Easy Acai

I became an acai bowl addict after a few back to back layovers in LA. My new healthy habit is a little too expensive to keep up with nearly every day so I took it upon myself to figure out a way to make equally tasty bowls at home. If you are able to make a smoothie, then you can totally make this fun, delicious breakfast or snack.

For the base I use a frozen acai berry pack (found in the freezer section in Target. Can that store get any better?) I thaw out the berry, blend with a frozen banana and a tablespoon of almond butter.

Ingredients for the base in my nutribullet.

It is as simple as that. Then just add your choice of toppings. I like granola and toasted coconut chips.

The acai berry bowl is a great breakfast option because it is very low in sugar, high in fiber and antioxidants. Acai extract is said to boost energy levels and fight exhaustion. Pair that with a good cup of coffee and your day is off to a great start!
