Yes, but the winter time!

That's me with Playa Bowls, even when the thermometer dips to 30 degrees! It might seem counterintuitive to grab a pitaya or açaí bowl when it's so cold, but trust me, it's a game-changer. I often get asked, 'Do Playa Bowls even have winter specials?' And while dedicated 'specials' might vary by location, there are definitely ways to make your Playa Bowls experience perfectly cozy for the colder months. First off, always check their official app or social media pages. Many locations will quietly roll out seasonal promotions, like discounts on specific bowls or new limited-time flavors that are perfect for winter. Sometimes it's a 'buy one, get one' on certain days, or a small discount if you order ahead. Keep an eye out! Even without explicit 'winter specials,' you can create your own. My go-to is usually a pitaya bowl, packed with hearty toppings that make it feel more substantial. I often choose a base with added protein to give it that extra oomph. For toppings, I absolutely love adding Nutella – its rich, creamy texture is so comforting. Paired with fresh strawberries and crunchy granola, it feels indulgent without being overly heavy. I've also tried experimenting with warm toppings if available, or asking for extra ginger or cinnamon in my base for a warming kick. My last bowl, which you can see in the picture, was an açaí and pitaya dream with layers of granola, sweet bananas, even more strawberries, a generous drizzle of Nutella, and a surprising touch of white chocolate. It was pure bliss! Another tip for enjoying Playa Bowls in winter is to think about the experience. Instead of eating it on the go, I love bringing my branded paper bag home and enjoying my smoothie cup or bowl while curled up on the couch with a warm blanket. It transforms a quick snack into a luxurious #winterbrunch moment. You can also customize your bowls to be less 'icy' if you prefer – just ask for a slightly thicker blend or fewer ice cubes if they use them in your specific base. Don't let the cold stop you from enjoying your favorite bowls. With a little creativity and a keen eye for promotions, Playa Bowls can absolutely be a delightful winter treat. It’s all about finding what makes you feel good, even when the weather isn't cooperating. So next time you're debating if it's too cold for a smoothie bowl, just remember my 30-degree rule – it's always a good time for Playa Bowls!
