In honor of the Hallmark holiday this weekend, I decided to make pink Cream of Wheat.
I’ve seen the “Smoothie in a Bowl” concept all over the blog world so I decided to take it a step further.
First, I created a small smoothie by blending
- POM Wonderful Juice
- Frozen Mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries and strawberries)
- 1 banana
- little honey to sweeten
I then made my Cream of Wheat as normal – 3/4 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of Cream of Wheat – cooked in the microwave.
I combined the two and microwaved together to warm the smoothie up.
I then added Back to Nature Chocolate granola because what is Valentine”s day without a little chocolate.
I really enjoyed the Cream of Wheat Smoothie in a Bowl – a hot breakfast with the benefit of a lot of fruit. Looking back over the last few weeks, I am realizing that I may not be eating as much fruits and vegetables as I should; perhaps that’s another reason this cold won’t go away. Smoothies are a great way to increase your fruit intake – I would have added some spinach if I had had some!
I have already scraped the snowy-ice off my car so off to work I go!

I love the idea of adding pomegranate juice- I bet that was fantastic!!
Thank you for the idea, Heather! You are really creative with this stuff. And it’s wonderful how you pack it with even more nutrition!
Love the smoothie in a bowl! Actually haven’t seen it before, so very cool!
