Recipe: Açai Smoothie Bowl

If you're into exotic superfoods, look no further than Açai. This purplish-red berry, indigenous to  Central and South America, is full of healthy antioxidants and nutrients. However, eaten in pure berry form, açai can be incredibly bitter (almost like raw cranberries), and doesn't have a very long shelf life after being harvested. Fortunately, powdered and frozen açai is making its way to grocery and health stores alike.

The leader in açai products so far is undoubtedly Sambazon, a company that offers a number of açai products like pre-made smoothies, energy drinks, frozen smoothie packs, and even sorbet!!

I picked up a bag of Sambazon's Original Superfruit Packs at Whole Foods, inspired by all the beautiful açai bowls I've been seeing on Instagram. This was the result:

Açai Smoothie Bowl:

1 Sambazon Superfruit Pack
1 Tbsp Whole Foods Green Protein Powder
1/4 cup Strawberries
1/4 cup Pineapple
1 cup green juice (or any juice you like!)
Topped with fresh blueberries, chia seeds, and fresh orange slices

The great thing about açai is that is goes with virtually all fruits! This smoothie bowl can be customized in countless ways. Enjoy! :)
