Protein PB & J Smoothie Bowl
This Protein PB & J Smoothie Bowl is my favorite smoothie bowl recipe. Peanut butter, strawberries, and blueberries are the perfect combo, and the scoop of vanilla protein powder will help keep you full until lunch.

I’m loving my new Ninja Foodi® Smoothie Bowl Maker! It’s a total game-changer for making smoothie bowls. It has a built-in tamper that pushes the ingredients toward the blade to power through heavy loads. And it allows you to do this with less liquid, which is key.
What is the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl?
A smoothie bowl has a thicker consistency than a smoothie because it has less liquid. Smoothie bowls are served in – you guessed it – a bowl and eaten with a spoon.
Toppings
Toppings are part of the fun of smoothie bowls – they make the bowls look so pretty. I like to top mine with extra peanut butter and fresh berries. You can really get creative and customize your smoothie bowl with a variety of toppings. Below are some ideas:
- Slivered almonds
- Chia, flax, or hemp seeds
- Drizzle of maple syrup
- Drizzle of almond or coconut milk
- Melted peanut or almond butter
- Fresh berries
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
How to Meal Prep Smoothie Bowls
Smoothie bowls are great for meal prep because they only take a few minutes to blend when you’re ready to eat. Make smoothie bowl kits by portioning out your frozen fruit in baggies or containers and storing it in the freezer. Then in the morning, put the fruit in the blender with the milk, protein powder, and peanut butter and blend. Eat the smoothie bowl right away as it’s meant to be eaten cold.
Smoothie Bowl Variations:
- If you’re allergic to peanuts, sub the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Switch up the flavor of the bowl by using cashew or almond butter.
- Swap the berries for blackberries or raspberries.
