Even though my kids are all grown up now and the years of reading Harry Potter during bedtime is far behind us, I still get nostalgic about words like quidditch and butterbeer. Since we’re closing in on Halloween, it’s the perfect time to dust off my copy of The Sorcerer’s Stone and whip up a nourishing vegan smoothie bowl that’s great for breakfast or dessert.
The Butterbeer at Universal Studios is made with cream soda and butterscotch syrup. This healthy, plant-based smoothie bowl version is made sweet with ripe bananas, dates, sweet butternut squash, creamy silken tofu, and a full tablespoon of vanilla. I’ve tucked some almond butter in there for added richness and protein as well.

But what does it taste like?
Butternut Squash If you’re wondering if this smoothie bowl tastes “squashy” don’t worry. Butternut squash blends up surprisingly sweet and creamy just like pumpkin in a pumpkin pie. And it feels pretty great to start your day knowing you’ve already got some veggies in.
Silken tofu is another ingredient I use over and over again in smoothie bowls for its fool-proof creaminess. Its neutral taste soaks up all that wonderful vanilla turning this healthy mixture into butterbeer. Now that’s kitchen magic!

Method for making Healthy Butterbeer Smoothie Bowl
Step 1:
1. Add the tofu, bananas, and squash to a blender container followed by the kombucha, vanilla, salt, almond butter, and dates.
Step 2:
2. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
Step 3:
3. Scoop the creamy mixture which will be the consistency of loose pudding into 2 or 3 bowls and top with coconut whipped cream and a grating of nutmeg.
Enjoy as a fun and healthy fall breakfast or a wizard worthy dessert!
Note: You can swap out the kombucha for your favorite plant milk.
