While in Brazil we ate Acai and a lot of it. We’d grab it from a stand for breakfast or buy it off a guy selling it on the hot beach as a nice cold snack – it was so delicious and as it turns out, nutritious. Acai berries are a great source of antioxidants, fiber and heart-healthy fats.
Blended together and topped with fruit, nuts & coconut and you have yourself heaven in a bite! Here’s how you can make it at home:
Recipe: Acai Bowl
You will need:
For The Açaí Bowl:
1/2 cup apple juice
1 banana
2 packets frozen acai (such as Sambazon Original Blend Açaí Berry), thawed for 5 seconds under running water and broken into chunks
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
For The Toppings:
1/4 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries
1 banana, sliced
1/8 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup granola
Chia seeds, as desired
Honey, as desired
Instructions
1. Add the apple juice, banana, acai, blueberries, and pineapple, in that order, to a blender. Blend on low speed until the mixture is thick and creamy. Pause as needed to scrape the mixture off the sides to help it blend evenly. Transfer to a bowl and let it set in the freezer while you prepare your toppings.
2. To serve, top with the strawberries, blueberries, banana, coconut, and granola. Add chia seeds as desired and sweeten with honey to taste. Enjoy immediately.
