Jeremiah’s Post-Workout Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 1

Why This Works

This smoothie bowl packs 30-46g of protein to maximize muscle recovery, with the perfect combo of peanut butter and chocolate to satisfy cravings while keeping you fueled. The frozen banana gives it that thick, ice cream-like texture that makes it feel like a treat, not just another protein shake. See Jeremiah Wheaton make this in his how-to video here.

Base Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana

• 1.5 scoops plant-based chocolate protein powder

• 2 tbsp peanut butter

• 1/2 cup of plant-based milk (oat, almond or whatever you have)

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for extra chocolate flavor)

• 4-5 ice cubes

Instructions

1. Blend it up: Toss everything into a blender. Add the liquid first, then the rest.

2. Get it thick: Blend on high until smooth and thick. You want this thicker than a regular smoothie - it should be spoonable, not drinkable. If it's too thin, add more ice. Too thick? Splash in a bit more oat milk.

3. Bowl it: Pour into a bowl (not a glass - that's the whole point).

4. Top it off: This is where you make it your own. Go wild with toppings.

Topping Ideas (for extra protein and taste)

• Sliced banana

• Extra drizzle of peanut butter

• Granola for crunch

• Cacao nibs

• Hemp seeds

• Chia seeds

• Pumpkin seeds

• Sliced almonds

• Fresh berries

Pro tip: Make sure your banana is actually frozen solid - this is key to getting that thick, creamy texture. Toss peeled bananas in the freezer the night before.

Nutrition Bonus: ~30-46g protein (depending on toppings), healthy fats from peanut butter, and quality carbs to replenish glycogen.
