    Açai bowls have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years – and for good reason! They are refreshing, nutritious, and perfect for these upcoming summer months. You can whip up this recipe in just five minutes. There’s no need to visit a pricey açai café when you can make an even better açai bowl right at home!

    This berry açai bowl recipe is:

    • Vegan
    • Gluten-free
    • Packed with antioxidants
    • Naturally sweetened with whole fruit

    How to Make an Acai Bowl

    Making an açai bowl at home is very simple. I’ll break it down in three easy steps…

    1. First, get your hands on some açai. You can either use an açai powder or frozen açai packets. Which one is better? The frozen açai packets, most definitely! In my opinion, they are far more delicious than the powder.
    2. Next, choose 1-3 sweet fruits to blend along with the açai. For this berry açai bowl recipe, I chose to use bananas, blueberries, and raspberries.
    3. Finally, combine all of the ingredients in a blender. Then, add your favorite toppings and enjoy it with a spoon!

    Kaylie’s Tips:

    • Use frozen fruit! As mentioned above, I prefer to use frozen açai packets for my homemade açai bowls. I also recommend using frozen bananas and berries because it creates a thick, creamy consistency.
    • There is no such thing as too many toppings. For this berry açai bowl recipe, I added coconut flakes and a variety of fresh fruit on top. Some other great toppings include granola, nut butter, and seeds.

        Hey, Camille! That’s a fruit called “dragon fruit” or “pitaya” 🙂 It goes by both names, and you can buy a white variety or a pink/red variety.

      Any recommendations to substitute the banana. I love bananas, I just dont like them in recipes (i know wierd right). I really want to mke these bowls but most of them call for bananas to make them thick and creamy. Just not sure what a good substitute would be, thanks!

        Hey, A! Yes, frozen mango is a great substitute for frozen bananas in smoothie bowls. However, I promise you can hardly ever taste the banana flavor in smoothie bowl recipes that contain another fruit. For example, this berry acai bowl is not “banana flavored” 🙂 Instead, it tastes like berries and acai! Frozen banana just acts as a plain base to achieve a super thick and creamy consistency. I highly recommend leaving the bananas in it!
