Healthy Toddler Snack: Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie Bowl With Superfood Toppings

March 17, 2021      1 Comment

Healthy Toddler Snack Idea: Almond Breeze Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie Bowl With Superfood Toppings. Bananas, chia seeds, blueberries and cacao nibs.

Are you looking for a quick, easy and healthy toddler snack idea? Look no further because this Blueberry Almondmilk Yogurt Smoothie Bowl is delicious and your toddler will definitely devour it! Plus, it’s topped with some of my favorite superfoods for added nutrients and immune boosting benefits!

Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Almond Breeze but opinions are my own.

My twin toddlers have always loved smoothies and when the smoothie bowl trend started we joined right in! I love smoothie bowls because they are so versatile; there are a ton of different toppings to add for varying textures and flavors and you can either use yogurt or another fruit mixture as a base. It’s also a really easy way to add in nutrient dense toppings, like chia seeds and blueberries. Plus, is there anything more aesthetically pleasing than a perfectly designed smoothie bowl?!

Building smoothie bowls only takes a few minutes and it’s a great way to get your toddler involved! Take out their favorite healthy toppings and place them in small bowls for easy access. Then let them choose and add what they want; my girls always love helping and learning in the kitchen.

This smoothie bowl is super easy to make, just start with a base of yogurt — I used the new Almond Breeze Fruit on the Bottom Almondmilk Yogurt. I chose blueberry, but it also comes in peach, black cherry and strawberry. I’ve tried many plant-based yogurts before, but this one tastes the best – and as a plus has no artificial flavors, is a good source of calcium and contains five live active cultures. This almondmilk yogurt has real fruit on the bottom which I love. I add some berries on top for an extra punch, but the Yogurt is fruity and delicious without it.

The best part is it’s super creamy and tastes like a treat so my toddlers love it. There are also a few other flavors of Almond Breeze Fruit on the Bottom Almondmilk Yogurt: Strawberry, Black Cherry and Peach. All of these yogurts are a good source of calcium and vitamin E.

Once you’ve got your almondmilk yogurt in a separate bowl (for added toppings space), plan out your topping order. I started with banana slices, sprinkled chia seeds halfway on the bananas and yogurt, added frozen blueberries next and ended with sprinkled cacao nibs.

Bananas are always a great option for smoothie bowls because they add sweetness and they are a good source of vitamin B6, potassium and fiber. Chia seeds are an easy addition as well because they are packed full of antioxidants and are a good source of protein, fiber and magnesium. I like adding chia seeds to most of my own smoothies and smoothie bowls because of their health benefits and mild flavor.

Blueberries are full of antioxidant power and are high in vitamin C and potassium. My toddlers love frozen blueberries so we always opt for them instead of fresh, but either way you’ll get their awesome health benefits. Lastly, cacao nibs are jam packed full of minerals and nutrients. They have antioxidants, iron, magnesium and are a good source of fiber, protein and healthy fats.

The first time I made this blueberry yogurt smoothie bowl for my toddlers they went wild for it! It was gone in about 5 minutes and then they were grabbing at another yogurt container for more, I’m telling you, it’s so good! The Almond Breeze Fruit on the Bottom Almondmilk Yogurt was definitely the best part for them.

Here are some more topping ideas: unsweetened coconut flakes, flax, chocolate chips, any other fresh or frozen fruit slices, nuts (pepitas, almond slices, etc.), granola, peanut butter or nut butter, cinnamon, honey and so much more! The variety of toppings is endless and you can be as creative as you want. Smoothie bowls are a great way to make snack time fun with your toddler and get some extra nutritious foods into their diet.

Enjoy the recipe below and let me know if you come up with a yummy variation to this!

20 months —> 8 months (same outfit) My little m 20 months —> 8 months (same outfit)

My little man has grown up so much in a year! He’s lost most of his baby chub, I really can’t believe the difference in these two photos.

I’m excited for a fun summer with this wild toddler. He’s adventurous and daring and is going to keep me on my toes. He loves to get wet, dirty, play with bugs, run fast, climb, visit all the neighbors and do all the boy things.

He’s so loving and sweet, gives the best hugs and kisses. He thinks his sisters are THE funniest people and really loves to be included in their playing.

He’s saying so many words, has lots of teeth, signs a bunch of words and is just so smart. And he still eats all the things, puts everything in his mouth which is a phase I am definitely over lol! Like Henry do you really need to taste that mud?! 😂

Back for #TwinningTuesday - with new haircuts! 👯‍♀️

We unplugged for Memorial Day weekend and it was much needed. We spent each day doing things together, working on small projects as a family, spending quality time and connecting.

Life can be so busy and I feel like we’re always rushing around trying to get things done. I wanted to spend some one on one time with each girl this weekend and connect. We did little things together like baking and running errands and took walks around the yard holding hands. I can always tell immediately how much it means to them to have undivided attention. While we might not be able to have one on one time everyday it’s definitely going to be something I try to do once a week, even if just for a few minutes!

How do you carve out time for one on one with your kids?

Did you know that identical twins have nearly identical DNA, but they can have distinct fingerprints? 🧬🔍 

It's mind-boggling how such small differences can come from the same genetic blueprint. Identical twins originate from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos, resulting in them sharing nearly identical genetic material. After the split, random mutations can occur that can lead to subtle variations in their DNA!

#TwinMoms : are your twins identical or fraternal? What are some of the unique differences between your twins? Share in the comments below! 💕

Charlotte and Isabelle definitely have a few key identifying factors when you look at them - a freckle here and there, slightly different shaped eyes and face, a couple of tiny birthmarks. Of course their personalities are totally different too. 😁 I still get them mixed up sometimes - especially back-to and when they wear their glasses!

I’ve been on the hunt for a comfortable and cute I’ve been on the hunt for a comfortable and cute pair of shorts and I think I’ve found the perfect pair. I love the flowy, natural linen-type fabrics for summer and the shorts I found from @shopreddress are perfect for me. Loose around the thighs but fitted at the waist - love them. 

I found some other cute pieces too, a hot pink skirt, soft cotton shirt and the last outfit the colorful piece is actually a bathing suit - so cute! Loved the idea of the rose pink dress but it was a little too much fabric for my frame - it’s my fav color though. 💕

Which outfit do you like the best? I love the second one!

Everything is linked on my LTK (link is in my bio). I would suggest sizing down in everything but the shorts and skirt! 🫶🏻

Henry is 20 months old…almost 2! I can’t belie Henry is 20 months old…almost 2! I can’t believe how much he has grown or how much he has developed. He is not my little baby anymore; he’s in full-on toddler mode.

#StokkePartner We are so glad to have a Tripp Trapp from @stokkebaby ! It is quite literally a chair for life and grows *with* Henry. I love to have him sit in it upstairs at my desk so he can play while I work, clean or whatever I have to get done!

Now you can get everything you need in one bundle! This bundle came with the Tripp Trapp chair and baby set with harness - I love the glacier green color too it’s definitely our vibe.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️ It was a beautiful we Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

It was a beautiful weekend and I fully took advantage of the holiday. Saturday I took a long drive, sang my heart out to my favorite music, stopped at all my favorite stores, got a coffee, checked into a hotel, ordered my favorite lunch, watched my favorite shows, woke up to the sun and quiet, talked to my mom for an hour and a half and came home to spend time with my family. It was exactly what I needed after a mentally tough week.

I’ve learned to take the time I need to clear my head and decompress so I can be a better mom. Personally, I just need a bit of quiet and time to myself, no one talking to me, no one touching me - which sometimes can be so hard to get. Life is busy and we all have things going on, but I’m extra grateful for being able to make it happen this weekend thanks to my husband. ❤️

My favorite part of Mother’s Day was reading the funny “About My Mom” papers the girls made at school. I love that the teachers do this for us - such a great memory and just so sweet. They also brought home flowers, gave me a picture with their handprints and a poem.

Excited to start this week out with a clear mind, lots of love and a smile. 🙂

POV: you unexpectedly become a SAHM…and wouldn’t change anything about it!

Jesse and I both had good jobs that we enjoyed and then all of a sudden there are two babies coming at once. Identical twins! What a shock to the system…but so exciting to have two rainbow babies coming after a loss!

We packed up our whole life, moved and Jesse started a new job. I worked per diem during pregnancy, waited until the girls were 6 months and went back per diem every weekend and occasional weekday shifts. It wasn’t long until we realized how unfeasible it was for me to keep working like that, taking up any family time on the weekends, commuting and paying for childcare on the weekdays I worked. It definitely wasn’t worth it. To even think about full time work and full time childcare for two babies - I’d literally be making almost no profit. Plus it hurt my soul every time I had to leave them. 

So…we made some hard decisions. We cut back everywhere we could. We got rid of my vehicle and became a one car family. It was hard for a while and we are lucky it worked out because it was a huge risk, especially after just buying our first home. 

Fast forward to now, we are still a one car family. We have moved an additional time, have one extra baby and Jesse has a different job. We make it all work! I’m so, so thankful we took the risk so that I could stay home with my babies. The fact that I’ve been home for all of these precious moments and just here for them…I know it’s the most important job in the world…and the hardest. Harder than any real world job I’ve ever had. But I honestly am so glad I’m a SAHM. I will never regret it. ❤️

Are you a SAHM? How did you make it work for your family?
