Happy Pumpkin Halloween! Playa Bowls Is ‘Jacked 4 Pumpkin’ with New Fall Spiced Bowls and Smoothies

It’s all treats, no tricks at Playa Bowls® this fall. After hearing just how much guests missed pumpkin last year, Playa is bringing the seasonal favorite back with Jacked 4 Pumpkin, a fall menu that makes its return worth the wait. The three-item menu pairs nostalgic fall flavors with Playa’s superfruit-forward ingredients, packing antioxidants and fiber into every autumn spoonful and sip.

At the heart of Jacked 4 Pumpkin is the Happy Pumpkin Acai Bowl topped with a chocolate hazelnut creation: a jack-o’-lantern that gives the bowl its signature Happy Pumpkin grin and adds a chocolate hazelnut treat. This seasonal bowl features antioxidant-rich and fiber-forward Acai topped with blueberry flax granola, fresh banana fanned across the bowl, a dollop of non-dairy coco whip and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice, finished with a generous pumpkin butter drizzle.

Beginning September 9, Jacked 4 Pumpkin is available at Playa Bowls shops nationwide. Additional menu items include:

• Apple Cinnamon Crunch Bowl: Acai base topped with freshly diced apples, blueberry flax granola, walnuts and banana fanned across the bowl, finished with a peanut butter drizzle and a dusting of cinnamon for a mix of crisp apple, warm spice and nutty crunch.

• Banana Cream Pumpkin Pie Smoothie: Fall dessert-inspired blend with banana, a natural source of fiber, blueberry flax granola, pumpkin spice and organic coconut milk, layered over coco whip and swirled with pumpkin butter for a banana cream and pumpkin pie profile.

“Our guests made it clear that they missed pumpkin last year, and we listened,” said Danielle DeAngelo, director of research and development at Playa Bowls. “For Jacked 4 Pumpkin, we wanted to give them the pumpkin flavors they were asking for while building out the menu with a mix of fall favorites and something a little unexpected. Apple and cinnamon is a classic, while banana is having a major moment across menus and social media right now.

Since banana is already such a staple at Playa, both for its flavor and functional benefits, we loved the idea of giving it a starring role alongside our Happy Pumpkin Bowl in a Banana Cream Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.”
