This peanut butter banana smoothie bowl is a creamy and nutty delight that serves as a healthy breakfast or nutritious dessert. Made with frozen ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and a hint of vanilla, it has a texture reminiscent of soft serve ice cream. It’s quick to prepare and can be customized with various toppings for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 bowl

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup nondairy milk (such as almond or coconut)

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add ingredients to blender: Place the frozen ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, nondairy milk, and optionally flaxseed meal and vanilla extract into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the amount of liquid if necessary; less liquid results in a thicker smoothie bowl, while more liquid thins it out. For a super thick texture, use the minimum liquid possible or none if you have a high-powered blender.
  3. Serve: Transfer the smoothie mixture to a bowl. Add your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds, and enjoy with a spoon.

Notes

  • Use frozen ripe bananas for best texture and natural sweetness. To freeze, peel bananas when fully ripe (yellow with brown specks), place in a ziplock bag or container, and store in the freezer.
  • Frozen bananas can be kept fresh in the freezer for at least 1 month.
  • Adjust liquid quantity to control smoothie consistency.
  • Optional flaxseed meal adds extra fiber and nutrients.
