    This Superfoods Acai Bowl is so delicious you won't believe how healthy it is!  Make it extra special by loading it up with toppings.  {gluten free, paleo, whole30}

    super food Acai bowl with toppings and spoon

    Have you tried a smoothie bowl yet?  If not, it's time to give this Superfoods Acai Bowl a whirl.

    Don't be mistaken: it is different from a smoothie you drink with a straw.  It is thicker, more like ice cream, so the toppings stay on the surface without sinking. 

    You can easily achieve this by adding more frozen fruit and less liquid.  It's nice to have a bit of crunch on top or sweetness from some fresh fruit.  It's a whole different experience from a smoothie.  Trust me on this one.

    This is one of my favorite combos for a smoothie bowl.  The sweet blueberries and raspberries hide the taste of the spinach and the frozen blueberries help to thicken it.  

    What is Acai?

    Acai (pronounced  ah-sah-ee) is a berry that comes from the acai palm tree.  It is similar in nutrition to a blueberry, containing fiber, heart-healthy fats, and more antioxidants than other berries.  

    To learn more about the health benefits of acai berries visit The Mayo Clinic.

    How To Make an Acai Bowl

    Making an acai bowl is so easy my kids do it regularly.  All you do is add the ingredients into the blender and mix. Since this is going into a bowl and eaten with a spoon, you want a thicker consistency.  We like spinach, frozen berries, banana, acai powder and almond or coconut milk.  It's so easy!

    What Toppings Can I Put on an Acai Bowl?

    • pistachios
    • walnuts
    • cocoa powder
    • cinnamon
    • kiwi
    • pumpkin seeds
    • oatmeal / granola
    • chia seeds
    • raisins
    • almond butter
    • peanut butter
    • sunflower butter
    • pumpkin puree
    • cocoa nibs
    • dates
    • cashews
    • figs
    • flax seeds
    • chocolate chips (did I just say that?)
    • shaved or chopped chocolate
    • hazelnuts
    • macadamia nuts
    • sunflower seeds
    • pumpkin seeds
    • figs
    • frozen berries or cherries
    • banana
    • mango
    • persimmon
    • apples
