing breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, frozen
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g), optional
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, optional
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice ripe bananas into 1-inch pieces. Lay them flat in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight until solid.
  2. Measure out peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, flaxseed, and cinnamon.
  3. Place about 2 cups (roughly 2 medium bananas) of frozen banana slices into a high-speed blender.
  4. Add 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1-2 teaspoons honey, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, and a pinch of cinnamon.
  5. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing. Use a tamper or stop to scrape down sides as needed until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth like soft-serve ice cream. Add almond milk a tablespoon at a time if too thick, or more frozen banana if too thin.
  6. Pour the smoothie into a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.
  7. Add desired toppings such as sliced banana, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
  8. Enjoy immediately while still icy cold and creamy.

Notes

Freeze bananas in a single layer to prevent clumping. Blend peanut butter and almond milk first to avoid sticking. Add liquids gradually to maintain thick, spoonable texture. If blender struggles, let bananas thaw 5 minutes before blending. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours; stir and add almond milk before eating.
