What is an acai bowl?

So, what is an acai bowl? If you’ve never had one, it’s a smoothie bowl with the smoothie made from acai berries. The bowl is loaded with toppings like fruit, granola, coconut and almond butter. Where does acai come from? Acai berries actually grow on palm trees and are native to Brazil! Acai bowls are a popular dish in Brazil, and they’ve now become very popular here in the US as a healthy breakfast or snack. Acai berries are known as a superfood, and are loaded with antioxidants and lots of other nutrients. Many restaurants and food trucks in the US serve acai bowls, but they are very easy to make at home with our homemade acai bowl recipe.

How do I find acai?

Acai berries are native to Brazil. But due to the popularity of acai bowls, packs of frozen acai pulp are now widely available online or even in stores. We found acai pulp packs at a local grocery. Sambazon is a well-known brand that sells acai and has sustainable harvesting practices.

How do you make an acai bowl?

How to make this homemade acai bowl recipe? It’s very simple, with just one special ingredient and a few tricks! As mentioned above, packs of frozen acai pulp are becoming widely available in the US at mainstream grocery stores. When you use the acai pulp, thaw it under warm water until it’s easy to break into pieces, then remove from the plastic wrap. This way, it will be easier to blend into a smoothie.

For this homemade acai bowl recipe, it’s easiest to have a high speed blender to blend the smoothie. However, a standard blender works just as well! You just might need to stop and stir the blender a bit more. If desired you can also add just a little more water to the smoothie, but it’s best when it is thick and doesn’t have too much water added.

We’ve added a few of our favorite smoothie bowl tricks to this homemade acai bowl recipe. To minimize melting: freeze your bowl while you make the smoothie! Also, prepare your acai bowl toppings first. Since you’ll want to eat the homemade acai bowl right away after blending, it’s best to have all the toppings prepped and ready to go!

Description

Love acai bowls but don’t want to leave your house? This homemade acai bowl recipe is incredibly delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients

For the toppings

1 handful coconut flakes 1/2 mango, diced (or 1/2 cup frozen diced, thawed) 4 sliced strawberries 1 small handful blueberries 1 small handful pepitas Bee pollen, optional Other toppings: Granola, almonds, pecans, walnuts, almond butter, peanut butter, chia seeds, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup

For the acai bowl

1 cup frozen pineapple chunks 1 large banana 1/2 mango (or 1/2 cup frozen diced) 7 ounces frozen unsweetened acai pulp (such as Sambazon)* 1 tablespoon lime juice 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions

Place your bowls in the freezer: this will help to keep the acai from melting while enjoying it. (Optional, but it’s helpful!)

Prep the toppings (before making the bowl, again to minimize melting): In a small skillet, toast the coconut over low to medium low heat until golden brown, stirring often. Immediately remove to a bowl. Dice the mango and reserve half for the acai. Slice the strawberries.

In a large high speed or regular blender, blend the pineapple, banana and mango until somewhat combined and chunky.

Thaw the acai pulp under warm water until it can be broken into smaller chunks, then remove the packaging. Add the acai to the blender with the lime juice and 1/4 cup cold water. Blend until smooth, stopping and stirring as necessary. (If you need a bit more water you can add it; try not to add too much in order to keep the acai texture thick. A high speed blender will work well here; with a regular blender you’ll have to stop and stir more.)

Pour the acai mixture into the frozen bowls. Top with the fruit, coconut, pepitas, and other toppings. Serve immediately.

*We’ve found this acai pulp in the frozen section at several of our local grocery stores.
