Creating a healthier Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl
A healthy alternative to our classic Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl is simple to achieve with just a few tweaks. Replace the regular yogurt with Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost and less sugar.
You may add a handful of spinach or kale to add some fiber and vitamins, don’t worry, you won’t taste the greens in your smoothie bowl.
Lastly, replace any processed sugar with natural sweeteners such as honey or agave syrup, or use ripe bananas to add natural sweetness.
Storing your Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl
Once created, our delightful Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl should ideally be consumed immediately. However, if you have leftovers or want to prepare it ahead, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
After this, the ingredients can start to lose their freshness, and any chopping or additions like granola will start to become soggy.
So, enjoy your smoothie bowl as soon as possible to taste it at its best.
Perfect complements to your Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl
Our Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl is an excellent standalone meal, but why not round it off beautifully with some savory toast or a freshly baked muffin for a fuller brunch?
You can pair it with a warm drink like herbal tea or even a cold-pressed juice if you’re serving it in the warmer months.
Remember, it’s not just about the bowl itself, crafting the overall eating experience is key for complete satisfaction.
