Acai Allure
Acai bowls are the new smoothie, and their popularity is exploding. If you're not familiar with acai berries, they are the deep, purplish-black berries of the acai palm.

While you'll usually find these bowls at your local smoothie shop for $12-$20, they are extremely simple to make at home. This recipe uses simple, everyday, and healthy ingredients so you can enjoy this treat without the hefty price tag.
Acai bowls are a popular breakfast food in Brazil, and they've been gaining popularity in the United States in recent years. They're made with a base of acai berries, which are blended with other fruits, vegetables, and liquids to create a thick, smoothie-like bowl. Acai bowls are often topped with granola, nuts, seeds, and fruit. Acai berries are a good source of antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. They're also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. The other ingredients in this recipe are also packed with nutrients. Blueberries are a good source of antioxidants, and raspberries are a good source of vitamin C. Bananas are a good source of potassium, and almond milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D.
