Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl

Some mornings call for something quick. Other mornings call for something comforting. And then there are those mornings when you want both. That’s exactly where this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl fits in.

I started making this bowl during busy weekdays when I needed something filling but didn’t want to cook. The frozen bananas make it thick and creamy, almost like soft-serve ice cream. The peanut butter adds that nostalgic, comforting flavor that reminds you of childhood sandwiches. And the protein makes it powerful enough to fuel your entire morning.

What I love most is how customizable it is. Some days I sprinkle chocolate chips on top for a little indulgence. Other days I add extra chia seeds when I want something more wholesome. It feels like a treat, but it’s packed with nutrients and keeps me full for hours.

This bowl has become one of those reliable recipes you come back to again and again. It’s simple, satisfying, and made with ingredients most of us already have at home. No fancy techniques. No complicated steps. Just blend, pour, top, and enjoy.

If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen wanting something sweet but still healthy, this is the bowl that answers that craving.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl :

Step 1 :

Add the frozen banana, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, peanut butter powder, chia seeds, and ice into your blender. I used the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender, but any strong home blender works perfectly fine.

Step 2 :

Blend until completely smooth and thick. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides using a Cuisinart Silicone Spatula. The texture should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.

Step 3 :

Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. I like using the OXO Good Grips 3 Quart Mixing Bowl, but any serving bowl in your kitchen works great.

Step 4 :

Top with chocolate chips or your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Note

Storage
This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed immediately. You can freeze leftovers for up to 1 day and re-blend before serving.

Substitutions
Swap almond milk with oat milk or regular milk. Replace peanut butter with almond butter. Use chocolate protein instead of vanilla for a richer flavor.

Serving ideas
Top with sliced bananas, granola, coconut flakes, or extra peanut butter drizzle.

Mistakes to avoid
Do not add too much liquid or the bowl will become thin instead of thick and spoonable.

Chef tips
Use fully frozen bananas for the creamiest texture. Blend in pulses to maintain thickness.
