You’ll love this 10-Minute Breakfast!
My absolute favorite to-go breakfast is a peanut butter banana chocolate smoothie. It’s like drinking a milkshake, but it’s actually healthy. When I’m feeling like something more substantial or need a bigger protein boost prior to my morning yoga, I make one of these peanut butter smoothie bowls with almond milk and a variety of crunchy toppings. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of cocoa powder for extra flavor, but the peanut butter banana smoothie mixed with almond milk provides a ton of energy and keeps me full for a long time, especially when topped with filling nuts and granola.
I also can’t deny how beautiful smoothie bowls can be. Rows of pretty toppings on top make them one of the most Instagrammable foods ever!
Ingredient Breakdown:
- Natural peanut butter for protein with no added sugar
- Banana for potassium and fiber
- Unsweetened almond milk for Vitamin D and a little calcium
- Whole almonds for protein and antioxidants
- Granola for fiber
I also add coconut shavings, which can be a healthier source of fat, but they don’t really provide important health benefits like the other ingredients.
How will you top your smoothie bowl?
You can add whatever you want to the top of your peanut butter banana smoothie bowl! Chia seeds? Strawberries or blueberries? Whatever you want that you think will pair with the peanut butter banana flavor. If you want more calcium in your diet, you can also swap out the almond milk for low-fat milk. Although almond milk does have some of its own health benefits, it has less calcium and protein than cow’s milk, so it’s best to adjust the recipe based on your own diet. You can also swap out the peanut butter for another nut butter if you prefer or have allergies. I’ve tried this same recipe with almond butter, and yes, it’s just as tasty! As I mention below, the addition of protein powder can also give you an extra pre-workout boost in case you need that too.
