Acai Bowl

Have you ever made your own Acai bowl?

My daughter and I love this little treat, we had our first whilst holidaying in Hawaii and decided to give it a try at home.

The acai berry is very nutrient-dense and packed with antioxidants, with 3 x more antioxidants in its pulp than blueberries. Antioxidants have many beneficial actions in the body by neutralising the damaging effect of free radicals which can counteract inflammation and oxidation. These little berries contain 19 amino acids, several plant sterols and phytochemicals. It has the potential to improve cognitive function and heart health. Who wouldn’t want to give it a try!!

This bowl is super easy to make at home. We bought frozen Acai berry pulp from our local supermarket with no yucky added extras.

“Acai bowls are one of the most instagrammed foods due to their intense colour and beautiful toppings. ”
