Saturday Morning Glory: Cherry Almond Smoothie Bowl – A Feast for the Eyes and Taste Buds

As we continue our cherry themed week I wanted to offer something chill for Saturday. Weekends are for leisurely breakfasts that not only taste delightful but look magnificent. The Cherry Almond Smoothie Bowl is a celebration of vibrant colours, fresh flavours, and nourishing ingredients. With the succulence of Okanagan cherries and the richness of almonds, this smoothie bowl brings a gourmet touch to your Saturday morning.

Smoothie Bowls aren’t just food; they’re art. The deep red hue of Okanagan cherries blended with the creaminess of almond butter creates a canvas for you to decorate with nutritious toppings. Every bite is a perfect harmony of sweet and nutty flavours.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen Okanagan cherries
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Toppings: Sliced almonds, fresh cherries, shredded coconut, granola

Instructions:

  1. Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the cherries, banana, almond milk, almond butter, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Decorate Your Bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl and garnish with sliced almonds, fresh cherries, shredded coconut, and granola.
  3. Savour the Taste: Dive in with a spoon and enjoy this refreshing and satisfying breakfast.
