I LOVE a good açaí bowl, but the price? Nah I'll just make it myself!
Which is my mantra 9/10 times
Açai is a powerhouse of antioxidants. Studies have shown that açaí has more antioxidants than blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries! So an Açai Bowl or Smoothie Bowl is such a fun way to get those amazing properties, especially first thing in the morning which is when I like to eat mine. And it tastes even better when breaking a fast.
Am-I right? I do love adding more nutrient dense ingredients to my smoothie bowls too.
~Cacao Nibs - Superfood, fiber, antioxidants and magnesium
~Hemp Hearts (shelled) - Protein and omegas
~Unsweetened Coconut Flakes - Healthy fat, and it just tastes darn good!
~ I love to do my grocery shopping at a few different stores. The majority of my shopping is done at Aldi. Their prices and quality are fantastic! And you can't not love the aisle of randomness. Need a new laundry basket? Barbie doll? Exercise bike? Any-who, I also go to Trader Joes and Wegmans, which is our local grocery store. And of course the random Target and Walmart run. So you will see a variety of different brands in my posts.
