There are A LOT of things I adore about breakfast in this post. If you guys are anything like Mr K and myself, then you simply cannot function during the day without a good breakfast. When I used to live on my own, I’d wake up early for a lazy but protein-laden breakfast made with whatever was on hand. But things are a little different now.

On a regular week day, my hubs and I hit the gym first thing in the morning (I do protest occasionally – I was never a morning person and that’s still the same), and as soon as we get back, it’s time for him to head off to work. So he prefers something quick and on-the-go for breakfast. I, on the other hand take a little bit longer to settle into my daily routine, while catching up on the blog, so I can afford to enjoy my breakfast a bit more leisurely. But we both want something formidable for breakfast, something with enough nutrition and protein to make it a meal, an actual post workout meal, not just something to tide us over until lunch.

And that’s where these smoothie bowls come into play! Smoothies, like this green tea almond strawberry smoothie, have been our breakfast of choice for a while now. And today I’m going to share with you guys a couple of neat little things that I use in my smoothies to make them absolutely wholesome, and chock-full of flavour!

About JIF Peanut Powder and Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt

A while back, I talked about one of our absolute favourite findings of late – JIF Peanut Powder, where I made this delicious Peanut Butter and Berry, Breakfast Streusel Cake. We’ve been using it on pretty much everything since then, including our smoothies. I love making yogurt smoothies with JIF peanut powder and Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Greek Nonfat Yogurt. My favourite is a layered smoothie or smoothie bowl with Dates, Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie, and a Turmeric Mango Peanut Butter Smoothie layer. So much awesomeness!

You can find Oikos yogurt in the dairy section at Walmart and JIF peanut powder in the breakfast spreads aisle

JIF peanut powder has all the nutritional value of regular peanut butter but with 85% less fat, and no additives or added sugar. Plus it has more protein and less fat than regular peanut butter. So working it into my breakfast smoothies was a no-brainer. And then there’s Oikos greek yogurt. I’ve noticed that a lot of smoothie recipes out there seem to have a ton of added sugar, so using a plain, non-fat greek yogurt is one simple solution. While it’s not low calorie food, the triple zero here means zero fat, zero added sugar and zero artificial sweeteners. Plus it has 15g of protein per 5.3oz, and a hint of vanilla flavour and all the wonderful creamy tanginess of greek yogurt.

And extra protein means that you stay fuller for longer and there’s plenty of help for muscle recovery after a workout. 

Let’s talk about this smoothie and why it’s SO GOOD!

This peanut butter berry smoothie and mango peanut butter smoothie tick all the right boxes for our morning routine. They are so easy to put together, even my hubs could do it. This smoothie recipe has a thicker consistency than what you’d generally find out there, and that’s just my personal preference. Which is why it works just as easily as a smoothie bowl. If you guys prefer a thinner consistency for an on-the-go smoothie in a bottle, you can add a little more liquid in the way of orange juice or milk.

And my solution for summer snacks? Pour some of that delicious smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze them so that we have healthy, fruity, refreshing snacks through out the day. Perfect as an after-school snack for your kids, or an after-work snack for my husband. These vanilla and chocolate protein popsicles are also one of our favourites!

Smoothie popsicles – refreshing summer snack

To keep things interesting and maintain some variety, I add a mix of the following things to make my smoothies.

  • Yogurt (good quality greek yogurt like Oikos Triple Zero), or sometimes my own homemade frozen yogurt.
  • Some protein (in the form of JIF peanut powder here plus the yogurt).
  • Fruits or veggies (or both).
  • Liquid (orange juice or another natural fruit juice or milk).
  • Fiber (something like chia seeds or flax seeds).
  • A sweetener (we forego refined sugar in our smoothies and use dates or ripened bananas instead).

And I often go for a combination of these things along with another layer for a layered smoothie like I did here with the mango peanut butter smoothie. And then you have all the little additions and toppings that go into this peanut butter berry smoothie bowl like chopped nuts for a crunchy texture and the extra protein and healthy fats. It’s double the flavour, and those colours are the perfect pick-me-up in the morning!

the making of a smoothie bowl with toppings

DATES are actually one of my secret ingredients. Instead of adding the usual suspects like frozen banana or agave syrup or other artificial sweeteners, I use dates and I LOVE it. Not only does it act as a sweetener in this peanut butter berry smoothie, it also adds this brilliant smoky, deep flavour that no other sweetener that I’ve tried could match.

And since you only add about 4-5 dates per serving or per person (that’s about the right amount for me), it’s a good balance of sweetness with the added benefit of fiber.

I coupled this with another layer of mango peanut butter smoothie that has another one of my secret ingredients – TURMERIC! Yup, that’s right. Turmeric enhances the colour of the mango layer, but more importantly it adds another dimension of smoky flavour, deepening the fresh, tangy sweetness of mango. Turmeric also has medicinal properties, so that’s a plus too (check out this homemade turmeric pasta to see that pop of colour it can introduce to your food!).

No matter what additions or topping we use, we always keep coming back to the peanut butter berry smoothie with dates. It’s just impossible to get enough of those incredible flavours!

Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie Bowl with Mango Peanut Butter Smoothie

Author: Dini K.
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 2 smoothies or 6 - 8 smoothie popsicles
Print Rate

Ingredients:

Date, Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (1 serving)

  • 1 cup of mixed berries frozen or fresh
  • ⅓ cup Oikos Tripple Zero Greek Yogurt
  • 3 tbsp JIF Peanut Powder
  • 4 -5 dates
  • ¼ cup orange juice more if you prefer a thinner consistency for your smoothie
  • 1 heaping tbsp of chia seeds

Turmeric Mango Smoothie (1 serving)

  • 1 cup cut up mango fresh or frozen
  • ⅓ cup Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp JIF Peanut Powder
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ¼ cup orange juice more orange juice if you prefer a thinner consistency
  • ¼ tsp heaped turmeric powder
  • 1 heaping tbsp of chia seeds I left this out for the smoothie popsicles

Toppings

  • Fresh berries
  • Chia seeds
  • Sliced almonds
  • Your choice of other fruits rock melon, mango, Kiwi fruit, banana

Instructions:

To make the smoothies

  • Place all the ingredients (for either smoothie, separately) in a blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Add extra liquid (orange juice or milk or water) if you like a thinner consistency. I prefer super thick smoothies.

Layered smoothie on-the-go (enough for 2 people)

  • Pour each of the smoothie into a glass or bottle.
  • Enjoy!

Smoothie popsicles (makes about 8, 3 oz popsicles)

  • Prepare your popsicle molds.
  • Pour the mango peanut butter smoothie to fill each mold half way up.
  • Then pour the peanut butter berry smoothie on top (carefully). Since the smoothie layers are thick, the layers will remain separated.
  • Freeze for a few hours until completely set.

Smoothie Bowls

  • Pour the two smoothies into a bowl (I pour them both into the bowl at the same time so that I get two halves as seen in the photos).
  • Add your choice of toppings and enjoy.

    I love making my smoothies in the morning! My kids get jealous if they don’t get up in time to have theirs and I’m chugging mine. I love that you made it in three forms. I’m all about the bowl, my older son loves the drink and my youngest is all about the popsicles!

    Dates, huh! Verrrrry interesting. I wouldn’t have thought to use them in a smoothie. Thanks for the tip. I’m all over making smoothies into pops when the weather heats up. Great idea.

    These smoothies looks delicious Dini, I think I would have to pick the popsicle version first – I’m a sucker for summer treats. But in a bottle for breakfast of course. I love having smoothies for breakfast, so easy and filling. I usually make mine with a base of green tea and spinach, some greek yogurt and then whatever fruits I have on hand – usually frozen berries. I tend not to add sweetener to mine as I don’t like them too sweet (the opposite to my usual preference haha!) but using dates sounds amazing – the extra flavour would be worth the extra sweetness.

    I definitely need to get my hands on that jif peanut powder, I love anything peanuts – would love to be able to put some in my morning smoothie and up that protein content!!

    Dini, this is just so beautiful and delicious looking. I love that you can also freeze them into popsicles! I have a smoothie most mornings, but I have not gone to the smoothie bowl territory even though I ogle them on instagram and pinterest all the time. I love the peanut butter powder addition too, I really need to get my hands on that stuff. Pinning!

    Oh my, this looks so good! I love using the powered peanut butter in a lot of recipes. I haven’t tried them in a smoothie yet, but I will now. I really like the idea of the Popsicle. They would be really refreshing after working out. Now to get me back on my workout schedule!
