Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl combining peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy, thick, and nourishing breakfast that feels like a treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop (~30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 large ripe bananas. Freeze them at least 2 hours beforehand for best results.
  2. Place the frozen banana slices in the blender jar. Add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  3. Pour in ½ cup of your choice of milk. Start with less and add more if needed to blend smoothly.
  4. Add ¼ cup Greek yogurt if using, for extra creaminess and protein.
  5. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon, plus 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if bananas aren’t very sweet.
  6. Pulse on low speed to break up the frozen bananas, then blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and thick. Add a splash more milk if needed but keep it thick and spoonable.
  7. Check consistency; if too runny, add more frozen banana slices or a tablespoon of oats to thicken.
  8. Pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings like sliced bananas, granola, chia seeds, or extra peanut butter. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for the thickest texture. Adjust milk quantity carefully to maintain spoonable consistency. If blender struggles, pulse frozen bananas first. Add oats or chia seeds to thicken if needed. Store smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours or freeze in portions.
