Acai smoothie bowl for breakfast

We all know that antioxidants keep us healthy and we should aim to eat as much of them as possible. You know that, right? Here I show you a mega-yummy breakfast bowl containing the superfood acai berry, which has record amount of antioxidants (twice as much as blueberries) in it. To make this acai smoothie bowl even healthier, I added other ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and healthy fats too. It is a really energizing breakfast that will make you glow 😉

So what is this acai berry? It comes from Brasil, it contains a good amount of vitamin A and C, a lot of fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, zink, magnesium and omega 6 – 9 fatty acids. It is, as most of the berries, a very low calorie fruit. You can sometimes find it frozen in health food shops but much easier to get hold of it in juice or powder form. In this recipe I used a powder. Most of the powders are produced by lyophilization (freeze drying), this way the useful ingredients are preserved.

It is well known that banana makes our smoothies nice and creamy. It is also rich in fiber (no more problem in the loo) and contains tryptophan, which turns into serotonin, our happy hormone, in the body! Do we need more? Ok, maybe some healthy fats would be nice too. That we get from the walnuts and flaxseed. As a bonus, they also make the smoothie creamy and they contain protein as well.

As we know from the equation of healthy eating, leave greens are the healthiest foods in the world. In the form of spinach we have some of them in this smoothies as well. You will not taste it, I promise!

Acai smoothie bowl

Ingredients for 1 person

1 banana

1 cup frozen berries

1 Tbsp acai berry powder

2 handful spinach

1 Tbsp ground flaxseed

2 Tbsp walnut

¼ cup water

Blend the ingredients with a blender or hand held mixer and pour the smoothie into a breakfast bowl. Decorate the top of it with seeds and dried fruits. In this case I used walnuts, coconut chips, goji berries and chopped dried figs. It is sooo yummy. Go and try it, your body will thank you!  🙂
