Pumpkin season is officially here! Personally, I love including pumpkin in my diet year-round. Pumpkin contains high amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin A. It is loaded with fiber, and it is a great thickener for smoothies and soups. Smoothie bowls are both delicious and nutritious, but it is important to be mindful – a lot of smoothie bowls are only a blend of high sugar fruits. This recipe gets your greens in with spinach, but you also get healthy fats from acai and avocado, and fiber from pumpkin. Once blended together, the toppings are endless!
