Ingredients
- 3 frozen bananas, sliced
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk (plus 1 tbsp more if needed)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Toppings: granola, banana slices, chia seeds, berries
Instructions
- Freeze the bananas. Use bananas frozen solid in slices — this is what makes the bowl thick and spoonable.
- Blend thick. Blend the frozen banana, peanut butter, yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla, and salt, tamping down as needed. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if the blender struggles.
- Check texture. It should be the texture of soft-serve — thick enough to hold a swirl. Do not over-blend or it turns drinkable.
- Bowl it. Spoon into bowls, smoothing the top.
- Top it. Drizzle with peanut butter and add granola, banana slices, chia seeds, and berries in pretty rows.
- Serve. Serve immediately — smoothie bowls melt fast.
💡 Bowl smarts
Frozen banana is non-negotiable for the thick texture — fresh banana makes a drinkable smoothie. A high-speed blender and a tamper are your best friends; stop and scrape rather than adding liquid. Work fast once it is blended.
Common questions
Can I make it nut-free?
Yes — swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Can I prep it ahead?
Blend and freeze in a container; let it soften 10 minutes and re-blend briefly before serving.
Why is mine too thin?
Too much liquid or not-frozen-enough banana. Add more frozen banana and blend again.
Can I add protein powder?
Yes — a scoop of vanilla protein powder blends right in; add a splash more milk.
