Fall Smoothie Bowls

Air gets cooler, days get shorter, life gets cozier, and the EATS GET BETTER.. FALL.

I don' t know about you, but I have been getting ALL the fall feels lately. As much as I  love summer there is just something about the change in season that warms my heart and nourishes my soul.

But even with the cooler days and the longer nights, I still LOVE my smoothie bowls. Although my body craves them in a different way - a pumpkin spice, seasonal food kind of way ;)

Why seasonal foods matter:

Eating seasonal food is a simple ways to transition to new recipes and get maximum amount of nutrients. Foods within season often have a higher nutrient content, they are fresher, better tasting, cheaper, AND you can find them locally. Win/ Win I’d say!

Below are a few of my favorite fall smoothie bowl recipes that include cozy, comforting seasonal foods - Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin, and Beets.

Why did I choose three ingredients specifically?

These specific ingredients support blood sugar balance, promote detoxification, provide anti-oxidant support, and have anti-inflammatory benefits! These are all KEY properties in balancing hormones AND reducing stress.

So lets get started:

Fall Feeling Smoothie Bowl

• 1/2 cup sweet potato ( cooked )

• 2 TBSP pumpkin (cooked - fresh or canned)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 1/2 cup water (optional)

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

** You can also cook the sweet potato ahead of time and keep it in the freezer for easy access.

Superfood beet Smoothie Bowl
