A quick, easy, and healthy breakfast smoothie bowl combining creamy chocolate and peanut butter with protein powder and wholesome ingredients for a filling start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana or fresh berries, crunchy granola or chopped nuts, drizzle of peanut butter or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana into chunks and freeze if not already frozen (about 5 minutes prep if pre-frozen).
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
  3. Add frozen banana chunks, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (~30 g), 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt, a pinch of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon chia seeds to the blender.
  4. Blend on low speed gradually increasing to high for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides with a spatula if needed. Add more almond milk if too thick, but avoid making it runny.
  5. Taste and add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired, then blend briefly again.
  6. Pour the smoothie into a bowl, spreading evenly.
  7. Top with sliced bananas, fresh berries, granola, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter as desired.

Notes

Use frozen banana for thick texture without ice. Adjust sweetness carefully. For vegan/dairy-free, use plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey. For low-carb, replace banana with avocado and add spinach. Nut-free option: substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use nut-free protein powder. Prep ahead by making the base the night before and refrigerate or freeze.
