Açaí Bowl

Açaí Bowl

This is one of my favorite foods to make because it is so easy, so quick, so good, and so aesthetic. This time, I wanted to make the smoothie look even cuter so I used half a bright and beautifully orange cantaloupe as my bowl.

For the smoothie:

(makes about two servings)

• 1 frozen banana (it helps to cut the banana into smaller pieces to be blended well)

• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (optional)

• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries/blackberries (optional--for thicker consistency)

• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 1 tablespoon açaí powder

• add ice for thicker consistency

Toppings:

• fruits: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana, dragon fruit, coconut, etc.

• nuts: walnuts, sliced almonds, etc.

• seeds: flax, chia, hemp

• extra: goji berries, bee pollen

To make it:

1. I suggest preparing the toppings first: cut up the fruits, get out all the ingredients. etc. --- this way, the smoothie won't lose it's thick consistency if you were to prepare the toppings at the end

2. For the smoothie, blend all the ingredients until you have a nice, deep purple thick smoothie.

3. Pour into a cute bowl --- or be even fancier and use half a cantaloupe, coconut, pineapple, or watermelon (I've seen all used and they really do make great presentations)

4. Place all the toppings and take a picture!!!

5. Then finally eat and enjoy all the natural fruity goodness

^^Okay so the fourth step really isn't necessary but açaí bowls can really make an instagram feed 10x fancier ;)

Anyway, I hope you try this recipe out and like it!! Check out my youtube channel for all the steps in a fancy little video of me in action in the kitchen!!
