How to make an Acai bowl?

I clearly remember the first time, I heard about this Acai bowl thingy two years ago.
And it was only 3 months ago when I actually learned how to pronounce it.  {a,sa’i}
Since then I have tried a lot of Acai bowl in all different variations and in different places. Some at restaurants, cafes or at home. It is such a simple way to get in a lot of vitamins and nutrients already for breakfast. Topped with fresh fruits and Rawnola, this is a bomb bowl filled with all the good things your body and mind is looking for.

I really, really like the version below with the refreshing taste from the lemon juice combined with the vanilla and fruit and banana flavor. It is so easy to make and it makes your taste buds go wohooo!

I usually stay away from such bold statements such as “ This is the BEST BOWL I’ve ever had.“
Buuuuuuut let me say this one was pretty close to perfect and literally gave me chills when I ate it!

The light lilac color originated from the added whipped cream I stirred into the Acai mixture.
Of course you can totally do it without the coconut whipped cream if you are aiming for a low fat alternative. You might want to double the amount of berries and bananas.

Easy Coconut-Acai Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 tsp acai powder
• 1 tsp lemon juice

• whipped coconut cream*

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except for the coconut whipped cream in a blender an blend until well combined.
2. Fold in the whipped coconut cream (as much as you like), decorate with fruits, rawnola, granola, seeds, chocolate or peanutbutter
3. * for the whipped coconut cream you simply whip up the hard part of a full-fat, canned coconut milk. Make sure that you place the can in the fridge during the night, so it allows the upper part to get hard. For the whipped cream you then simply need the hard part.
