Best acai bowl recipes with granola

In recent years, acai bowls have become popular for health food junkies. From high-end grocery stores to the breakfast nook table, acai granola bowls are known for their creamy texture, vibrant color, and nutrient dense deliciousness. Today we’re going to share some of our favorite acai bowl recipes with granola to kick your healthy lifestyle into overdrive.

What is an acai bowl made of?

One of the appeals of the acai bowl is its versatility. You can get creative by adding whatever you like to it. From fruits and nuts to your favorite granola, the sky’s the limit for what toppings you want to include in your next bowl. Typically, an acai bowl base is made with a blended mix of acai berries, fruits and topped with chia seeds, granola, and other toppings. When in doubt add fresh ingredients and top your bowl with items that are in season. If you can’t find acai berries, opt for a pure unsweetened acai berry packet to build your base.
