Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl combining ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and protein powder for a delicious and nutritious breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced (frozen bananas work great for creaminess)
  • 3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Optional toppings: granola or crushed nuts, sliced bananas or berries, drizzle of peanut butter or honey, shredded coconut or cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 large ripe bananas. Use frozen bananas for a thicker, chilled smoothie bowl.
  2. Pour 1 cup unsweetened almond milk into a blender, add sliced bananas, 1 scoop protein powder, and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons almond milk and blend again; if too thin, add ice cubes or frozen banana chunks and pulse until thickened.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds gently after blending, if using.
  7. Pour smoothie into a bowl and add desired toppings such as sliced bananas, granola, peanut butter drizzle, or cacao nibs.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for a thicker texture without watering down the flavor. Blend yogurt and milk first before adding peanut butter to avoid clumps. Melted peanut butter drizzled on top enhances flavor. Store smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours; add toppings fresh before serving. Avoid over-blending to maintain creamy texture.
