Ingredients
  

  • 2 frozen bananas, sliced (for thickness and natural sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt) for extra creaminess
  • 1/2–3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, soy)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber and omega-3s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • Pinch of sea salt (enhances chocolate and peanut butter)
  • Handful of ice cubes (as needed, for thickness)
  • Sliced banana, strawberries, or berries
  • Granola or toasted oats
  • Cacao nibs or mini dark chocolate chips
  • Peanut butter drizzle
  • Shredded coconut
  • Pumpkin or hemp seeds

Method
 

  1. Prep the base. Add frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, Greek yogurt, chia or flax (if using), vanilla, and a pinch of salt to your blender.
  2. Add liquid. Pour in 1/2 cup of your milk to start. You can always add more if it’s too thick.
  3. Blend low and slow. Start on low speed and work up to high. Use a tamper if you have one. Aim for thick and smooth, like soft-serve.
  4. Adjust texture. If it’s too thick to blend, add milk a splash at a time. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen banana.
  5. Taste and tweak. Want it darker? Add a little more cocoa. Need more sweetness? Add a date, a drizzle of honey, or a bit more banana.
  6. Bowl it up. Pour into a shallow bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.
  7. Add toppings. Finish with your favorite toppings for crunch, color, and extra nutrients. Think granola, sliced fruit, cacao nibs, and a peanut butter swirl.
  8. Serve immediately. Smoothie bowls are best cold and thick right after blending.
