Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Bowl

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Bowl is creamy, smooth, and filled with delicious flavor. It also happens to be plant-based and ready to go in just a few short minutes. Add all of your favorite toppings for the perfect to jumpstart your morning.

There’s no denying how wonderful this chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie bowl tastes. Smoothie bowls are perfect for those mornings when your appetite calls for something a little more filling. Plus, there’s more room for fun, tasty toppings! I may never go back to eating my smoothies from a glass ever again!

This recipe is easy to make and fun to add any toppings you like to it. The added protein is a total plus and gives it that rich chocolate taste. If you don’t like adding protein to your smoothie you can certainly skip it.

Ingredients needed

• Milk. Any milk will work. We love the flavor and creaminess of almond milk, but cashew milk or oat milk are great options.
• Banana. A frozen, extra-ripe banana makes all the difference in this smoothie. Be sure to freeze your bananas without the peel and when they’re extra ripe, and use only when completely frozen. Bananas truly thicken up healthy smoothies like nothing else.
• Chocolate protein powder. Adds sweetness and the chocolate flavor. We prefer whey protein, as it is extra creamy, but to keep this smoothie vegan-friendly, be sure to use a plant-based protein powder. You could also omit the protein powder if you’d like.
• Peanut flour or peanut butter. A bit of peanut butter, peanut flour, or your favorite nut/seed butter adds a bit of protein and healthy fats, plus a delicious creaminess to this shake. Use any favorite brand of all-natural nut butter, which should be just nuts or just nuts + salt (or make homemade peanut butter!)
• Ice. Feel free to only add ice as needed for consistency. A large amount of ice blended could make this become watery.
• Toppings. Feel free to add any toppings you’re craving. Some of our favorites are: shredded coconut, chocolate chips, sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter or a sprinkle of granola.

How to make this recipe

This protein smoothie bowl recipe is quick, easy, and simple to make. Here’s how:

1. Add all ingredients except ice to the pitcher of a blender in the order listed. I start with about 2/3 cup milk, blend and add more liquid as needed. I also use a combination of plant-based milk and water. Blend, scrape sides of blender, add a little more liquid and blend again.
2. Add about 1 cup ice before adding more liquid. Blend again and then add additional liquid, as needed, about 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time. Be careful not to go overboard! Blend extra liquid in and until smooth and of desired consistency.
3. Transfer blended mixture to a large bowl and add all of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

*I have successfully made this smoothie bowl without any peanut flour or peanut butter.
*If your protein powder is not very chocolate-y or you only have vanilla on-hand, consider adding about 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
*Nutritional information can vary quite a bit, depending on the brand of ingredients used. To calculate nutritional facts included here, I used a banana that was 109 grams, 2/3 cup Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk, Nuzest Rich Chocolate Protein Powder (paleo-friendly) and 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter & Co. vanilla powdered peanut butter. Toppings not included.

*Optional topping ideas: shredded coconut, sliced banana, blueberries, granola, cereal, peanut butter and/or cookies.
