1. Gingerbread Smoothie

This new smoothie is made with bananas, vanilla protein, pumpkin granola, gingerbread spice, and cashew milk. If you’re in the mood to eat an entire gingerbread house, this might be a healthier alternative but still satisfy your gingerbread cravings. It’s also great for on-the-go students who have a busy day ahead of them. The protein in the smoothie will keep you full for hours.

2. Avalanche Bowl

This coconut based bowl is made with blue spirulina and topped with bananas, pomegranate, coconut flakes, and cinnamon. The name for this bowl really fits since it looks like you’re eating a bowl of snow. This unique take on a classic coconut bowl goes well with the frosty winter theme.

3. Immunity Boost Juice

The juice is made with cucumbers, carrots, apples, beets, spinach, ginger, and lemon. It’s perfect for when you feel like you’re getting sick or just want a healthy drink.

The classic acai bowl takes a twist with this new winter bowl. The bowl is acai based, topped with blueberry flax granola, bananas, raspberries, chocolate peppermint sauce, and mint. The peppermint sauce adds a unique flavor that many people love during the holiday season. Even during the colder months, this sweet bowl  can be a great pick me up during finals since it’s filled with antioxidants. 

If you want to feel more festive during this winter season, don’t miss out on these new winter specials from Playa Bowls since they’ll only be available for a limited time.
