Acai: Tell me more about it!

Store fronts are popping up everywhere selling Acai bowls. The frozen section of the supermarket shelves even have them. But what is Acai?

Açaí comes from Brazil. It is the fruit of the açaí palm tree. It has granular texture and a tart and creamy taste. Acai bowls are often made by adding granola, fruit and sometime even Nutella to create a mouth watering meal. Acai berries have been know to improve digestion, brain health, and even your complexion. 

The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating an acai bowl. Below is an example of one of my favorite recipes just to get you started 

Ingredients

• 1 cup acai berry sorbet
• 2 tablespoons granola, or as desired
• 4 strawberries, sliced 
• 1 banana, sliced

• 1 teaspoon honey, or as desired
  
  Place acai sorbet into a bowl and top with a layer of granola. Line strawberry and banana slices over granola. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and drizzle with honey.
