This fragrant pumpkin bowl comes from the lovely Allison (the gal behind a lot of Sari images). It's delicious, simple, refreshing, and packed with 100% natural vitamin C goodness from acerola cherries. The first thing you’ll notice about this bowl is its gorgeous orange color—that is, until you take your first spoonful. Then you’ll be absolutely blown away by its amazing sweet-n-creamy pumpkin-spice flavor!

Did you know that because they contain seeds, pumpkins are classified as fruits rather than vegetables? Not only are pumpkins a type of fruit, they’re actually berries! Pumpkins develop from the flowers of the plant. Each little nub at the base of a pumpkin flower eventually grows into a nice, big pumpkin—a loveable, oversized autumn berry that’s ready to become the feature ingredient in our yummy smoothie bowl. Berry good indeed!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup fresh pumpkin puree*
• 1 banana, fresh or frozen
• ⅓ cup plant-based yogurt (we used coconut)
• ⅓ cup plant-based milk
• ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp ground ginger
• A squeeze of lemon juice
• 1 tsp Sari Foods Organic Vitamin C Powder

Directions:

Place ingredients in a high speed blender and process until smooth. Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
