A rich and creamy peanut butter protein smoothie bowl that is quick to make, packed with nutrition, and perfect for busy mornings or post-workout refuels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (smooth, no-sugar-added)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional, can use dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Slice one large banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Add the frozen banana slices and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter to your blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop (about 30 grams) of vanilla protein powder.
  4. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) of unsweetened almond milk. Add more if a thinner consistency is desired.
  5. Add ¼ cup (60 grams) of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein, or skip for dairy-free option.
  6. Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon, sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides once or twice until smooth and creamy.
  8. Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if too thick, or more frozen banana/yogurt if too thin.
  9. Transfer the smoothie to a bowl.
  10. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced banana, granola, or chopped nuts.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creamy texture; fresh bananas will make it more like a drink. Don’t skip the pinch of salt to enhance peanut butter flavor. Scrape blender sides to avoid clumps. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Pulse frozen chunks first if blender struggles.
