Summer Acai Bowl

It has been a hot summer! I wanted to make something to cool me off and discovered the amazing acai bowl. It is seriously the best way to start your day. I am excited to share this recipe! It is super simple to make but very delicious and filling, the best part of any acai bowl is that you can be as creative as you want to be with the ingredients.

Soooo…what have you guys been up to?  How has your summer been? I hope it has involved lots of grilling and traveling. But summer is moving way too fast, I feel like it has just started but now it’s August!! Seriously though, I love summer because of the nice weather but especially because of ALL the amazing produce that is available during the summer. This is a great way to incorporate a lot of that produce into one meal! Annnddd…it is also a nice way to cool off during a heat wave…have I told you how hot its been?!?!

Ok, let’s talk about this recipe. I love making these acai bowls in the morning, the best part about these bowls is the toppings. You can get really creative with the toppings, you can use bee pollen, goji berries, etc. I recommend experimenting with a variety of toppings, the options are endless. Check out the recipe below and enjoy!
