Apples and Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl
When it comes to bringing apples and peanut butter together, you simply can’t go wrong. The love of this tasty combo runs deep. You can see this by all the creative ways people enjoy this dynamic duo. Sweet, crispy apples and protein-rich creamy peanut butter taste just as satisfying when blended in a smoothie bowl. Made extra filling and nutrient dense with yam and oats, this healthy vegan smoothie bowl is one more way to celebrate the classic apples and peanut butter team.
Here’s everything you need to make this recipe:
Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas
½ cup of orange-fleshed sweet potato (1 medium, cooked, cooled, and peeled)
¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla
¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt
½ cup of rolled oats
¼ cup of creamy peanut butter
2 large medjool dates, pitted
1 large sweet apple (cored and sliced)
Crushed peanuts and apple slices for toppings
Makes 2-3 bowls
Instructions
1. First, cook your orange-fleshed sweet potato until it is soft. 5 minutes in the microwave should do the trick. Peel off the skin after it has cooled a bit and cut it into chunks. This can be done ahead of time.
2. Add your sweet potato, bananas, almond milk, vanilla and salt to the blender container. Followed by the oats, peanut butter, dates, and apple.
3. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using. If the smoothie is too thick, simply add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Pour the nutty mixture which will be the consistency of loose oatmeal into two or three bowls and top with crushed peanuts and apple slices.
Enjoy as a protein-packed and satisfying breakfast or a nutrient-dense snack!
