Over time, acai bowls have shown they’re not just a passing trend but a lasting favorite. This superfood, pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’, was once mainly found in traditional Chinese medicine shops. Now, it’s the go-to snack for fitness enthusiasts post-workout. With fresh fruit and nut butter toppings, these bowls are tasty yet guilt-free treats. If you haven’t tried them yet, BusyKidd knows just the places that will make you believe in the acai craze.
What’s in an Acai Bowl?
An acai bowl is a tasty dish made by blending frozen acai berries with other fruits like bananas or berries, and a liquid such as coconut water or almond milk. This creates a thick, smooth base that is poured into a bowl. Then, it’s topped with a variety of ingredients like fresh fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or nut butter. People love acai bowls for their delicious flavor, colorful appearance, and nutritious ingredients, making them a popular choice for breakfast, a snack, or a post-workout treat!
