Filled with Chobani Greek Yogurt pouches, and topped off with tons of delicious fruit this Smoothie Bowl Recipe is kid and adult approved!
I have partnered with Chobani to create this smoothie bowl recipe and post. All opinions expressed are completely my own.
If you read my last post, you know that I’m working on eating healthy. Which means: if mama is eating healthy, EVERYONE is eating healthy. Snacks are our downfall 1000 percent. I mean, my kids can sniff out the crackers and chips like bloodhounds but those fruits and veggies? Not so much.
So, I’ve realized that if I want anything to happen, I need to be the one initiating it. Whether it’s getting kids to school on time, cleaning clothes, getting my kids to do chores or even getting them to eat their veggies, I gotta make it happen.
So our breakfasts and after-school snacks have slowly turned into smoothies and smoothie bowls. Mainly because I can put all sorts of healthy goodies into there without them suspecting a thing. As long as it tastes good and is on the sweeter side, I can get away with just about anything {even frozen broccoli}! Mwahahaha.
How to make this Smoothie Bowl Recipe:
The whole basis of this recipe is centered around two of these Chobani Kids Greek Yogurt Pouches. I always have them in my fridge because my kids love them and they are a healthy choice to reach for.
I love using Chobani Kids Greek Yogurts for many of my recipes because they are packed with protein, a good source of calcium, made with only natural ingredients and have 25% less sugar* than the leading kid’s yogurt.
So into your blender, add in a small little splash of orange juice, half a ripe banana, a heaping cup of baby spinach and two of these Chobani Kids’ Strawberry Pouches.
Top with a few ice cubes and blend until smooth.
Now, that’s a bright and fun color! You can serve this as is for a drink to go.
OR! Pour it into a shallow dish and create a smoothie bowl.
For our toppings, I just grabbed what we had on hand, prepped it all and let my kids pick what they wanted.
This was Brooke’s smoothie bowl. She went for a little bit of everything, plus a few pepitas for crunch. I’m turning that girl into such a foodie!
And, because we had some fun colored straws on hand, Brooke and Blake obviously had to have both a straw and a spoon to enjoy these afternoon snacks.
The best part about this recipe is knowing my kids are getting lots of protein and calcium {thanks to the Greek Yogurt!} and several servings of fruit and veggies too. When food tastes good and I give my kids the freedom to pick their toppings, it makes for happy, full tummies.
What healthy snacks do you like to feed your kids? Have you ever tried a smoothie bowl before? I think you’d love it!
