Why We Love This Recipe

Quick and Easy to Make– These almond butter smoothie bowls come together in under 5 minutes, especially if you keep banana slices in the freezer for smoothies! If you don’t have a frozen banana, that’s perfectly fine; bump up the handful of ice.

Keeps You Fuller Longer– Pack your smoothie bowl with protein and healthy fats from nut butter (sub peanut butter if desired), Greek yogurt, and milk. Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to bump up the flavor!

Customize Your Toppings– The possibilities are endless! Top with dried fruits and nuts or a drizzle of local honey.

Smoothie Tips

Sliced bananas can be chopped and stored in the freezer for quick smoothies. Use a zip-top bag for storage; nothing fancy is necessary.

Sub in more milk if you don’t have Greek Yogurt on hand. We use plain, but vanilla or honey flavored can be swapped in just as easily.

Ripe bananas are sweet, and you won’t need to add extra sweetener to this recipe!

Dairy Fuel for Back-to-School

I’m sharing these Chocolate Almond Butter Smoothie Bowls and partnering with ADA Mideast and the Great American Milk Drive.

Sadly, milk is scarce in local food pantries. Dairy is an excellent source of protein, and eating breakfast has been shown to improve kids’ attendance and test scores. If it weren’t for the Great American Milk Drive, many children would go without the dairy their growing bodies need.
