What is an Acai Bowl?

Acai is the mashed fruit of the acai palm that comes from Brazil. The pulp makes a great base for smoothies and acai is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein. And that’s just the acai!

Acai bowls are low in sugar (depending on your choice of toppings and add-ins) and make for a great alternative to processed dairy desserts.

Acai berries also have a pretty unique nutritional profile for a fruit, they are low in sugar and higher in healthy fats. Which is why an acai bowl fills you up for much longer than a traditional smoothie bowl.

Ingredients & Variations

ACAI To get that deep purple color you can use frozen acai packets (above left in the image) or acai powder. You can find frozen Acai in almost any grocery store. It’s often with the frozen fruit or with the organic or healthier items.

For this recipe, we used one frozen acai packet which is approximately 2 tablespoons of acai powder.

LIQUID I use apple juice most often but any fruit juice or milk (even dairy free milk) is great. You may need to add more or less dairy based on your blender.

TOPPINGS Now for the fun part! You can top your Acai Bowl with almost anything. For fun family breakfst, build a DIY Acai Bowl Bar and put out small bowls of all of these incredible toppings!

Berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
Melon chunks: cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon
Nuts: walnuts, pecans, pistachios
Seeds: chia, hemp, flax, sunflower, pumpkin
