PB and J Smoothie Bowl

PB and J Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are a new and different way to enjoy your favorite blended beverage with a spoon. The trick is making it a little thicker and enjoying it in a bowl with toppings. Since it’s so important to include protein at breakfast, I have been incorporating protein powder and powdered peanut butter in many of my recipes. Combining powdered peanut butter*** with 100% grape juice is like flavor explosion. This PB and J Smoothie Bowl packs the taste of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without any refined sugar. For less than 300 calories, you’ll benefit from 28 grams of satisfying protein to keep you going all morning. You may just lick the bowl!

Have you ever made a smoothie bowl? What’s your favorite flavor combo?

*** Powdered peanut butter is an amazingly versatile product. Traditional peanut butter packs 200 calories and 7 grams of protein per 2 T serving, powdered peanut butter has only 45 calories with 5 grams of protein for the same serving size. Simply stir it into yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, or reconstitute it with water, milk/milk substitute or grape juice to make it spreadable just like peanut butter. It’s a game changer for those looking for extra flavor and protein without extra calories.
