Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 1 large banana frozen and sliced
- 1 cup strawberries frozen
- 1 cup raspberries frozen
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 0.5–0.75 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Optional Toppings

Instructions
Blending the Smoothie Bowl
- Add the frozen banana, strawberries, raspberries, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, and almond milk to a high-speed blender.
- Begin blending with the minimum amount of almond milk to maintain a thick texture.
- Use a tamper or stop blending occasionally to scrape down the sides and release any air pockets.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth, dense, and creamy, adding small amounts of milk only if necessary.
- Transfer the smoothie to a bowl and finish with granola, banana slices, and a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
Notes
- Use fully frozen fruit to achieve a thick, spoonable consistency.
- Add liquid gradually to avoid thinning the smoothie bowl.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
