Acai Berry Bowls: Easy and Healthy Breakfast Idea

These Acai Berry Bowls are a delicious and nutritious treat. Packed with fresh flavor, they are a great snack or breakfast idea.

Hello, Kenarry Friends! What’s the weather like in your corner of the world? Over here at Harbour Breeze Home, it’s hot!

Today’s recipe is perfect for hot days. However, it’s also so yummy and full of nutrition that it’s great for any time of the year.

These Acai Berry Bowls are a delicious and nutritious treat. Packed with fresh flavor, they are a great snack or breakfast idea.

Acai Berry Bowls were introduced to me and my husband during our recent Summer vacation to Montana. My sister took us to a cute food truck that served them, and I was hooked at first bite!

I’ve since done some research and discovered that acai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) berries are found in Central and South America. Research shows that they are richer in antioxidants than cranberries, blueberries, and strawberries.

Currently, they can only be purchased in frozen puree or powder form. Thus, the Acai Berry Bowl – built with an acai berry smoothie as its base – is a wildly popular way to introduce it to our diets.

Ingredients Needed:

a white bowl filled with frozen blueberries beside another bowl with bananas and a packet of frozen acai berry pulp to make açaí berry bowls
  • Frozen, unsweeted acai berry pulp (found in the frozen foods section of a health food store or Trader Joes).
  • Frozen berries (I used blueberries)
  • Frozen banana
  • Ice water
  • Toppings such as granola, banana, mango, and strawberries

Kitchen Tools and Supplies: 

  • Blender
  • Soup bowls

The Method

Place the frozen berries, frozen banana, and acai berry pulp in a blender and slowly add the ice water – pulsing it in short bursts.

Add just enough water so that the mixture is smooth but very thick.

Top with your favorite toppings in a “striped” pattern.

This is the fun part! You can get creative and use the fresh fruit you have on hand. Granola makes a nice crunchy addition, too.

I used strawberries, mango, and bananas along with the granola for the toppings for these bowls. I also threw on a few extra frozen blueberries for a tangy crunch, too.

This recipe made 2 cups of smoothie mix. I portioned it into 4 small snack-sized bowls. If you’d like to eat this as a breakfast or meal option, however, just use larger bowls to accommodate more toppings.
