How to make an Acai Bowl

AƧaƭ Bowl
AƧaĆ­ is a deep purple berry from Brazil which is absolutely loaded with antioxidants. AƧaĆ­ bowls are one of those things that make me envy those living inĀ Australia orĀ California – they seem to have hundreds of cute beachy cafes selling aƧaĆ­ bowls served with all sorts of tropical toppings from coconut shavings to fresh kiwi. Whilst it is becoming more and more available in cafĆ©s here in London, the price tends to be pretty extortionate.

The best solution is to make your own aƧaĆ­ bowl at home. For this super simple, mouth-watering recipe, you can use frozen aƧaĆ­ pulp, or for a more easily available option, I recommend aƧaĆ­ powder which you can order online or buy in a health store. You also have the option to add in a scoop of vanilla protein powder, as much for the nutritional value as for that sweet flavour – my absolute favourite is MyVegan as you’ll know if you follow me on Instagram @elibrechernutrition!

When it comes to toppings, I love adding any fresh fruit I have at home, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, a dollop of Raspberry Chia Jam and a handful of Eli’s Granola.
