I love nuts, all nuts. Lucky for me that the theme of this month’s Recipe Redux is to “go nuts” – where we will all share a nut-filled recipe. Turns out that National Nut Day falls on October 22nd, one of our monthly Redux theme posting days. Cool!
Powdered peanut butter is my new obsession. I’ve always loved developing recipes with nut butter for the delicious flavor it provides. However, the 90-100 calories per tablespoon that peanut butter adds is sometimes a bit steep for me when I’m trying to keep the calories controlled in my recipes, particularly breakfast. The 45-50 calories per 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter adds pea-nutty flavor with only ¼ of the calories of regular PB. This Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl is packed with 30 grams of plant-based protein that will keep you full all morning. If you don’t have vegan protein powder, no worries. Simply substitute chocolate whey in the recipe if you have some on hand.
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or unsweetened cashew milk
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop 1/4 cup- approx. 25 grams vegan chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1/2 banana frozen and sliced
- 1/2 cup ice
- Toppings:
- 1 Tablespoon powdered peanut butter reconstituted with 1 ½-2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon cacao nibs 4 grams
Instructions
- Place all smoothie ingredients in order into a blender.
- Blend until desired consistency is achieved, you may need to scrape sides down in order to fully blend the chia seeds.
- Pour into a serving bowl, drizzle peanut butter and sprinkle with cacao nibs.
- Notes:
- - If your mornings are tight on time, make this in the evening, cover and refrigerate. Add the toppings in the morning
- - If you don’t need a vegan recipe, try it with chocolate whey protein and mini semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- -If using whey, decrease the liquid to 2 Tablespoons. The plant based protein soaks up more liquid.

Oh I love smoothie bowls. Add nuts and nut butter and I’m loving breakfast.
Thanks, Jill!
My redux is using powdered peanut butter also! When it first came out a few years ago I hated it but I think the quality has gotten so much better! (And now I have another great powdered PB recipe to make!)
Thanks Jess! Can’t wait to see yours too 🙂
pb and chocolate is the best combo ever! I could see myself having this for breakfast! 🙂
Woo-hoo! Let me know if you try it! 🙂
This sounds super yummy Lauren! I’ve actually never made a smoothie bowl. I need to try it now! 🙂
Amee, smoothie bowls are so great because you get smooth and crunchy. Play with the liquids/ice to get the thickness you want.
I would have to say I’m in love with this chocolate peanut butter smoothie..It’s like the kick start 🙂
Thanks, Abby!
Chocolate and peanut butter in a bowl sounds like the perfect morning!
Thanks, Jennifer!
