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.
GiphyAsk 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.
GiphyAll 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.
GiphyThe 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.
GiphyThey 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.
GiphyYou 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.
GiphyMy 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.
GiphyThe 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.
GiphyThe 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.
GiphySkip 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!
