Print Recipe

A velvety smooth, thick smoothie bowl combining rich chocolate and peanut butter flavors with high protein content, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Toppings (optional): sliced bananas, crushed nuts (peanuts or almonds), dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, fresh berries, drizzle of peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Slice bananas and freeze them in advance for at least 2 hours.
  2. Gather all ingredients and add frozen bananas, cocoa powder, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup to a high-speed blender. Secure lid tightly.
  3. Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending. The mixture should be thick but blendable, like soft-serve ice cream consistency. Add more milk if too thick.
  4. Check the texture; if not creamy enough, blend another 30 seconds. If too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen banana slices and pulse gently.
  5. Pour the smoothie base into a wide, shallow bowl.
  6. Arrange toppings as desired, such as swirling an extra spoonful of peanut butter on top, then scattering sliced bananas, crushed nuts, and cacao nibs.
  7. Enjoy immediately for the best creamy texture.

Notes

Use just ripe frozen bananas for best flavor and texture. Blend cottage cheese and yogurt separately first for an even silkier base. Add liquid gradually to maintain thick texture. Consume immediately for best creaminess; leftovers can be refrigerated up to 24 hours and stirred with milk before serving. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with plant-based yogurt and use plant milk.
