What Is an Acai Bowl?

An Acai Bowl is a smoothie bowl made with acai berries, which are packed with antioxidants. Traditionally, it’s served as a frozen, thick smoothie base topped with fruits, nuts, and granola.

Cooking Tips

  • You can swap the coconut milk for almond milk or any other plant-based milk if preferred.
  • If you like a thicker consistency, add more acai powder or frozen banana slices to the mixture.
