What is an Açaí Bowl?

In case you’re unfamiliar with açaí bowls, they’re basically a super thick smoothie made with the superfruit, açaí berryAçaí berries come from Brazil and are full of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamin K and fiber.

Açaí bowls are thick smoothie bowls made with frozen açaí berries, any other fruit you desire (banana is a popular addition), and some form of liquid – typically a non-dairy milk like coconut milk or almond milk and/or juice, such as apple juice or orange juice.

Some people add adaptogens like ashwagandha, cordecepts, astralagus, maca, and/or turmeric to boost the health benefits even further.

A typical açaí bowl is served with a variety of toppings, like granola, nuts, fresh fruit, etc. You get to choose your own adventure here! Try out my Paleo Granola for an amazing topping!

In summary: we like them because they’re super nutritious and also super delish for your head trap.

Where Do I Get Açaí Berries?

Thankfully, the food industry makes sourcing açaí berries very easy. A few companies make pureed acai pouches, which you can simply open and add to your blender along with any other ingredients you fancy. You can find these at most natural food stores, including Whole Foods. You can also buy them online!

I love the rich chocolate-berry-banana-cinnamon flavor in this bowl. It’s so creamy and tastes decadent but is just so healthful and packed with nutrients. This recipe makes two açaí bowls, but you can easily double the recipe to serve more people. Or halve it in order to just feed your yourself.

Questions and Reviews

  1. I usually only make açaí berry smoothies or chocolate/butter smoothie, but this one got me interested because it combines all! Personally, I can’t tell much difference with the added chocolate, but still delicious nonetheless with the added benefit of more nutrients, warranting more recognition then just comments about insomnia!

    1. @Justin, thank you for writing the first helpful post that made me want to make this! I kept scrolling trying to find a comment about how this taste, and all I saw was insomnia until yours came up.
