What is an acai bowl?
An acai bowl is like a supercharged healthy fruit smoothie bowl. Acai berries are from South American rainforests and are full of antioxidants, fiber, and calcium. They are heart-healthy and are packed with Omega 3s.
You can buy acai puree at many grocery stores, and when blended with FAGE Total Greek Yogurt, it makes an awesome breakfast or post-workout snack!
What fruits can you add?
You will love how so many fruits can work in an acai berry bowl. Acai bowl ingredients can include:
- Berries like strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Check out this easy strawberry smoothie bowl recipe!
- Fruits like the fresh pear I use in this Pear Smoothie Bowl recipe.
- Shredded coconut
- Nuts like pecans and walnuts
- Seeds like chia and sunflower
- Peanut butter, because...who doesn't love peanut butter?
This Vitamix is one of my favorite kitchen appliances of all time. I use it to make soup, ice cream, sorbet, smoothies, cream sauces, and more. It is quick and powerful. Clean up is also really easy!
Instructions:
To make the best acai bowls, I like to add frozen acai puree, a ripe banana, and Greek yogurt into a blender with a little almond milk. (Feel free to add your favorite protein powder if you like.) Top your berry bowl with shredded coconut, chia seeds, sliced bananas, and sweet blueberries. I like to drizzle peanut butter on top too :-).
Add frozen bananas to a blender.
Add frozen Acai and creamy yogurt to the blender.
Pour in your favorite milk. I used almond milk for this recipe.
Blend the smoothie until well blended.
Pour the acai mixture into a bowl.
Add shredded coconut and fresh blueberries to the acai bowl.
