Why You’ll Love This Peanut Butter Cookie Smoothie Bowl

• Tastes like a cookie ice cream flavor.
• This breakfast is sweet, creamy, and healthy. It contains wholesome ingredients such as frozen banana, frozen cauliflower rice, Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, and cinnamon.
• A vegan and gluten-free smoothie bowl recipe.
• Plus, you can customize this smoothie bowl recipe, by adding your favorite toppings.

Peanut Butter Cookie Smoothie Bowl Ingredients

This recipe only requires 7 ingredients to make this tasty smoothie bowl.

• Organic Frozen Banana: A frozen banana adds more sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie bowl.
• Organic Frozen Cauliflower: I know it sounds crazy, but adding frozen cauliflower is where the thick texture comes from. Don’t worry, you can’t taste it. I recommend using store bought frozen cauliflower, or even frozen cauliflower rice, because it blends up nicely.
• Organic Medjool Dates: Adding a couple of dates makes this smoothie bowl extra creamy and sweet. Also, be sure to make sure that your dates are pitted.
• Organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: To achieve that delicious oatmeal cookie flavor. I suggest using rolled oats or quick oats, but not steel cut oats, since they will not blend properly.
• Organic Unsweetened Non-dairy Milk: You only need a little liquid to blend, since it’s a smoothie bowl. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk that you enjoy.
• Organic Peanut Butter: It wouldn’t be a Peanut Butter Cookie Smoothie Bowl if there wasn’t any peanut butter. I recommend using creamy peanut butter, made with 1 ingredient, peanuts!
• Organic Ceylon Cinnamon: The spice of cinnamon truly brings out the oatmeal cookie flavor.
• Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Flaxseeds are loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

All it takes is 3 simple steps to achieve your cookie ice cream!

1. Add: To begin, add the non-dairy milk, ground flax seeds, peanut butter, Ceylon cinnamon, frozen banana, Medjool dates, and frozen cauliflower rice, in a high-speed blender.
2. Blend: Starting on a low speed, use a tamper to help ingredients blend. Pausing & scraping down sides of the blender as needed. If necessary, add additional non-dairy milk in 1/4 cup increments, until a thick, smooth texture is achieved.
3. Serve: Then, transfer your ice cream smoothie to a chilled bowl. Garnish with peanut butter granola, a drizzle of creamy peanut butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips for making the perfect smoothie bowl

To make the perfect smoothie bowl, make sure to follow these tips!

• Be sure to use frozen fruit and frozen cauliflower to achieve a thick consistency.
• Start with a little liquid as possible, and add more only as needed. You can always add more, but once you add too much, you can’t go back! Pausing in between blending to scrape down sides helps as well.
• Use a high-speed blender, with a tamper, to ensure that your smoothie bowl achieves a thick and creamy texture.
• Make sure that your creamy peanut butter is made with one ingredient, peanuts!
• Add organic & gluten-free rolled oats or quick oats, but not steel cut oats, to achieve the true oatmeal cookie taste.
• Place your serving bowl in the freezer before you begin preparing this recipe and remove it when smoothie is ready. This will ensure that your smoothie bowl stays cold as you enjoy it.

Fresh versus Frozen Ingredients

The key to making smoothie bowls is using frozen ingredients. By adding frozen banana & frozen cauliflower to your smoothie, you will achieve a thicker result, so that you can add toppings, without them sinking. I usually start with a little non-dairy milk and add more, if needed, until I reach the desired thickness.

Smoothie Bowl FAQs

Can I make this Smoothie Bowl a Smoothie?

Absolutely! This smoothie bowl can be as thick or as thin as you desire. Increase the liquid from 1/3 cup to 1 cup, to make it a smoothie.

Can I add Protein Powder?

Yes! To increase the protein content of this smoothie bowl, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. I recommend using an organic vanilla protein powder for this smoothie bowl recipe.

Can I make this Smoothie Bowl in Advance?

Unfortunately, no. I do not recommend making this smoothie bowl in advance. However, you can definitely prep all the ingredients the night before by adding them to a freezer safe bag. That way when you’re ready for it, all you need to do is add the ingredients, along with non-dairy milk to your high-speed blender.
