Acai Bowls

Today I made one of my favorite things, acai bowls. They are super yummy and healthy, so whats not to love?

If you don't know what acai is, it is a berry only grown in Brazil. It is considered a "super-food", and is super high in antioxidants.


Here is a picture from my instagram (follow me @darahelenas) of my yummy bowl this morning!

Recipe:
*1 frozen acai packet (I used Sambazon)
*1/4 to 1/2 cup apple juice
*1 banana
*Hanful of berries/fruit of your choice (I chose strawberries and blueberries just because that's what we had)
*2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
*1/2 to 3/4 cup your favorite granola
* Agave/honey to taste

1. Break up your acai and add it to the blender, along with enough apple juice to help it blend (the mixture should be thick).
2. Pour the smoothie into a bowl and add the granola on top.
3. Slice your banana and wash your berries, then place them on top of your granola.
4. Sprinkle the coconut on top and finish with a drizzle of your agave/honey. 
5. Devour your delicious bowl!
