acai

I did a bit of research last night on Pinterest for a more variety of healthy recipes that I could create in the kitchen. As I was scrolling down, a post about an Acai bowl came up and wow, did it look great! I see people posting on Instagram their made versions of an Acai bowl but I had never gotten around to it. So today as I was craving a smoothie I thought I would give it a try.

I looked at other recipes to get ideas for mine. One I looked at was a raspberry flavored bowl but added peanut butter in. I’m not sure about anyone else but I wasn’t so sure about putting peanut butter in a smoothie so I took that ingredient out.

For the base of the smoothie I used:
1 cup of cut strawberries1 cup of frozen blueberries and raspberries
1 banana
2 tablespoons of chia seeds (Chia seeds help to thicken the texture and smoothie making you feel fuller for longer!)
1/3 cup of milk (you can use any type of milk, coconut water or juice as an alternative)
2 tablespoons of greek yogurt
I blended that all together in a blender until all looked smooth. Once out I put it in a big bowl ready to decorate!

For the toppings I used:
A sprinkle of oats
1 chopped out banana
5 strawberries
and frozen blueberries and raspberries to fill in the gaps.

There you have it!
Trust me it tastes as good as it looks!
