My little sister makes the most beautiful acai bowls.
She loves to make these delicious and healthy bowls for breakfast, then send me a photo of what she created.
It’s such a tease, really.
Thankfully, she finally sent me one of her favorite recipe creations.
Here it is!
Have you tried acai before? We love getting the frozen acai packets and adding them to smoothies and smoothie bowls.
What I love about acai is that it contains so many health benefits it is actually considered a “superfood.”
This berry, which tastes kind of like a blueberry I would say…originated from the Amazon river basin of South America and is full of antioxidants, adding up to more than most fruits.
Oh, and it contains resveratrol (also found in red wine) which is a phytonutrient that is considered to be anti-aging.
Not convinced to start buying the berry yet?
Well, acai also aids in preventing cancer, arthritis, inflammation (a component of aging), heart and neurological diseases, oxidative stress, and obesity.
I’m berry obsessed! Okay, I’ll stop being cheesy haha.
Mix one up for breakfast tomorrow (or dessert) and let me know what you think!

Just found you via insta! Your recipes look amazing and I’m definitely going to be a frequent visitor 🙂 I eat an acai bowl almost every day, but I use the Kiva acai powder from Amazon. Where do you get the dozen acai?
