A quick, easy, and nourishing peanut butter breakfast bowl packed with protein and creamy texture, perfect for energizing busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter, creamy and unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather and prep ingredients: measure peanut butter, Greek yogurt, protein powder, mashed banana, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using).
  2. In a blender, combine peanut butter, Greek yogurt, protein powder, mashed banana, and milk. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Adjust consistency by adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired creaminess is reached.
  4. Stir in honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Pulse briefly or fold in by hand.
  5. Optionally, sprinkle in chia seeds and pulse briefly to mix or save as a topping.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to chill and thicken. Add toppings like sliced almonds, fresh berries, or extra peanut butter if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Blend wet ingredients first, then add powders slowly to avoid clumps. Add liquids gradually to control consistency. If protein powder clumps, sift before blending. Refrigerate to thicken and enhance flavors. Avoid freezing leftovers as texture may separate.
