Save the trip to a specialty shop and make your own big bowl of antioxidant-rich acai goodness. This colorful, low-fat bowl is as refreshing as it is satisfying and is ideal for breakfast or snacking. Cauliflower, blended with plant-based milk, provides a fiber-rich base. Frozen acai, banana, and dark cherries deliver a fruity flavor that’s naturally sweet. Keep a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer, and you can make this on a whim. Top with sliced fresh banana, halved cherries, and toasted hemp seeds, and serve with a wedge of lime. Additional topping ideas include fresh berries, cacao nibs, coconut shavings, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped nuts. Get creative—this acai smoothie bowl is yours to tweak!
Tips
Toasted hemp seeds: To toast hemp seeds, place seeds in a dry skillet. Cook over medium 5 minutes or until darkened and aromatic, shaking often. Remove from skillet and let cool.
