A quick and easy smoothie bowl featuring ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and a crunchy chocolate granola topping. Perfect for a nourishing and indulgent breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (about 7 oz / 200 g), peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp / 60 ml) creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp / 60 ml) Greek yogurt (optional, can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (1.4 oz / 40 g) chocolate granola for topping
  • 1 tbsp (0.35 oz / 10 g) chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 medium ripe bananas into chunks (about 7 oz / 200 g). For a colder bowl, freeze banana slices for at least 1 hour beforehand.
  2. Place banana chunks, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (if using) into a blender.
  3. Add 1/2 cup milk of choice. Start with this amount; add more if needed to reach a thick, spoonable consistency.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds if using.
  6. Blend on high for about 1 minute until creamy and lump-free, scraping down the sides once or twice.
  7. Spoon the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl, spreading evenly.
  8. Sprinkle 1/3 cup chocolate granola generously over the top. Optionally add fresh banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or dark chocolate chips.
  9. Enjoy immediately to keep granola crunchy and smoothie thick.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Freeze bananas for a thicker, ice-cream-like texture. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired thickness. Natural peanut butter works best for smooth blending. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
