What Is Açaí?

Acai berries (pronouced a·sai) are small fruits with a dark purple color growing on the acai palm tree in South America. While acai is not easy to buy fresh, many grocery stores sell frozen acai puree packets, perfect for smoothies and smoothie bowls. Acai is one of the superfruits we should add more often to our day for many reasons. First, acai is packed with a high amount of antioxidants. It contains four times more antioxidant properties than blueberries. It means that acai is extremely powerful at protecting against cell damage. Next, it’s packed with vitamins, and studies show that it lowers bad cholesterol. Finally, acai helps regulate blood sugar levels and is low in natural sugar and carbs. Therefore, it’s a great fruit to incorporate into your day, even on a low-carb diet or if you have diabetes.

All you need to make this easy acai smoothie bowl recipe are:

Acai Puree – I buy frozen packets from the grocery store. Frozen Mango – You can use fresh mango as well, but the season is often quite short. Frozen Banana – Pick the fruit you enjoy the most. Acai is low in sugar and slightly bitter, so blending it with a sweeter fruit boost, its sweet flavor naturally. Frozen Blueberries – Because it’s available all year round! Coconut Milk or any non dairy milk you love, including almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk.

Coconut-Free – Replace the coconut milk with oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Banana-Free – You can swap the banana for more frozen mango or use the low-carb option below. Low-Carb – Acai and blueberries are low-carb fruits. However, mango and bananas are high in sugar. To cut down the sugar, swap these two fruits for frozen zucchini slices and frozen cauliflower.
