It’s spring, line up your frozen fruit, bowls, and toppings –smoothie bowl season is here.
Acai Bowls have gained popularity by not only being delicious and pretty to look at but by being good for you.
We’ve yet to see those freeze packs of acai berries here, but what we do have is acai berry powder which works just as well. Acai Berry is a Brazilian Berry which is high in antioxidants and low in sugar.
If you use adaptogens, we’ll occasionally add a teaspoon of Ashwagandha to this smoothie for an extra boost of energy but that’s completely optional and not in the ingredients listed below.
When it comes to toppings you can go as minimal or extreme as you want. Fruit, hemp seeds, nuts, shredded coconut and nut butter are favourites. And when there’s some homemade granola lying around that’ll go in too!
