Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

• almond milk 1.5 cups
• peanut butter 3 tbsp
• frozen mixed berries 1 cup
• banana 1 medium
• rolled oats 1/4 cup
• protein powder (optional) 1 scoop

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients: almond milk, peanut butter, frozen mixed berries, banana, and oats. If using protein powder, have it ready.
   Tip: Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
2. Add Liquid Base. Pour 1.5 cups of almond milk into a blender. This amount ensures the smoothie bowl is thick but blendable.
   Tip: Start with less liquid if you prefer a thicker bowl, you can always add more.
3. Add Peanut Butter. Add 3 tablespoons of peanut butter to the blender. This adds creaminess and healthy fats.
   Tip: Natural peanut butter works best to avoid added sugars.
4. Add Fruits and Oats. Add 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 medium banana, and 1/4 cup of rolled oats to the blender.
   Tip: Frozen berries help chill and thicken the smoothie bowl.
5. Add Protein Powder (Optional). If you want to reach the target protein of 30g precisely, add one scoop of your preferred protein powder now.
   Tip: Choose an unflavored or vanilla protein powder to complement the flavors.
6. Blend Until Smooth. Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
   Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
7. Serve and Garnish. Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of oats.
   Tip: Use colorful toppings to make the bowl visually appealing.

Pro tips

• For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce almond milk to 1 cup.
• Freeze the banana beforehand to make the bowl colder and creamier.
• Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture.
