If acai bowls aren’t trending right now, I don’t know WTH is.
Never heard of it? It’s basically a smoothie bowl but super-duper good for you. Acai is rich in anti-oxidants, boosts energy, contains fiber, and is heart-healthy.
SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS
+ 1 frozen unsweetened acai packet (I found these at my local Whole Foods)
+ 1/2 banana
+ 1 cup frozen mixed berries
+ 1/4 cup unsweetened almond/coconut milk
TOPPINGS
+ sliced kiwi
+ sliced banana
+ sliced strawberries
+ granola
+ unsweetened coconut chips
Makes for the perfect picture, right?!
I saved half of this for tomorow but you can definitely shamelessly eat the whole thing.
Now be careful not to go too crazy on your toppings or you’ll ruin the idea of keeping it skinni-mini. I’ve seen so many people claim to be on “diet” yet they make their smoothies with orange juice, 3 pounds of fruit, peanut butter, etc. etc. Ha…try again!
Yes, fruit is healthy but there ARE some general guidelines. Remember, fruit contains sugar. I try to steer clear of dried fruits & high-carb fruits, limit my intake to about a cup and a half a day, and always try to eat it before 4 or 5 pm.
What do you put in your acai bowl? Can’t wait to create my next!

These look so good! I would love to try this at home if I can ever hunt down those Acai packets :)

They’re so hard to find! Only place I know of around me is Whole Foods!
Eeeeeps, Love! There’s a place in LA that’s like the Chipotle of smoothies/ smoothie bowls. It’s so freaking cool. You HAVE to come here and try it!!!

Actually need to make a trip to west coast ASAP. I’ve heard of that place!
This looks stunning. I have to find frozen acai somewhere. I’ve never seen them.
Whole Foods is the only store near me … I know there’s a powder too which you might be able to find elsewhere :))
Sounds delish! I’m dying to try an acai bowl and this looks like the perfect one.
Always, Hunter
