🥣 Açai bowls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Açai berry bowls are a bit of a craze at the moment, and it’s easy to see why. It’s like having dessert for breakfast, and not feeling bad about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Açai berry bowls can be whipped up in ten minutes and are bes enjoyed on a hot day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🍓What are açai berries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Açai berries<\/strong> are a deep blue-purple fruit from the Açai palm tree, native to Central and South America. The fruit pulp is freeze dried and sold as a powder. They are antioxidant superstars, and help fight free radical damage, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Açai berries are low GI, providing a nice, slow release of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also contain some omega-3 essential fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🌴What is an açai bowl made of?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Açai bowls<\/strong> are from açai palm berry powder or frozen puree, often blended with apple juice and frozen bananas, topped with a range of ingredients such as fresh fruits, granola<\/a>, nuts, seeds, and other superfoods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool and creamy and brimming with goodness, they are lick-the-bowl-worthy, promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the awesome thing about this açai berry bowl recipe, is that it actually doesn’t live or die by the actual addition of açai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, they are jam-packed full of antioxidants (a tablespoon of the freeze dried powder is equivalent to over 200 fresh blueberries), but they are also freakin’ expensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's fun to experiment and try new things, but if you need a healthy breakfast idea, then the same recipe minus the açai is equally as yum and still very nutritious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you do though, do not scrimp on the frozen banana, that’s what gives it the ice-creaminess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
