    If you have a strong affinity for smoothie bowls like I do, you’re going to love this healthy smoothie bowl topped with fresh fruit, nuts and seeds. In fact, vegan breakfast may never be the same!

    If smoothie bowls are not for you, why not try my Vegan Sweet Potato Muffins, my pecan-crusted Vegan French Toast or my Easy Vegan Overnight Oats? And if you love blueberries for breakfast, try my decadent Lemon Blueberry Loaf.

    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.

    Why This Recipe Works

    I think you’re going to love this recipe because it’s:

    • health and nutrient friendly – acai is an exotic fruit that’s widely known as a superfood. It’s clinically proven to benefit health as it’s loaded with antioxidants, good omegas, fiber, iron, calcium and a variety of vitamins. Acai is said to contribute to weight loss, healthy skin, cholesterol control, detoxification and general health. It’s also low in calories with just 70 per 3.53 ounce serving.
    • quick and easy – with just a few simple steps, it’s ready to devour in minutes.
    • dietary restriction friendly – vegan, gluten-free, low-fat, low calorie; you can’t get any better than that.
    • ingredient-friendly – calls for only 7 basic, everyday ingredients.
    • budget friendly – costs less than $5 to prepare.

    What You’ll Need

    Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

    acai packs – can easily be found at most local grocery or health food stores.

    frozen fruit – I use frozen papaya, pineapple and mango to make this delicious acai smoothie bowl, however, you can use any frozen fruit you desire. Adding frozen fruit to this smoothie bowl recipe eliminates the need for ice.

    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.

    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.

    How to Make This Recipe

    Step 1. To a high-speed blender, add cashew milk.

    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, try adding ice to the recipe, as long as you’ll be eating/serving right away.

    Acai Smoothie Bowl Recipe FAQ

    What if I don’t have a high speed blender?

    If you don’t have a high speed blender, you can try using a regular blender or hand mixer.

    What if I can’t find the acai packets?

    You can substitute with 2 tablespoons of acai powder per acai packet.

    How long can I store in the refrigerator?

    This acai smoothie bowl is best served immediately after preparation. Adding frozen fruit and/or ice can cause the mixture to become watery when stored in refrigerator.
