Are you surprised to know I went two days in a row? And that I ordered the same thing both days? I’m so predictable it’s not even funny. This was one of my first açaí bowl experiences, and the flavor combination of banana peanut butter finally compelled me to create an inspired version for the blog. Let’s do this! This recipe is SO simple, requiring just 10 minutes, 4 ingredients, and 1 blender. The base is açaí, the wonder fruit everyone seems to be raving about, especially when it comes to smoothie bowls. Açaí is a South American-based berry that’s becoming quite popular in the health community, boasting loads of antioxidants, amino acids, electrolytes, and vitamins. I personally love it because (depending on the brand you buy – I like Sambazon), it has very low sugar content. Plus, it blends extremely well with other ingredients as it’s quite neutral in flavor, which is what makes it perfect for this banana peanut butter version! In addition to frozen açaí (which is easy to find at most grocery stores and health markets in the frozen section), I relied on bananas for creamy sweetness, peanut butter powder for a lower-calorie yet high-protein addition, coconut milk, and spinach (hello, fiber and folate). The result is a creamy, thick smoothie bowl that ends up tasting like a banana peanut butter milkshake! For toppings, I went with sliced bananas, berries, coconut, and sunflower seeds. Hemp seeds also make a great addition. I also think this smoothie bowl would be delicious with the addition of your favorite vegan protein powder (chocolate, vanilla, or plain)! I hope you all LOVE this smoothie bowl!
