Acai Bowl Recipe

It should be no surprise that I love all things smoothies. Smoothies, smoothie bowls, anything smoothie-related. That said, until recently, I’d never actually made an “acai bowl.”

One thing I’d always disliked about acai bowls is that so many of them are packed with added sugars. That’s why I was excited to find that Trader Joe’s frozen acai puree packets have ZERO added sugar! It’s just pure acai! That, of course, motivated me to make my first bowl. And let me tell you, that was not the last one I’ll be making… I may be the last person so jump on the acai food trend, but better late than never! Check out the recipe below.
