Açai bowl, a flavorful breakfast or snack. It only requires 3 or 4 ingredients and is ready in about 5 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite toppings.
Açai bowl is one of the most delicious healthy breakfasts I’ve ever tried. It was a huge trend a few years ago, but it’s still really popular and a great choice, especially when it’s hot outside.
The recipe is extremely simple. You just need 3 or 4 ingredients: frozen unsweetened açai berry puree, frozen bananas, milk of your choice (unsweetened almond milk works great) and dates (they’re optional, though).
You just need to blend all the ingredients until smooth, serve in a bowl and enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings. That’s all!
Although dates are optional, I think the açai bowl tastes amazing when I add dates, but it’s up to you. Any other sweetener is okay, so please use what you have on hand.
Feel free to add other ingredients like fruits (like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple or mango) or superfoods (it’s delicious with some maca powder), spices (like cinnamon powder), or whatever you want.
There are also so many toppings you can add to your açai bowl: nuts, seeds, dried fruit, any nut or butter, shredded coconut, chopped dark chocolate, cacao nibs, superfoods, all kinds of fruits, etc.
A popular topping is rawnola or granola, and it will make you feel satiated for longer, so it’s an epic win. However, I like to keep things simple, that’s why I prefer to add other things.
It’s also super convenient to eat on the go, just keep it in a jar and enjoy wherever you go. Eating healthy can be delicious and also super easy!
açai bowl ingredients
These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this açai bowl recipe:
- Frozen unsweetened açai berry puree – If you can’t find it, use açai powder or even some blueberries or any berries you have on hand instead (frozen or fresh).
- Bananas – It’s important to use frozen bananas to get a thick and creamy consistency.
- Milk of your choice – Any type of milk is okay, but almond milk is my favorite one. I prefer to use unsweetened milk and add dates.
- Medjool dates – This ingredient is optional, but I think this recipe tastes better with dates. If you can’t find Medjool dates, use Deglet Nour dates (4 instead of 2) or any other type of dates you can find.
