What is an Açaí Smoothie bowl?

If you’ve never tried a smoothie bowl, it is a bowl of icy, refreshing, sweet (but still tastes healthy), crunchy amazingness. In other words, it’s a thick smoothie that you top with more fruit, seeds, nuts, granola, or honey/agave. You can make the smoothie base in many different ways. The addition of açaí (ah-sigh-ee) in this particular recipe gives an antioxidant boost! It’s not quite life changing, but there have been noted benefits you can read more about here if you’d like.

Smoothie bowl sadness.. the price!

These sound pretty simple, but if you think about the price of a typical smoothie then add in special ingredients plus toppings, it’s easy to understand where the price increase comes in. A typical restaurant will usually charge around $10 for a bowl. I actually spent $13 on one recently and it wasn’t nearly as good as this recipe! I try to be frugal so this bothered me for days, but I was curious how one would taste that wasn’t made by me. It was not worth it, but the little bit of time put into this recipe definitely is! If you are like me and need a smoothie bowl in your life, but can’t get down with the price- check out this recipe and crave no more!

  • 1/2 cup Frozen Blueberries $6.97 for 48oz, ~$0.35 for 1/2 cup
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Strawberries $6.98 for 64oz, ~$0.27 for 1/2 cup
  • 1/2-1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk $3.82 for96oz, ~$0.16 for 1/2 cup

Toppings

  • 1/2 Fresh Banana, sliced ~$0.23 each, ~$0.12 for 1/2
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Homemade Granola See notes for an awesome and easy recipe!
  • 1 tbsp Honey $6.33 for 16oz, ~$0.29 for 1 tbsp

Instructions
 

  • Throw all smoothie ingredients in blender/food processor and blend until smooth!
  • Transfer into bowl (or a coconut shell to do nothing other than look fancy).
  • Pour on granola, add banana slices, drizzle honey.
  • Enjoy while deciding what to do with the $7 you saved! 😉

Notes

  • Depending on how frozen your fruit is, you may need more milk. I start with 1/2 cup and add 1/4 cup more at a time as needed. You want a thick consistency to keep it a smoothie bowl!
  • Homemade Granola this is my fav quick and delish homemade granola!

      I hope you loved it! One of my sisters used to work at a local place and they had the best smoothie bowls. I lived in a different state so I had her tell me how to make them at home. They’re my favorite!

    I’m all about healthy eating with real food ingredients and your smoothie bowls look delicious! I’ve never purchase Acai puree so I’ll have to look into that.

      It’s a tad pricey up front, but at 1/2 a pack per bowl it does last a good while!

      Yes! Especially expensive to buy out. Love making these at home to enjoy as often as I want for a fraction of the cost!

    You are so right: smoothie bowls are delicious, but they can be ridiculously expensive if you order them out. They are so worth the time to make at home though.

Sometimes life is your toddler thinking your shirt Sometimes life is your toddler thinking your shirt is a napkin, a messy bun hiding a rat’s nest, old makeup left on your face, and a cute jacket thrown on just to make you feel slightly better about yourself after laying your toddler back down 5-10 times trying to make nap time happen... but only sometimes🤗 Still have been struggling with feeling I don’t have anything to write that anyone would get anything from, working on overcoming that lie.. Theyre easy to believe sometimes.. but only sometimes😉 #momlife #newseasons #changeiscoming #tryingtokeepittogether #messybun #walkingnapkin
Anyone else ever get stuck?... Stuck thinking you Anyone else ever get stuck?... Stuck thinking you have nothing to offer. Stuck feeling like you’ll never be successful. Just stuck in self-doubt... that’s been me the past 3 weeks. I’m learning that the awesome part of going through things like this is acquiring the tools to help others get out of similar slumps one day... hopefully that one day is soon. #realtalk #selfdoubt
You don’t have to get an apology to extend forgi You don’t have to get an apology to extend forgiveness. You don’t have to speak to someone from your past to extend forgiveness. You don’t have to become best friends to extend forgiveness. To refuse someone of forgiveness, you insist on carrying an unnecessary weight that causes division. The longer you hold it, the heavier it gets. Let it go and be kind.🤍

Oh ya! Link in bio for more on that😂
My face when I feel a cold coming on, but I have Z My face when I feel a cold coming on, but I have Zicam® Cold Remedy Elderberry Medicated Fruit Drops.😄 Not ta-day!!😎
Other cold medicines usually only cover up symptoms. @zicam® actually shortens colds when taken at the first sign of symptoms- that’s clinically proven.😉 I’m all about some elderberry syrup, but sometimes I catch myself racing out to go pick up my son from school. Thankfully, you can just pop one of these bad boys on your way out! (sssssswipe for proof lol!) If you know me, you know I have my medicine cabinet stocked with homeopathic remedies like this one! So happy Zicam® has a product with the natural power of elderberry and complete with the natural elderberry flavor you can’t go wrong. I mean it’s at all major retailers (even Amazon!), it’s safe and effective, shortens your cold, and you don’t have to measure out syrup.. just pop a drop!! & at a great price, there’s no reason not to give these a try! ANDDDDD you can get $2 more off of a Zicam® Cold Remedy product when you use the link in my bio!!! •
