A quick and easy creamy protein smoothie bowl featuring almond butter and granola for a satisfying crunch. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or a late-night treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large frozen banana (about 120g / 4.2 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, plant-based or whey)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (180ml / 6 fl oz)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granola (about 30g / 1 oz)
  • Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and slice the banana if not frozen already. Measure out almond butter, protein powder, and other ingredients.
  2. Blend the base: add frozen banana, almond butter, protein powder, almond milk, and chia seeds into the blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, with a thick but spoonable consistency.
  3. Adjust sweetness and texture: taste the blend and add honey or maple syrup if desired. Pulse briefly. If too thick, add more almond milk; if too thin, add ice cubes or more frozen banana.
  4. Transfer to bowl and add toppings: pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl. Sprinkle granola on top, followed by fresh berries or sliced fruit if using.
  5. Serve immediately for best texture and temperature.

Notes

If blender struggles with frozen banana chunks, let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before blending. Blend almond butter with milk first for silkier texture. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Store smoothie base separately from granola if preparing ahead.
