Since returning from Brazil I’ve become obsessed with acai bowls (pronounced ‘ahsyee’). The acai is a berry grown in South America aka as a superfood and full of antioxidants!
In Brazil I’d buy a bowl of acai for £2 but in London most places charge approximately £7 so I decided to learn how to make my own…
Some benefits of acai are as follows;
- aids weight loss
- helps digestion
- has anti-aging effects
- improves mental function
- promotes heart health
They’re real easy to make and perfect as part of a Sunday brunch or even dessert.
Ingredients
Acai berry frozen purée (sold in all health shops)
2 bananas
Fresh berries
Goji berries
Chia seeds
Coconut flakes
Honey
Method
1. Mix the banana and acai pulp together in a blender
2. Pour into bowl
3. Decorate with the banana, berries, chia seeds and coconut flakes
4. Drizzle with honey
