how to make Acai Bowl
Ingredients:
- 7 oz. frozen açaà puree
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

- 1/2 cup milk
- Protein powder, if desired (I like collagen as it doesn’t add much flavor or texture!)
- Sliced fruit
- Fresh berries
- Drizzle of honey
- Granola
- Peanut butter
Directions:
- In a blender, add the açaà packet, frozen banana, blueberries, strawberries, and milk.
