If you haven’t hopped on the acai bowl train, you’re missing out. These wonderful, colorful bowls are bursting with flavor and nutrients! The best part? You can get super creative and top your acai bowls with whatever your heart desires. It only takes a few ingredients to create the base for this Blueberry Cacao Acai Bowl, then the sky is the limit!
Acai is a berry, native to Central and South America. This berry is known for its high amount of antioxidants, which is great for radiant skin and anti-aging.
The beauty of acai bowls is the different ingredients and toppings that you can use. The possibilities are really endless! I always use a base of almond milk, frozen acai packet, frozen banana, and coconut nectar. In this particular recipe, I also added cacao powder and hemp seeds.
My favorite crunchy topping to add is raw cacao nibs. These little guys are SO tasty and SO healthy. Organic raw cacao contains 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries and more calcium than cow’s milk! If that’s not a reason to add cacao into your life, then I don’t know what is.
