5-MIN ACAI SMOOTHIE BOWL 🥣🍓🍌

Did you know acai fruits are actually consumed savoury in certain parts of Brazil? Contrary to the sweet dessert we all know of! It’s harvested from acai palm trees, which are native to the rainforests of South America. It has been a diet staple for centuries (yes, it’s not just a trendy ingredient 😭) in the northern region of Brazil.

The health benefits of acai are also insane! Acai berries are rich in fatty acids, especially oleic, palmitic & linoleic acids. They contain 19 amino acids and phytochemicals, including many anthocyanins and proabthocyanidins.

These anti-oxidant rich little ones protect against various diseases and contribute to overall better health! (Source: MedicalNewsToday)

So here’s a really simple acai smoothie recipe that tastes amazing!

Ingredients

1 pack of frozen acai

1 cup frozen bananas

2 tsp flax seeds

1 tbsp oats

1/4 cup plant milk (add more to reach desired consistency)

Directions: Blend all ingredients together and pour in a bowl. Top with your favourite toppings like granola and fruits but I kept mine simple with some cacao nibs. Enjoy!
