Cue the music of Portugal the Man. When I eat healthily, I tend to eat very colorfully. A prime example of this is clear in the delicious, nutritious acai bowl (pronounced uh-sigh-E). I've noticed over the past year or two that these have become very trendy snack. Essentially acai bowls are smoothie bowls with a bunch of fruit, nuts, and other accoutrements on top. You can customize them however you want, but today I'm going to share with you how I like to serve it up.
//Adrienne's Acai Bowl
- 1 smoothie packet of Sambazon Acai
- 1/2 cup of frozen berries
- 1/2 cup of water
- 3 small strawberries
- A handful of blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon of ground flax seed
- 1/2 mango
- 1 fig for garnish
Blend up the acai, frozen berries, and water (or other liquid of your choice, such as OJ) until smooth or at a desired consistency. Carefully transfer the blend into a bowl, the juice is very purple and WILL stain. Cut up your fruits and arrange however you want. I added ground flax seed for additional nutrients (omega-3s) and fiber.
Now grab a spoon, head outside, and enjoy your chilly, trendy treat.
