    I love a good smoothie, and this thick peanut butter smoothie bowl is absolutely perfect for summer. Smoothie bowls are like the spring and summer version of oatmeal! They are fantastic to cool down with on hot days, when you don't feel like cooking in a warm kitchen.

    This recipe can also very easily be adjusted to make as many servings as you'd like. And since it uses ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, it's a great everyday recipe that you don't necessarily have to plan for.

    🥘 Ingredients

    This easy peanut butter banana smoothie bowl only requires 3 ingredients: frozen bananas, peanut butter and milk.

    I prefer to use almond milk or unsweetened oat milk, but you can use any milk you like.

    💡 TIP! Got a sweet tooth? Make the smoothie with chocolate milk instead of plain milk. Trust me, it's delicious.

    You can serve the smoothie bowls plain, or add any toppings you like.

    🔪 How to make a peanut butter banana smoothie bowl

    Smoothies are super easy to make, and this one is no exception. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth. The smoothie will have a very thick consistency.

    When it is blended, add it to a bowl and serve with any toppings you like.

    🍌 Choosing Bananas

    Although any smoothie can be made with fresh bananas, I highly recommend using frozen bananas for smoothie bowls.

    The frozen bananas will make a creamy, thick smoothie, and since it's cold it really gives it an ice cream like texture. It's like eating dessert for breakfast, only it's healthy!

    Using fresh bananas will give the smoothie bowl a much thinner consistency, better suited for drinking than eating with a spoon.

    💭 Top tips

    Here's my best advice on how to make a perfect peanut butter smoothie bowl:

    • If you wish, you can also add some chia seeds or a spoon of peanut butter protein powder to the blender to increase the protein content of the dish. Perfect if you're working out in the morning!
    • This recipe makes 1 large bowl, or 2 smaller servings. You can easily double or triple the recipe to make more.
    • When making thick smoothies, some blenders might struggle to blend the frozen bananas properly. Keep pushing the bananas down into the blender and stir it occasionally with a spoon to help blend the smoothie.
    • Feel like changing up the flavor? Add a spoon of gingerbread spice or cocoa powder. They both taste great with the peanut butter and bananas.

    🥗 How to serve smoothie bowls

    Smoothie bowls can be served as a chilled summertime snack, or as a dessert, but is usually enjoyed for breakfast. The smoothie is much thicker than a smoothie you would drink. Serve it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon!

    I like to add toppings to my smoothie bowls, although this is of course optional. Try adding some sliced bananas or fresh berries, nuts, seeds, granola, muesli, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of peanut butter on top.

    🍲 Leftovers

    The leftover smoothie bowl will melt quickly and have a thinner, liquid consistency within 20 minutes. It can be stored in the fridge as a thin smoothie to drink for up to a day.

    Smoothie bowls are not really suited for meal prep, and should be served immediately after making them.
