Never doubt the power of a smoothie bowl. It is not at all like a normal smoothie that you’ll drink out of a glass or through a straw. No, this is more reminiscent of ice cream. But for breakfast.

Servings: bowl
Equipment:
Ingredients:
Smoothie bowl
- 1 ½ Bananas sliced and frozen overnight
- 80 ml Oat milk or other plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Cacao powder
- 1 tbsp Maca powder optional
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
Toppings
- ½ Banana
- 1 tbsp Granola
- 1 tsp Chia seeds
Instructions:
Freeze the banana
- Starting the night before you want to make the smoothie bowl, slice your banana and spread it out into a container or freezer bag. Make sure to keep a thin layer of banana so it doesn't freeze into large chunks.
- Place the sliced banana into the freezer and allow it to freeze overnight.
Blend the smoothie bowl
- Place your frozen banana and all of the other smoothie bowl ingredients into a high-powered blender
- Start by pulsing together the ingredients a few times until the mix starts to blend together
- Continue blending the mix until it starts to form a thick liquid that resembles ice cream. It should be a light chocolatey brown colour.
- If your blender is a little bit old or not as powerful as you'd like, take a few moments to mix everything around inside the blender using a spatula before blending again. If it really struggles, add a splash more plant-based milk.
- Use a rubber spatula to decant the smoothie mix into your favourite breakfast bowl before adding your desired smoothie bowl toppings
Topping ideas
With this peanut chocolate smoothie bowl, I like to keep my toppings simple – just a sliced banana and a sprinkle of granola. Here is a full list of really tasty smoothie bowl toppings you can try:
- Granola: a good quality granola adds a nice crunch to the chocolate smoothie bowl
- Nuts & seeds: try this breakfast topper by Wellnoa or sprinkle on some chia seeds
- Fruit: I like to use sliced banana but you can play around with other fruit toppings like mango
