Nessy's Note

There are few food combos I enjoy more than peanut butter and banana.

In fact, I ate sliced banana with peanut butter as my afternoon snack every day for over a year and never got tired of it. (I also haven't tired of this Breakfast Peanut Butter Banana Split).

So naturally, I had to bring that flavor duo into a more filling and protein-packed breakfast with this banana yogurt bowl.

While you could top it with something other than peanut butter, why mess with a good thing? 😉

• Greek Yogurt- As in Greek yogurt overnight oats, I use whole milk or 2% for the best flavor and creaminess but non-fat will work if that's what you prefer.
  • Substitution: Any plain yogurt (balkan, skyr, etc.) works but note that the protein content and thickness vary.
• Banana- This bowl, like this banana cream oatmeal, tastes best with a ripe banana (yellow with just a few brown spots) for max banana flavor and sweetness.
  • Substitution: If you'd prefer to flavor your yogurt with a different fruit, check out this kiwi yogurt bowl or strawberry yogurt bowl.
• Toppings- I like pairing banana with strawberry (like in my banana strawberry protein smoothie) plus peanut butter and peanuts (banana + PB is the best!) but you can get creative. I have more topping ideas in my complete guide to Greek yogurt breakfast bowls.

Tips for a Delicious Banana Yogurt Bowl

• Use a ripe banana. All of the sweetness and banana flavor comes from the half banana that you mash with the yogurt. Choose one that is yellow with a few brown spots.
• Experiment with toppings. Try different combos until you find your favorite. I'm partial to peanut butter with banana (the same flavors in this pea protein smoothie).
