Acai bowl

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) bowl is becoming very popular and can be homemade by blending it all together. Yes, it is really that easy.

It is really very effective on high powder blender. If using low voltage power, I would suggest chopping all the berries and bananas into a few chunks, but this would help if only you are buying and storing in the freezer.

How to freeze fruits:

For strawberries chop them into few chunks and spread them in a parchment paper or cling wrap in a baking tray as a single layer. After an hour transfer in a freezer-safe bags, for bananas slice them into 1-inch chunks, and arrange in a single layer, after an hour transfer to freezer-safe bags. This helps to have fruits not sticking together. For blueberries, raspberries, and blackberry it can be frozen as such or break them into half.

Benefits of the Ingredients used:

Berries: They are loaded with antioxidants and high in fiber along with many minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium and provide with many nutrients.
Banana: High in fiber and instant source of energy.
Acai: Contains vitamins and minerals and known for anti-aging vitamins.
Almond milk: Intake of almond milk helps to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Helps for skin and hair improvement.

Variations:

• It can be prepared with any combination of two berries or mixed like raspberries, blueberry, blackberry, and strawberries.
• Any type of milk can be used or you can avoid them by adding any fruit juice which goes well with berries.
• you can top your bowl by any fresh fruits, granola, coconut flakes, or chia seeds.

It is a healthier choice but will not help in weight loss, the fruits we use here has lot of sugar content and totally depends on the choice you add for the topping.
