What is an Acai Bowl?

An acai bowl is a simple recipe. It is a type of smoothie bowl with all of the ingredients of a smoothie in a bowl form that you can eat with a spoon.

What Does Acai Taste Like?

Acai has a sweet, yet subtly tart flavor. Some say it tastes like a cross between a grape and a cranberry.

Are Acai Bowls healthy?

Açaí berries are among the most nutritious fruits on the planet. They’re an excellent source of antioxidants, fiber and healthy fats. Acai berries are also a good source of vitamins A, C, E and B-complex. This makes the acai smoothie bowls a delicious choice when you need a healthy breakfast or lunch.

If you have a larger family or just want your acai to go further, you can add in other fruits and add ins to make to make it just as filling for less money.

Can it be Made Ahead?

Acai bowls are best when they are made right when you are going to eat them. However you can keep the smoothie in a glass bottle for up to 24 hours. I like to freeze the smoothie in an ice cube tray so that it can be made into smoothies again.

I also like to freeze the acai smoothie bowls into popsicles. The kids absolutely love acai popsicles.

Is Acai Smoothie Bowl Vegan?

It is easy to make this recipe vegan. This smoothie recipe is made with milk, but you can switch it to almond milk to make it vegan. It also uses a bit of honey for sweetness, but you can swap the honey for agave. This recipe will taste amazing as a vegan recipe.

I like to buy my acai powder online. I get a better deal than buying it from my local whole food store. You might be able to find the powder at the store or you can order from Thrive Market or Amazon.
