Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1 cup quick oats or rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 to 1.5 cups oat milk
  • Fresh berries for topping (optional)
  • Peanut butter for drizzling (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 high-speed blender
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 smoothie bowl spoons or spatulas
  • 2 Serving Bowls
  • 1 small whisk (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients in one place.
    Measure out 2.5 cups of frozen mixed berries, 1 cup of quick or rolled oats, 3 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, and 3/4 to 1.5 cups of oat milk.
    If you plan to use extra fresh berries or a peanut butter drizzle as toppings, have those ready as well.
    Preparing ingredients ahead of time ensures a smooth workflow and prevents last-minute scrambling.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen berries, oats, and peanut butter into a high-speed blender.
    Start with the smallest amount of oat milk—approximately 3/4 cup—to help the blender move the ingredients while maintaining a thick, creamy texture.
    The oats will absorb liquid during blending, so it’s easier to start with less milk and adjust gradually.
  3. Blend Until Smooth and Creamy: Secure the blender lid and start blending on a medium setting.
    Gradually increase speed to high, blending until the mixture achieves a thick, smooth, and creamy consistency.
    Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
    If the mixture is too thick to blend, add oat milk in small increments—1 to 2 tablespoons at a time—until you reach the perfect creamy consistency.
  4. Transfer to Bowls: Once blended, carefully pour the smoothie mixture into two wide, shallow serving bowls.
    Use a spatula to scrape every last bit from the blender, ensuring no nutritious goodness is left behind.
    Smooth the top slightly for a visually appealing presentation.
  5. Add Toppings: Enhance your smoothie bowl by adding fresh berries on top.
    You can use blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries for extra texture and vibrant color.
    Drizzle a small amount of peanut butter over the top for added flavor, healthy fats, and an attractive finishing touch.
    Get creative with presentation: arrange berries in patterns or clusters for a more inviting look.
  6. Serve and Enjoy Immediately: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh.
    Grab a spoon and savor the creamy, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor of your Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie Bowl.
    The combination of fiber-rich oats, plant-based protein, and antioxidant-packed berries makes this not just delicious, but a nourishing start to your day or an energizing snack.
  7. Optional Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, you can cover the smoothie in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
    Note that the texture may thicken slightly; simply stir in a splash of oat milk before eating to restore creaminess.

Notes

  • Use any combination of berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) as long as the total equals 2.5 cups.
  • Start with the minimum oat milk (3/4 cup) to maintain a thick smoothie; add more gradually if needed.
  • Rolled oats can be used instead of quick oats, but soaking them for 10 minutes in oat milk can create an even creamier texture.
  • For added protein, consider stirring in a plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt.
  • Garnish with seeds, granola, or coconut flakes for extra texture and visual appeal.
