Acai Protein Bowl
The acai berry, native to Brazil is rich in antioxidants and good source of essential amino acids and omega vitamins. Because they are easily perishable, many companies freeze-dry the berries and turn it into a powder. The powder works perfectly to create a nutritious, creamy bowl with a blend of other antioxidant-rich berries, banana, yogurt, and milk. Adding protein helps to make this a more balanced meal that can be a quick, on-the-go option.
Ingredients:
1 cup Frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc; use any combo)
½ medium Banana (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp Freeze-dried acai berry powder (click here for the brand I use)
1 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk (feel free to use any milk you have)
1 scoop Vanilla protein isolate (I use a whey isolate)
Optional: Cinnamon, nutmeg, granola, unsweetened coconut flakes, chia seed, slices of fruit)
Directions:
Throw all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth & creamy.
Pour into a bowl (or cup if on-the-go) and top with toppings of choice.
Enjoy!!
