Açaí berries are an incredible source of antioxidants and there are more ways to consume açaí powder than just adding it to a smoothie to make an Açaí Bowl – although if you haven’t tried my recipe for that I highly recommend it (obviously!)
Why not try adding açaí to your overnight oats? This recipe makes an ideal breakfast that balances nutritious superfoods with sweetness and satisfaction for the tastebuds! The chia seeds provide essential Omega 3 healthy fats, while the oats provide both soluble and insoluble fibre. The almond butter is rich in protein and vitamin E and the banana is a fantastic source of potassium!
