Just letting you know, this Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl recipe was originally published September 2015. I retested, rephotographed and updated the content for you. Hope you enjoy it!
Pumpkin this and pumpkin that everywhere. I swear every year pumpkin season starts earlier and earlier. I don’t know about you, but I’m not quite ready for pumpkin season. Something about 100 degrees and pumpkin doesn’t mix well. Let me just sweat over here as I down a low calorie pumpkin spice latte!
What I can get down with is a cool smoothie bowl with pumpkin. A fall seasoned treat that gives will give you your pumpkin fix without making you sweat. It’s been my go to treat these last weeks as I envy everyone else in cooler weather.
Okay, so I know pumpkin in a smoothie bowl sounds strange, but trust me it’s delicious. Much more delicious and balanced than other smoothie bowls and here’s why.
- Acai – High in antioxidants and protein. Bet you didn’t know that! Also, adds a unique, sweet flavor.
- Greek yogurt – adds a creamy texture and protein to a smoothie bowl.
- Pumpkin – High in fiber, potassium and Vitamin C.
One of the reasons I love pumpkin season is because it’s so good for you and you can sneak it into so many things.
Pumpkin protein balls, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin brownies, pancakes, healthy pumpkin muffins, pumpkin donuts and smoothie bowls! It’s such a versatile ingredient that’s lower in carbs. It’s high in fiber so the blood sugar effect is slower than eating a bag of candy.
Now grab your spoon and let’s cheers to almost pumpkin season!

So excited for pumpkin everything! This recipe looks delicious!
Thanks Jill, I could eat pumpkin year round.
Those raspberries look awesome! I have had yellow one but never one that looks that orange! Beautiful bowl!
Thanks Laura! I was drooling over them in the store. They’re hard to find.
So ready for all the pumpkin :). We have Acai bowls in NYC, but I’ve yet to have one !
What? You need to try one Nicole! I bet they have really good ones there. Get one with nut butter, they’re dreamy.
Hi Megan, You know I love my acai bowls. However, I have not had a pumpkin one. This sounds incredible. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂 I hope the whole world gets a chance to experience the deliciousness of the acai bowl soon hahahah
Right? Hope you get to try the pumpkin in your smoothie bowls!
I so need to try those sambazon packs!! I need acai bowls in my life.
Yes you do Ashley!
I still haven’t tried acai bowls, that really needs to change. I need to put that on my mental Whole Foods grocery list. I’m on the struggle bus today after getting up at 4 am to go train for my new job at a gym. I could really use one of these right now. Will just daydream about it instead 🙂 Hope you are having an awesome day chick!
You would love it Sam, like smoothies there’s so many ways to make them. Hope the new job is working out well for you!
I have not had an acai bowl. There is such a lack of healthy options in Memphis. If I do ever find acai I will definitiely give this a try. Thanks for sharing

That surprises me for a big city like that.
I’m totally obsessed with acai bowls. I usually have one at least twice a week. The Sambazon packets are the best! So glad you enjoy them as much as I do… definitely going to have to try adding some pumpkin! Love the twist 🙂
I love them too, but forget that I have them & forget to make them. Hope you enjoy the pumpkin addition!
I’ve still not had an acai bowl! But they are getting HUGE!
They’re basically a smoothie bowl with acai. You gotta get on it!
I’ve never had an acai bowl, maybe it is a west coast thing? I’ll have to try yours 🙂
They are very popular here, but have not migrated east yet. 🙂
