Acai Bowl Recipe

I make acai bowls at least 4x a week. I have an obsession– it’s an issue. Thankfully, acai berries are full of antioxidants, which make it a great breakfast or snack. As much as I love a store-bought, ready-made acai bowl, they can be super pricey, might not taste the way you like, & packed with some unhealthy toppings like sugary granola. Homemade acai bowls + Paleonola to the rescue!

Backstory:

• What is acai, you ask? It is a berry & considered a fruit.
• What is an acai bowl, you ask? It is a thick smoothie that you eat with a spoon, it usually comes with all sorts of toppings and mix-ins, & will likely cost you an arm and a leg.
• What is Paleonola, you ask? My OBSESSION! It is not your average granola that I order off Amazon in bulk. Traditional granola’s are filled with 90% oats & made with ingredients like canola oil, cane sugar, soy lecithin that diminish our intention of trying to eat healthy. But Paleonola is grainless granola packed with a delicious nuts and seeds combo and blended with a generous portion of unsweetened coconut and berries. (Not gonna lie… I got some of that off their website because my version would have just been “It’s a granola that is so yummy!” but I wanted to give yall the real low-down)

Recipe for acai bowl:

• 1 Sambazon Acai Packet
• 1 cup of Trader Joe’s Organic Tropical Fruit Blend
• 1/4 cup of almond milk (or more for lighter texture)
• 1 tbsp of almond butter (takes away the tartness of the fruit)

Just blend in a high-power blender & add your toppings!

My favorites  toppings are…

• Paleonola
• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Bananas
• Flax seed
• Almond butter
