TL;DR
Playa Bowls introduces new menu items for Women's Health Month, including the Mermaid Mood Bowl, Mango Glow Bowl, Purple Mermaid Smoothie, and Passion Glow Smoothie. The new menu items are designed to support energy, recovery, and wellness, and feature unique ingredients such as collagen peptides and Nutella drizzle.
The star of Mermaid SZN is the Mermaid Mood Bowl, featuring a Nutella drizzle and seashell treat. The bowl blends Playa Pitaya and Playa Coconut bases, swirled with blue spirulina to create a flavorful mix of pink, blue, and soft purple tones reminiscent of ocean waters where mermaids thrive. Topped with strawberry, pineapple, blueberry flax granola, and coconut flakes, the bowl is finished with Nutella drizzle and a one-of-a-kind seashell, where biting into the chocolate hazelnut shell reveals a rich, gooey center, a small indulgence worthy of every mermaid at heart.
Additional Mermaid SZN menu items include:
Mango Glow Bowl: A Mango-based blend with collagen peptides, layered with fresh strawberry and banana, then topped with chia seeds and a dollop of coco whip. It is described as delivering the “glow from within” effect.
Purple Mermaid Smoothie: A smoothie blending Playa Pitaya with banana, pineapple, blue spirulina, organic coconut milk and vanilla protein, finished with a coco whip swirl.
Passion Glow Smoothie: A tropical blend of Playa’s Passion Fruit base and Playa’s Mango base, infused with collagen peptides, strawberries, organic coconut milk, and finished with a coco whip swirl.
“Mermaid SZN is all about supporting our important mermaids during Women’s Health Month with flavorful, beautiful, and functionally beneficial meals that you can only find at Playa Bowls,” said Danielle DeAngelo, director of research and development at Playa Bowls. “Details like the seashell on our Mermaid Mood Bowl and coco whip swirls are designed to be discovered and enjoyed, adding a playful, distinctive moment for guests.”
Playa Bowls offers a menu of superfruit bowls and a surf culture-inspired brand identity. Mermaid SZN builds on that foundation with offerings intended to support energy, recovery, and wellness, reflecting the season through vibrant creations.
