I came across a plum tree, on a run recently, that was completely hidden from view, except for one lone plum that was dangling from a protruding branch right at eye level. I stopped, followed the branch to the tree, and found a hidden treasure trove of ripe plums. Score! 20 minutes and one stuffed shirt front later, I was in my kitchen blending up this sweet/tart smoothie bowl for breakfast.
My favorite part of this vegan smoothie bowl is how the plums pair so well with warm spices. They tip their hat to the cooler fall weather while tasting sweet/tart and refreshing all at the same time. I also love their beautiful deep purple color which can only be described as regal.

How to Make Spiced Plum Smoothie Bowl
Step 1:
1. Add the plums, bananas, and almond milk to a blender container followed by the oats, vanilla, spices, 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 oatmeal, into 2-3 bowls and top with cacao nibs.
Enjoy as a sweet/tart breakfast or healthy and filling dessert!
