What Makes a Perfect Acai Bowl?

• Obviously Acai Fruit Powder has to be your hero ingredient with it’s sweet berry flavor coming through, as well as it’s rich purple colour. The challenge with Acai powder however is that it’s a very expensive raw material to work with. To manage cost we typically make Acai 20% of the blend and then top up this berry component with a (cheaper) blended berry mixture so that berry flavour is predominant and the colour is a rich purple.
• Add a chewy and or crunchy textural component.
• Include ingredients with plenty of natural sweetness.

How to Make an Acai Bowl

1. Simply add 1 Scoop of Acai Bowl Pre-Mix to a blender with half a cup of your choice of milk (or coconut water) and a handful of frozen berries or half a frozen banana.  Blend until thick and creamy.
2. Pour mixture into a bowl or short / wide rimmed glass.
3. Layer with muesli or granola.
4. Top with sliced banana, berries.
5. Drizzle with honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar (optional).
