Key Ingredients
This recipe only requires 6 nutritious ingredients to make this PB&J.
- Banana: A frozen banana adds more sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie bowl.
- Frozen Berries: In place of jelly, we’ll be blending a combination of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
- Oats: Instead of bread, we’ll be blending up some rolled oats or quick oats.
- Peanut Butter: It wouldn’t be a PB&J if there wasn’t any peanut butter. Your creamy peanut butter should be runny, like a thick liquid, made with 1 ingredient, peanuts!
- Non-dairy milk: You only need a little liquid to blend, since it’s a smoothie bowl. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk that you enjoy.
- Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

Fresh versus frozen fruit
The secret to making smoothie bowls super creamy is using frozen fruit. By adding frozen fruits to your smoothies, you will achieve a thicker result. Also, don’t add too much liquid, because you want add toppings and the worst thing is to have your toppings sinking to the bottom of your smoothie. That’s no fun. I usually start with a little non-dairy milk and add more, if needed, until I reach the desired thickness.
