A quick, easy, and healthy breakfast smoothie bowl that combines creamy peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, and frozen bananas for a delicious and indulgent start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (unsweetened, unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavored)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy, unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice bananas and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Add 2 cups (about 300g) frozen banana slices, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 scoop protein powder to the blender.
  3. Pour in 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice. Start with less if you prefer a thicker bowl.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds if using.
  5. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Adjust thickness by adding milk or frozen banana chunks as needed.
  6. Pour smoothie into a bowl and top with fresh berries, sliced banana, crunchy granola, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or extra peanut butter as desired.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use fully frozen bananas for thick, creamy texture. Start with less milk and add more to adjust consistency. Stir peanut butter if thick or separated before measuring. Pulse frozen bananas first if using a less powerful blender to avoid motor burnout. Protein powder choice affects texture; vanilla or plant-based powders blend best. Add toppings for texture contrast. Store leftover smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours; stir before serving.
