Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Bowl
Why this recipe works
- Thick, spoonable texture: Banana, Greek yoghurt, peanut butter and oats blend into a dense, creamy base that holds up well in a bowl.
- Fast breakfast prep: Everything is blended together in one step, with no cooking required.
- Sweetness you can control: Ripe banana provides natural sweetness, while honey can be added only if the bowl needs a little more balance.

Texture tips
- For a thicker bowl: Use sliced frozen banana and keep the milk and yoghurt cold before blending.
- For a smoother finish: Blend until the oats are fully broken down, scraping the sides of the blender as needed.
- If it will not blend: Add a small splash of milk and blend only until the mixture starts to move freely.
Ingredient notes
- Choose a ripe banana: A well-ripened banana gives better sweetness and a creamier texture than an underripe one.
- Adjust the dairy: Whole milk keeps the bowl rich and blendable; using more Greek yoghurt makes it thicker and tangier.
- Use honey carefully: Honey is optional, so taste before adding it. Skip it when serving to young children.
Make-ahead tips
- Freeze the banana ahead: Slice and freeze the banana in advance for a colder, thicker smoothie bowl.
- Best served straight away: The texture is at its thickest immediately after blending.
- If storing briefly: Keep it sealed in the fridge, then stir well and loosen with a splash of milk if it becomes too firm.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the banana. Add it to a blender with the whole milk, greek yogurt, smooth peanut butter, soy protein isolate and rolled oats.
- Blend until very smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. If it is too thick to blend, add a small splash more whole milk and blend again just until it moves.
- Taste and blend in the honey if you want it sweeter. Pour into a bowl and serve straight away.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For the thickest, spoonable texture, use a well-ripened banana and keep the whole milk cold.
- If using a fresh banana, slice it and freeze it ahead of time for an extra thick smoothie bowl.
- If serving to young children, skip the honey.
Substitutions
- Replace whole milk with more greek yogurt for an even thicker, tangier bowl.
- Replace honey with extra banana for sweetness without added sweetener.
- Replace rolled oats with a little more soy protein isolate for a smoother, higher-protein texture.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best eaten immediately. If needed, refrigerate in a sealed container and stir well before eating; loosen with a splash of whole milk if it thickens too much.
