They are meant to nourish and satiate you through the morning with the protein from the nut butter, natural fruit sugar (and prebiotics!) from the banana, and fiber from the oatmeal. Enjoy them for breakfast or a snack!

Especially gluten-free amaranth, which ranks as one of the highest protein-containing grains, at nine grams per cup! Sure, this is the perfect smoothie bowl for the fall season, but why not enjoy it year-round? Pumpkin is chock-full of beta-carotene, an important precursor to vitamin A, which serves as a natural protector from the sun (but still wear your sunscreen!).
