Cherry Apricot and Green Swirl Smoothie Bowl

This is a compensated campaign with Cacique and Society Culinaria. As always, all opinions are my own. I hope you enjoy this cherry apricot and green swirl smoothie bowl!

Cherry Apricot and Green Swirl Smoothie Bowl #CaciqueInstaSmoothie #GoAutentico #SoCu #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenI have loved smoothies for years, probably since I was pregnant with RiRi (who is now 16) and I’d stop on my way to work and buy one for breakfast every morning. It’s one of my favorite ways to consume a meal and I typically just throw in whatever fruits, vegetables, yogurts and juices are available in my kitchen. When my bananas begin to brown I’ll peel them and freeze them, and I’ll do the same for any fruit we have that hasn’t been used yet before it begins to soften. Frozen fruit or vegetables is perfect for smoothies because you don’t even need to add ice. No watering down of flavors occurs, and that is excellent. Recently smoothie bowls have become all the rage, and I have to admit at first I just didn’t understand the concept.

Call me a creature of comfort, but I just preferred my smoothie out of a cup like any normal person and was not interested in trying it any other way. I just didn’t understand this new trend! However, once I tried my first smoothie bowl complete with more fruit on top and crunchy toppings I was hooked. Then I chastised myself for judging and quickly started jotting down notes for more ideas. Think of it as a smooth and thick homemade oatmeal, finished off with all your favorite toppings.

Cherry Apricot and Green Swirl Smoothie Bowl #CaciqueInstaSmoothie #GoAutentico #SoCu #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenFor this smoothie bowl I decided to create a fun contrast of flavors with a swirl of color. For the green side I used kale (I prefer this in my smoothie over spinach), a banana, a couple of strawberries, and some frozen pineapple. I added a little honey for sweetness and then for the liquid I used Cacique® Yogurt Smoothie in the Pecan with Cereal flavor. For the purple colored side I used apricots, frozen cherries (the pits are already removed!), some more honey and the rest of the bottle of the Cacique® Yogurt Smoothie. I topped the bowl with some strawberries and blueberries and a lot of crunch with granola, almonds, toasted coconut and chia seeds.

I’m notorious for skipping meals and leaving bowls of cereal to get soggy, but I’ve always loved a good smoothie. This cherry apricot and green swirl smoothie bowl is a delicious way to combine my favorite way to consume fruits and breakfast.

Cherry Apricot and Green Swirl Smoothie Bowl #CaciqueInstaSmoothie #GoAutentico #SoCu #ad | Mama Harris' KitchenNow, let’s talk about the Cacique® Yogurt Smoothie. This yogurt is rich in protein (a total of 8 grams), a good source of calcium (25% of Daily Value) and probiotics, and it’s low in calories and cholesterol. The yogurts come in a variety of flavors from Strawberry to Papaya, but I decided to use the Pecan with Cereal flavor for this particular recipe because I felt it would add some depth and some great nutty flavor.

It was his first time trying a smoothie bowl, but he loves smoothies. Needless to say, he loved it and I’m willing to bet you will to!

    I really need to experiment with smoothie bowls! I bet they’re so much more satisfying than a regular smoothie. Love how you swirled the two colours here 🙂
