Acai Bowl

Why Acai?

In California there is this restaurant called Banzai Bowls and that is where I had my first Acai bowl. Acai bowls were popularized in the local Hawaiian culture because it is packed with nutrients. Acai berries are full of vitamin A, B, D, and E; protein, fiber, magnesium all the while being natural energy boosters.

What is in it?

Acai – 1 Pack of Sambazon frozen Acai puree
- Acai berries are native to central and south America, although obtaining fresh berries are not economically and environmentally friendly. I like to use Sambazon puree packets. The company makes its products with organic and fair trade ingredients. They also put in an effort to help and support the protection and rehabilitation of the biodiversity nature of the Amazon. You can purchase this at almost any grocery store ie. Target, Costco, Whole foods, ect.
Milk– 4 oz of Califa Unsweetened Oat Milk
- I prefer not to have dairy in my diet so I love almond milk but understandably almonds are not the best for the environment. I suggest checking out Califa they have a bunch of different types of plant based milk and their oat milk has an amazing texture and taste, also it is gluten free.
2 Cups of fruit
- I like to change the fruit I am putting in my smoothie depending on the day and what I need in my body. At the beginning of the week I will prep fruit to be frozen, this way I wont need to put ice in the mix. My go-tos are strawberries and mango. Mangoes are rich in antioxidants and have iron which I always need. 1 cup of fruit should be frozen.
1 Banana
- There are a ton of health benefits to eating bananas so we love them. Also they just taste so good!

Additional Add-Ins

Ginger Root
Chia Seeds
Maca Powder
Almonds/nuts
Granola/Oats
Raw Organic Honey/ Agave Nectar

Now Let’s Make It!

Enjoy and start your day off great!
