How to Make Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowls
We love all things pumpkin in our house! And my husband — who is a Halloween baby — is especially fond of pumpkin pie.
And these smoothies are a fun and healthy take on the seasonal staple. Yep, they taste like pumpkin pie but are so much healthier. Who can say no to that, right?
Tips on Making These Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Bowls:
- Make Your Smoothie Thick: What’s the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl? It’s mostly the texture. With a bowl, you can also add lots of fun toppings like granola, nuts, nutter butter and/or seeds. If your smoothie feels a little thin, you can add some ice cubes.
- Using Frozen Bananas: If you’re new to freezing bananas for smoothies, here’s a tip. Cut up your bananas and put them in a plastic bag, and freeze them. When you’re ready, you can just throw them into the blender. So easy, right?
- The Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use plain pumpkin puree (without the added spices). We’re going to add our mix of spice, and you don’t want your smoothie to be over-spiced!
- Topping Ideas: Ideas include fresh berries, chopped pecans, banana slices, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and granola.
- Adapt this Recipe: This recipe is easy to adapt to your preference. Want to make it vegan, use maple syrup. Want to use coconut (or oat) milk, go for it! The same goes for the almond butter. Feel free to swap in your favorite nut butter!
- Helpful Cooking Tools: It’s useful to have a good blender when making smoothies and smoothie bowls. I like this one and this one!
