Breakfast smoothie bowls like this delicious Raspberry Acai Smoothie Bowl are not only a healthy breakfast alternative, but they are just beautiful when topped with colorful fruit.
One of the reasons I love smoothie bowls so much is because you have to actually sit down to eat them, as opposed to a regular smoothie that I usually drink “on-the-go”.
I enjoy stopping and slowing down for a little break to enjoy a healthy breakfast before starting the day.
There are unlimited options for making smoothie bowls, just like with regular smoothies, but this one is pretty simple using homemade almond milk, raspberries, an acai berry smoothie pack and a couple of dates to sweeten it.
And, not only is it ready in just minutes, it’s also raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.
