How To Make Wild Blueberry Acai Protein Smoothie Bowl: Step-by-Step Instructions
Here is how to make this recipe and I'll show you with step-by-step instructions below.

Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions for Wild Blueberry Acai Protein Smoothie Bowl
Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Wild Blueberries. Frozen wild blueberries combined with the frozen acai packs will give you a thick smoothie bowl texture. In addition, using wild blueberries will give you the best nutritional benefits and are a recommended healing food of the Medical Medium protocol. However, you can use regular organic cultivated blueberries too.
Frozen Acai Berry Packets. I really like using the Sambazon frozen smoothie packs because they have 0 grams of sugar and are a good source of healthy omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fats. You can find them in the frozen food section at Whole Foods but if you don't have access to Whole Foods, you could also try using organic acai powder to get the benefits of the acai berry.
Homemade Almond Milk. Using homemade almond milk is my milk of preference but you can always use your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is to use Joi Organic Almond Milk made with 100% organic almonds.
Protein Powder. My favorite plant-based protein powder is Epic Organic Plant Protein - Vanilla Lucuma. However, you can omit the protein powder in this recipe, substitute with organic hemp protein or organic pumpkin seed protein or use your favorite brand.
Toppings. I like to use fresh organic bananas, strawberries, blackberries, and organic hemp seeds to add on top of my smoothie bowl, but feel free to use your favorite fruit or berries or whatever you have on hand.

I've seen pictures of acai bowls but I've never made one before. This looks delicious!
Karielyn says
Hi there Jess! thank you! They are really easy to make too and it's really nice to slow down, sit down and enjoy a smoothie instead of on-the-go which is what I usually do. Hope you give them try 😉
