Berry Bowl Bliss
Hey Lykkers! Looking for a breakfast that’s not only delicious but also super good for you? Let me introduce you to the Acai Bowl — a colorful, refreshing, and nutrient-packed way to kickstart your day. It’s basically a thick smoothie bowl made from acai berries, loaded with fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and granola.
Think of it as the perfect combo of a smoothie and a fruit salad, all in one bowl!
What’s an Acai Bowl?
An Acai Bowl starts with frozen acai puree blended with frozen bananas and berries, creating a thick, creamy base.
Then you top it off with your favorite goodies like sliced banana, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, fresh berries, and maybe a drizzle of honey or agave syrup. The best part? You can customize it any way you like, making it your own signature bowl.
How To Make It
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 100g frozen acai puree (unsweetened)
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- ½ cup almond milk (or any milk you prefer)
- Toppings: sliced banana, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, fresh berries, honey or agave syrup
Step 1: Blend the acai puree, frozen banana, frozen berries, and almond milk until smooth and thick — the texture should be thicker than a regular smoothie. Add less milk if needed.
Step 2: Pour the creamy mixture into a bowl and decorate with your chosen toppings.
Step 3: Dig in immediately and enjoy!
