Playa Bowls' Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Oct. 21, 2023
Calling all pumpkin pie lovers! There’s an old adage that says you should eat dessert first, and we couldn’t agree more. We’ve got a little cheat for you, though, and it’s creamy, cold, and comes with a straw! The Playa Bowls’ Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is inspired by all the decadence of everyone’s favorite fall dessert, and this squash-spiked treat takes care of that sweet-tooth craving (but minus the subsequent sugar crash!). Each smoothie is blended with frozen bananas, vanilla whey protein, creamy oat milk, and Playa Bowls’ pumpkin-flax granola and finished with a generous sprinkle of pumpkin spice and drizzle of sweet pumpkin butter. Psst—for the true pumpkin fanatics, pair one with the pumpkin Protein Bites! Enjoy a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (a 16oz is $8.99) and plenty of other fall-themed treats at Playa Bowls at 222 E. State St., Suite 101 in Traverse City, or order online at playabowls.com.
