Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes get stuck in meal ruts. Especially breakfast. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl is a great way to change things up, for a healthy and delicious way to start your day!
One of the things always on my weekly grocery list is bananas. They make a great snack and we love adding them to cereal, oatmeal, and bread. As many bananas that my kids will eat, inevitably I always seem to have 2 or 3 that are extra ripe. I’m almost convinced my kids leave them to overripen on purpose so they can have banana bread or this Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl!
Since I almost always seem to have a few bananas on the counter that have seen better days, I needed recipes to use them. This smoothie bowl recipe tastes best with overripe bananas – like the kind you would use to make banana bread! They give the most flavor!
You guys, this recipe is so easy. However, you will need a blender or food processor. This is a great recipe for those busy mornings. Just place all of the smoothie bowl ingredients in a blender, blend, and pour it into a bowl. Then top it off with your favorite toppings. Finally, devour the yumminess!
Besides bananas, you’ll need a few common ingredients. I would suggest freezing the yogurt for a thicker smoothie. I’ve included some suggested toppings in the recipe, but feel free to add things you like for a custom recipe. I’ve even added a few additional topping ideas in the recipe notes.

Ingredients
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl
- 2 large overripe bananas peeled, sliced, and frozen
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- 1 container vanilla Greek yogurt, frozen (or 1/2 cup) 5.3 oz.
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Toppings
- Roasted peanuts
- Banana slices
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Granola
- Chocolate sauce or melted chocolate chips
- Creamy Peanut Butter
Instructions
- Combine bananas, milk, yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a large blender or food processor.
- Blend/process until smooth. Pour into a bowl, and top with toppings.
- To make the chocolate drizzle, either use chocolate sauce (like for ice cream or chocolate milk) or scoop about 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips into a microwave-safe baggy. Zip closed. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until chocolate is melted. Repeat for an additional 20-30 seconds if chocolate is not melted yet. Snip a small corner off the baggy and drizzle chocolate over smoothie bowl.
- To make the peanut butter drizzle, scoop about 1 tablespoon peanut butter into a microwave-safe plastic bag. Zip closed. Microwave for 15-25 seconds until peanut butter is softened. Snip a small corner off the baggy and drizzle peanut butter over smoothie bowl.
- Serve cold, immediately.
Notes
- To make the smoothie bowl thick, more like soft-serve ice cream consistency, and easier to eat with a spoon, be sure to freeze the yogurt, as well.
- Other toppings ideas for your smoothie bowl include almonds, pecans, coconut, dried fruit, or other fresh fruits like strawberries, cherries, or blackberries.
