Trio of Smoothie Bowls

Here at HonestlyYUM, we’re all about re-creating classic or average dishes and giving them an unexpected twist. Whether it’s swapping ingredients, adding a new flavor profile or giving a dish a new form, we love to create something new and re-think the ordinary. So when we were introduced to the new Curate Snack bars, the unexpected ingredients in the bars really resonated with us! Curate bars are made with wholesome ingredients like quinoa and oats, are GMO and gluten free, and have no artificial preservatives and flavoring. If you’re looking to change up your snacking routine, Curate bars are now available at your local Target. Their ingredients inspired me to create some unexpected combinations of my own with this trio of smoothie bowls: an orange, mango, turmeric almond smoothie (inspired by the orange and almonds in the Harmonious Blend bar); an acai, dried fig, date and coconut smoothie (inspired by the fig and hazelnuts in the Dark & Tempting bar); and a strawberry, basil, banana cashew smoothie (inspired by the berries in the Sweet & Tart Berry Bliss bar). Yum!
