10 Reasons To Love Acai Bowls
https://www.everypixel.com/search?q=smoothie%2Bbowls&stocks_type=free&image_id=17645567368306942059

There's no doubt that these tasty creations have filled all of our Instagram feeds for the past couple years. Call me basic all you want, but I LOVE acai bowls. Not just because my consuming them completes my white-girl aura, but for many other reasons!

1. They're delicious.

Ask anyone who's tried them; açaí bowls are simply yummy! Most of the time they are made to order, so you can make it however you'd like, catered to your personal food faves.

2. They're aesthetically pleasing.

Acai bowls are undeniably the most photogenic meal. Why do you think everyone posts pictures of them?

3. You can make them yourself.

Giphy

All of the basic ingredients for a complete açaí bowl can be found at your average grocery store. You can make them as elaborate or simple as you'd like; it's up to you!

4. They are affordable.

Giphy

The average cost of an açaí bowl is around $8-$10, which I know you would easily spend on an greasy, fatty, altogether unhealthy meal at Chipotle or Chick-fil-A. Make the healthy choice instead and get a bowl!

5. They make a perfect meal for any time of day.

Giphy

They may not look it, but these babies are filling! Although I prefer to enjoy them as breakfast, açaí bowls are great for any mealtime.

6. They can be topped with basically anything.

Giphy

You can add as many or as little amount of toppings as you'd like! Personally, I prefer my açaí bowls loaded with blueberries, banana, strawberries, granola, coconut flakes, and Nutella, but I have a friend who tops hers with only bananas and peanut butter. That's right, they're personal as can be!

7. They are a great date food.

Giphy

My idea of the perfect date is easily a day spent out on the beach, catchin' some rays and splashin' around, followed by a beeline with my honey to the nearest açaí bowl stand. Boys, your girl will love it!

8. They're healthy.

Giphy

The typical açaí bowl is filled with antioxidants, minerals, fiber, vitamins, protein, and healthy fats. Now that is a superfood!

9. The shops they are sold in are altogether adorable.

Giphy

The popular chain açaí bowl shops that I love the most are Playa Bowls and Vitality Bowls. Each place adds their own unique twist on smoothie bowls in general. I'd highly recommend checking them out!

10. They basically taste like ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Giphy

Skip the sugary, fattening dessert and choose an açaí bowl instead. Your tummy will thank you!

Although right now they are primarily prevalent in and around beachy, coastal towns, my hope is that they eventually branch out to the Midwest as well. Give these yummy, unique bowls a try!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
