Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Bowl

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Bowl tastes like a creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup! A perfect protein-packed breakfast or post-workout fuel. Sweet, delicious, and made with just 5 ingredients.

Definitely deserves the hype!

I recently came across a food blog on instagram where about 90% of the posts were bowls like this. Smoothie bowls, protein bowls, acai bowls, what not. And to make the whole situation even more mouth-watering, most of those bowls were chocolate.

Now I wanted one too.

So I came up with this Chocolate PB version. Smooth, sweet and simply chocolatey!

What you need/need to do?

• Frozen Banana: This makes the protein bowl thick and creamy. Also adds natural sweetness so there’s no need to add any sugars.
• Almond Milk: Thin out the shake a little. It also helps blend the protein and banana together.
• Unsweetened Cocoa: Can’t have the chocolate without the coco.
• Protein Powder: There’s a bunch of options here. You can use a chocolate or a chocolate peanut butter. If you use just the chocolate, add 2 Tbsp of peanut butter to the mix.
  As for the choice of protein, I’d recommend Orgain’s Chocolate Fudge and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
  They’re plant-based so you can keep this recipe Vegan.
  AAAND, you can get them for 30% off with the code HAYLSKITCHEN.
• Optional Stevia Sweetener: You don’t necessarily need this because the banana and protein powder should be sweet enough. If the cocoa gets too strong though or your protein powder isn’t as sweet, feel free to add some. I’d recommend Sweetleaf Stevia.

All you need to do is blend everything in a food processor or blender. Use more or less almond milk to make it like a thinner protein milkshake or a thicker nice cream consistency.

If you use the choco pb protein powder, the shake is a lot lower in calories and essentially fat free.

Its also Vegan and Diary-free because of the almond milk. You can switch it out for a light coconut milk if you’d like too, but it’ll add some fat in there.

Super-pumped with protein and low in fat, this smoothie bowl also makes for a great post-workout “meal”/shake.
