Acai Bowl Recipe

Acai bowls are essentially smoothie bowls (basically an extra thick smoothie you eat with a spoon), just using acai along with other frozen fruit! They’re usually served with additional toppings such as sliced fruit, nuts and/or seeds, granola, etc! Thanks to their high antioxidant content, acai berries have many potential health benefits. They’re loaded with powerful plant compounds that act as antioxidants and could have benefits for your brain, heart and overall health. They also deliver healthy fats and fiber, making them a generally healthy food.  A great start to the day!
