Sooo…I feel pretty bad for everyone who has been stuck in a pile of snow this week, with their power out, and blizzards swirling all around, and temperatures that are way too cold for me.

Especially because here in San Diego, we’ve been having an absolutely beautiful week of sunshine and more than a few of those days have passed 80ºF. In fact, as I’m writing this, it’s 8:15 PM and I’m sitting outside in a dress and I’m not even chilly.

Sorry to rub it in…kinda. 😉 On weeks like this one, I flip between San Diego and Seattle on my weather app and it makes me really happy that I decided to move home. I’m definitely a California girl at heart!

With this warmer weather starts my itch for summer’s long, warm days, and I’m already starting to crave all the fresh, bright, refreshing food that spring and summer bring with it.

During the spring and summer, juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowls become a staple part of my diet – as evidenced by the number of delicious smoothie bowl recipes I’ve posted over the years! They’re creamy, flavorful, super refreshing, and they make the perfect vehicle for allll the superfoods and allll the toppings.

But let’s be honest, when smoothie bowls are as delicious as this chocolate peanut butter one is, I eat it whether it’s cold or hot out. I’ve been known to bundle myself and hide under a blanket to keep myself from shivering as I ate a smoothie bowl. #worthit

Chocolate and peanut butter together is pretty much my favorite thing ever, so it’s a wonder that it’s been this long without me creating a chocolate peanut butter smoothie bowl. This is just the inevitable coming into fruition, and it’s just as delicious as I imagined.

How do we make this chocolate peanut butter smoothie bowl?

Frozen bananas are the base of the smoothie bowl, and make things super creamy and add lots of sweetness. A little almond milk helps things blend up smooth, and of course we’ve got to have peanut butter and cacao powder (or cocoa powder – whatever you’ve got will work).

Now if that’s all you have, it will be delicious as is, but I loaded mine up with a few of my favorite superfood powders. First, I added a few scoops of my favorite Vital Proteins collagen (that I talked about in my last post) which is flavorless but adds protein and is super good for you.

I also added two teaspoons of MRM’s maca powder and a tablespoon of chia seeds. The maca adds a deliciously nutty and sweet flavor. Meanwhile, the chia seeds will help thicken it all up a little bit.

I topped my bowl off with banana slices, some of my favorite chocolate probiotic granola, more chia seeds AND dark chocolate covered chia seeds, some chopped peanuts and a drizzle of peanut butter. I went a little cray adding my favorite things, but it was soooo delicious.

If you’re a chocolate and peanut butter lover like I am, you’re going to be a big fan of this one. Chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast is always a good thing, right?! If you agree, also see this chocolate peanut butter oatmeal :) enjoy!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • ⅓ cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons cacao powder

Optional add-ins (add them if you have them!):

  • 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen
  • 2 teaspoons maca powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

For topping

  • ½ banana (sliced)
  • Chocolate granola
  • Peanut butter (to drizzle)
  • Chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine bananas, almond milk, peanut butter, cacao powder, and collagen, maca powder, and chia seeds if using, in a blender (I used my Vitamix). Puree until completely smooth – the mixture should be thick. Add a touch more liquid if necessary to get it to blend completely smooth.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and add toppings as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For a lower sugar option, replace half or all of the bananas with steamed and frozen cauliflower!

    I definitely have the itch for spring and summer, too! It’s hasn’t been too bad in Chicago this year (knock on wood!) but it just needs to be summer! :) I always crave fresh fruits and veggies too, so this smoothie bowl was made for me. Love the chocolate and pb combo! The perfect breakfast!

    Holy Macaroni! 2 of my guilty pleasures in one bowl! Chocolate and Peanut Butter are a perfect match after 5 days of dieting. Bless you for sharing it Rachel. I will definitely make some tonight while catching up with some episodes of Game of Thrones (perfect plan to be lazy isn’t it?) Hahahaha Thanks again!

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure…does this recipe mean to have 2 1/2 bananas for one serving for one person? Thanks for your time.

      October 16, 2017 at 10:42 am

      Hi Sally, depending on how hungry you are, this could feed 1 or 2 servings. The recipe calls for 2 bananas in the smoothie. If you want to reduce the sugar, you could use one banana and use a cup of steamed and then frozen cauliflower for the other banana. Enjoy!

    Hi! I haven’t made this but this looks delicious!! I’m vegan and this would be a great recipe just without the collagen since that’s not vegan. Thank you for sharing your recipes they look amazing!!

      Hi Arthur, did you use a high-powered blender? If not, it’s recommended to use extra liquid to get it to a consistency that your blender can handle!
