fresh fruit – make sure your kiwi and blueberries are fresh as can be, otherwise it will alter the flavor of the bowl.

cashew milk – I use cashew milk For this Acai smoothie bowl recipe, but you can use any plant-based milk you have on hand.

slivered almonds – if you don’t have almonds you can use other nuts.

chia seeds – despite their size, chia seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet and are loaded with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and various other micro-nutrients so I would not omit them from this recipe.

Benefits of Acai

Acai berries come from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America. Studies suggest that the acai berry pulp is even richer in antioxidants that cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. Read more about the health benefits of acai.

Expert Tips

• Best when served immediately after preparation. However, if you must store, do so without toppings and only in refrigerator on an overnight basis.
• For a brighter, richer colored smoothie, try adding dragon fruit puree to blender at the same time as acai mix.
• High speed blenders work best with this recipe. If you don’t have one, just use a regular blender and increase blending time.
• Any plant-based milk works in this recipe, for instance almond milk, oat milk or soy milk.
• For a thicker smoothie, like with this Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie, try adding ice to the recipe, as long as you’ll be eating/serving right away.
