Strawberry and Cream Smoothie Bowl

June 26, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

Strawberry and Cream Smoothie Bowl 1

Every spring I look forward to picking strawberries the same way I look forward to picking apples in fall. It’s like a seasonal rite of passage.

But then when the time actually comes to do the picking, typically my basket isn’t even halfway full when I end up thinking about how much easier it would be to just buy the fruit pre-picked. So it goes every year, lol.

And then there’s the issue of what to do with all that fruit. I’m not usually much of a jam maker unless I’m making it to give away (because neither Mike nor I really eat it much), so I inevitably end up with way to many berries (and apples, but we’ll get there in a few months). I like to freeze them to extend their shelf life, and then use them to make things like fruit cobblers, strawberry sauce, and smoothies.

GO Veggie! Dairy Free Strawberry Cream Cheese

My Strawberries and Cream Smoothie Bowl features frozen strawberries and GO Veggie! Dairy Free Strawberry Cream Cheese; there are a couple other additions, but really those two ingredients sum up the flavor profile. The GO Veggie! cream cheese gives it a rich, silky texture while keeping it lactose, gluten, and dairy free (with more calcium than regular cream cheese!).

One of the things I love most about serving this smoothie bowl for breakfast is that it’s just a little different from the norm, which makes it fun. We all know that smoothies in general are a great way to get kids to eat more fruits and veggies, but if you make the smoothie just a touch thicker and serve it in a bowl with a spoon and set out a few toppings to create a smoothie bowl bar, suddenly smoothies are a fresh and exciting breakfast idea.

How perfect would a smoothie bowl bar be for a summer vacation sleepover breakfast? I think it may just make you mom of the year, or at least the coolest mom on the street.

What would you top your Strawberry and Cream Smoothie Bowl with?

    I am the same, I get carried away with berry picking and eventually end up with a cupboard full of jam. But this smoothie sounds like a great tip to use my berries! x

    This looks amazing! So creamy and gorgeous, I LOVE fresh strawberries. Is it bad that I’m imagining how amazing it would be with a dollop of ice cream…?!
