Banana Berry Smoothie Bowls

This Banana Berry Smoothie post is a project of The Women Bloggers and Kendal King Group on behalf of our client.

Up until recently I never thought to use the Gerber Cereal for anything other than cereal for the baby. With both of the kids I always had boxes and boxes leftover once they “outgrew” it. Some boxes expired before I noticed, some were given away to friends, and others were donated to the local food panty.

After being challenged to come up with additional ways to use the cereal I made these better for you muffins that the boys love. This past week I also added it in with our fruit smoothies, except I made smoothies bowls topped with fresh fruit instead of our typical smoothies.

By mixing in the Gerber Oatmeal Cereal, we receive additional iron, six B Vitamins, Vitamins E and C, Iron, Zinc and Calcium into our diet.

Banana Berry Smoothie Bowls:

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup fruit juice
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

• 1/3 cup blueberries
• 1/3 cup strawberries
• 1/2 cup banana
• fresh berries to top

Directions:

• Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth
• Pour into bowl and top with fresh fruit.

* You can also add the smoothie mixture into popsicle molds and freezer for a cool & refreshing treat this summer.

 

Have you ever thought to use Gerber Cereal in recipes other than the typical baby oatmeal?
