Nutritious & Delicious Acai Bowl

subheading: While you can find acai bowls with ALL sorts of crazy ingredients (spirulina or bee pollen anyone?), you can also keep it really basic like we’ve done here:

Açaí packets - Look for the frozen acai puree packets, not acai powder. You will find them in the frozen fruit section of your store. The Sambazon brand is a popular and high-quality choice. You can also find the pouches of acai puree at Trader Joe’s and Costco in the freezer section.

Banana - This is a classic addition, and it helps to add natural sweetness, thickness, and flavor. I recommend frozen banana slices for easy blending and to keep a thick texture.

Berries - For some extra natural sweetness and flavor and nutrition, we’re also blending the acai base with frozen blueberries and strawberries. You can use youf favorite berries and just like the frozen bananas, it helps to use frozen berries to keep the texture thick.

Honey - Acai is low in sugar, so I think it helps to have a bit of natural sweetness either from fruit, honey, or a combination of both. Add sweetener to taste, you can adjust according to your preference.

Liquid - I’ve used almond milk, but you can use your milk of choice - dairy or non-dairy. You can use coconut milk, coconut water, apple juice, or any other fruit juice.

subheading: There are so many ways to add some fun and exciting toppings to your acai bowl at home! Here are a few ideas:

Fresh fruit - Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries all work well), kiwi, and sliced banana are popular toppings.

Granola - Use homemade granola or your favorite store-bought granola. You could also use muesli or even a crunchy cereal.

Nut butters - Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or even chopped nuts…anything goes!

Fun extras - Cacao nibs, cocoa powder for dark chocolate flavor, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, goji berries, bee pollen, spirulina, etc.

Seeds - Chia seeds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, will all add a nutrition boost and some major crunch.

Sweetener - A drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or agave all work well to add sweetness.
