Gluten-Free Vegan Classic Acai Bowl
Here is the official Classic Acai Bowl recipe, which if you've never tried it, is really like a smoothie in a bowl!
As many times as I've bought the Sambazon Acai Smoothie packs...I've always just made smoothies with them, with my favorite being my Acai Berry and Banana Immunity Smoothie.
Oh, and I made some really good Acai Berry and Banana Mini Cheesecakes too!
But this is the first time I've actually had a smoothie in a bowl, and I really liked it.
It's very simple to make, and you make it in a Vitamix, just like a regular smoothie.
But the next step is the fun part...choosing which toppings to use...the varieties are endless!
Today, I wanted to share the Classic Acai Bowl, but I already have lots of other ideas I'll be sharing later like this Blueberry Acai Protein Smoothie Bowl!
