A couple weekends ago I was in California for a quick trip celebrating a friend’s birthday. I’d heard about açaí bowls before but never tried one. After eating 3 in 3 days at Banzai Bowls I developed a slight obsession with them. Fresh, fruity, healthy, filling, and açaí berries supposedly have more antioxidants than any other food… what’s not to love? As soon as I got home I started looking up copy cat recipes for the homemade Banzai Bowl Maui Sunrise - and found one I loved from Layers of Happiness here & adapted it slightly. Love homemade banzai bowls! I also found açaí juice at our local Costco. Thank you Costco & Sambazon.
Homemade Acai Bowls:
- 1 1/2 c. acai juice (or 1 acai smoothie pack + 1 c. almond milk)
- 1 banana
- 2 c. frozen strawberries
- 1/2 c. coconut milk
Toppings:
- Granola
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Sliced bananas
- Berries of any kind
- Drizzle of honey
Blend together the top ingredients. The mixture will be thick. If you’d like it colder you can add a handful of ice. Pour into a bowl and top with desired toppings. I’ve also tried blending in blueberries, pineapple, and other fruits I’ve had on hand. Tastes amazing really no matter what fruit you put in.
Enjoy!
