6 Acai Bowl Recipes We Absolutely Love (And So Will You)

Acai berries are some of the best berries you can eat.

They're a superfood, containing more antioxidants than any other commonly eaten berry. They do it all—improve cognitive function and heart health, contribute to cancer prevention, and protect against diseases. They're a high-fiber food that's also delicious, making the implementation of acai into your diet an easy and obvious choice.

You're here because you love acai berries, and you're looking for more ways to use them. Acai bowls are a classic way to add acai to your diet. Our team here at Acai Exotic live and breathe acai bowls. Our superfruit packs, acai powder and acai bowls make eating this superfruit super easy. Keep reading for some delicious acai bowl recipes that you can build right at home!

2. A Good Morning Bowl

This acai bowl recipe is the perfect wake-up call. It makes the perfect acai bowl base, giving you the freedom to top this acai bowl however you desire. It's fairly comparable to our almond butter acai bowl recipe, featuring the necessary ingredients to ensure you have your daily helping of antioxidants and healthy fats.

This recipe includes:

• 1 pack of Acai Exotic Acai Pure pack or acai powder

• Berries of your choice—strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or all three!

• 1 frozen banana

• 2 oz. liquid of your choice: almond milk, fruit juice, etc.

• ½ cup plain yogurt (optional) - for a creamier texture

• Any toppings you enjoy, such as crunchy granola, nuts or seeds, more berries, sliced fruit, etc.

For the perfect Good Morning Bowl base, you'll need a blender to puree your frozen ingredients into a smooth and thick mixture. To bring this bowl to the next level, add your toppings (we recommend fresh fruit and a sprinkle of coconut shavings) and enjoy right away so it doesn’t melt!

3. A Salty (And Surprising) Take on the Acai Bowl

Did you know that one of the original acai bowl recipes actually includes . . . drum roll . . . shrimp or fried fish? 

That's right—you can think outside the box when it comes to acai. Its sweetness is the perfect balance to more savory, salty options like this one. In fact, acai is commonly served in dishes with fried fish and cassava (a shrub similar to yuka).

Now, this traditional bowl's preparation varies by region, so we don't have a specific recipe for you. We recommend keeping this recipe on the savory side, forgoing any sugary tendencies as you build it. Consider adding frozen cauliflower to the acai puree to help thicken the base. Then, add your preferred seafood to the top—and don't forget to actually try it!

4. A Tropical Acai Bowl

This acai bowl recipe is on the tropical side, so keep that flavor profile in mind as you prepare this dish!

In a blender, puree frozen mango, banana, and pineapple. Add acai pulp, frozen puree, or powder and pulse it into the mixture. Add cold water—or a favorite fruit juice (preferably one of the base ingredients)—and some lime juice and blend.

As with other acai bowls, the options for toppings are limitless. To keep it tropical-friendly, consider topping with ingredients like coconut flakes, coconut granola, kiwi, banana, other tropical fruits, and/or chia seeds.
