I don't know what the weather looks like where you're from, but here in Oklahoma, things have been crazy lately. Weather here is really only characterized by one consistent trait: absolute chaos.
Or at least it feels that way.
Lately we've been in this pattern of 70 degree days at the beginning of the week, followed by a literal snow storm at the end of the week. No joke, I was running around in shorts on Tuesday, and I had to scrape ice of my windshield to leave my house today.
Anyways, the warm weather we've been having and then not having has been teasing me, and all I want is to sit in the sunshine and eat an acai bowl.
If you've never tried one before, you need to run to your nearest spot (many coffee shops or smoothie bars sell them!), and try one of these bad boys.
Fortunately, I had the goods to make one of these for myself the other day, and I wanted to share my "recipe" with my Hive friends.
You will need:
- a frozen acai pack like the one pictured below (check out the specialty grocery stores near you)
- some frozen fruit (my favorites are mango + blueberries)
- your favorite milk (my go-to's are whole or oat)
- toppings (I like fresh fruit, granola, nut butter, honey, and chocolate)
- optional: yogurt, protein powder, juice
Just like any smoothie, these are very customizable. Check out combinations from popular Acai bowl places like this one and make it your own!
Here's my blurry attempt at pouring it into the bowl one-handed.
Now here's the most fun part- the toppings. Have fun with how you place them, and definitely snap a picture of your creation when you're done!
Here she is!
So, SO good. I will be at the grocery store snagging all types of fruit for my next ones as soon as these roads thaw out.
