This means I make most all foods from scratch at home. I can&rsquo;t imagine ordering him an already-prepared acai bowl because of all the ingredients it would have. I would be terrified to give it to him.<\/p>\n<p>The acai berry is from a palm tree grown in Central America and South America. It is from a different type of palm tree than the one that makes him sick but I&rsquo;m not willing to take the chance.<\/p>\n<p>I love the idea of making acai bowls though. I make smoothies for myself and my kids weekly. An acai bowl is basically a thick smoothie in a bowl instead of a glass. You serve it with toppings such as granola, fruit, and nuts.<\/p>\n<p>So to change up our smoothie routine and to take what is the very popular acai bowl, I modify it to use more of the other berries instead. Use this recipe to make acai bowls with or without acai berries.<\/p>\n<p>To make an acai bowl, you need to buy bags of frozen acai puree. This superfruit is usually sold in larger grocery stores, in the freezer. Also, stores such as Costco, Target, etc. sell frozen acai berries as well. The frozen bag of will contain acai packets in a quantity that is right for bowls or smoothies.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I use what berries are on sale that I can easily find at the grocery store. I make my bowls with blackberries, blueberries, or a combination of whatever berries I have. Depending on the season and the price, I will buy them fresh to freeze or frozen. (More on this below.) Buying frozen organic berries is often cheaper than fresh organic.<\/p>\n<p>An acai bowl is a hodgepodge of lots of things so substituting acai with other berries is totally fine. It is also easier for me and also &mdash; most importantly &mdash; I know it will be safe for my son.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acai_Bowl\"><\/span>Acai Bowl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 \"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#Acai_Bowl\" title=\"Acai Bowl\">Acai Bowl<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#What_You_Need_to_Make_Acai_Bowl_Recipe\" title=\"What You Need to Make Acai Bowl Recipe\">What You Need to Make Acai Bowl Recipe<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#How_to_Make_Acai_Bowl\" title=\"How to Make Acai Bowl\">How to Make Acai Bowl<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#Tips\" title=\"Tips\">Tips<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#Vegan_Acai_Bowl\" title=\"Vegan Acai Bowl\">Vegan Acai Bowl<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#FAQs\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#Acai_Bowl_Recipe_with_Different_Berries\" title=\"Acai Bowl Recipe with Different Berries\">Acai Bowl Recipe with Different Berries<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/acai-bowl\/#Acai_Bowl-2\" title=\"Acai Bowl\">Acai Bowl<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>An acai bowl is a thick puree of acai berries topped with loads of fresh fruit and other delicious toppings. They are like really thick smoothies. You may see many trendy places serving them. Acai fruits taste a bit like blackberries with a touch of unsweetened cocoa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to make an acai bowl is easy and much more cost-effective than going to a specialty store to get one. I make an acai bowl copycat recipe with other berries.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever berries you use, these little bowls are powerhouses of nutrients like antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. You can customize them based on what you have at home. Top an acai bowl with some granola for a filling breakfast or have it with chunky fresh fruit for a cool, healthy lunch or snack. Toss in some chocolate chips and nuts for a delicious dessert. No matter what you add to it, you really can&rsquo;t go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Kids, teens, and adults will love them when you add toppings and mix-ins they enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Prep-to-eat time takes just 10 minutes. This is a great way to start your day or enjoy for lunch or as a healthy snack. It is also fairly easy to pack to take with for a filling meal on the go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Follow these step-by-step directions to make an acai bowl or a copycat bowl. Once you have these ingredients, you can make them often.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_to_Make_Acai_Bowl_Recipe\"><\/span>What You Need to Make Acai Bowl Recipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1 frozen banana, sliced<\/li>\n<li>&frac12; cup frozen blueberries<\/li>\n<li>&frac12; cup frozen strawberries<\/li>\n<li>&frac34; cup milk, almond milk, or juice (apple, grape, or blend)<\/li>\n<li>&frac12; cup plain Greek yogurt<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>2 packets of frozen acai puree &ndash; Can substitute 1 &frac12; cups frozen berry blend or blackberries, blueberries or strawberries<\/li>\n<li>Toppings of your choice: granola, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, berries, nuts, dried fruit, sliced banana, oats, coconut flakes, shaved dark chocolate, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, cherries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Makes 2 servings<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12271\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12271\" class=\"wp-image-12271 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-900x841.jpg\" alt=\"how to make acai bowl\" width=\"900\" height=\"841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-900x841.jpg 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-768x717.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-960x897.jpg 960w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-1080x1009.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-1200x1121.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437.jpg 1621w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12271\" class=\"wp-image-12271 size-large lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-900x841.jpg.webp\" alt=\"how to make acai bowl\" width=\"900\" height=\"841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-900x841.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-300x280.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-768x717.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-960x897.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-1080x1009.jpg.webp 1080w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437-1200x1121.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437.jpg.webp 1621w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harshil-gudka-sOdiO7rd_NM-unsplash-scaled-e1695831837437.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-12271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to make acai bowl ~ Image credit: Harshil Gudka, Unsplash<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Acai_Bowl\"><\/span>How to Make Acai Bowl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>In a food processor or high performance blender, combine the milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li>Add the frozen fruit a little at a time, along with the acai if using (break it up into pieces).<\/li>\n<li>Blend on a low setting until the mixture is smooth.

But it&rsquo;s important that it still remains thick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can make acai bowls year round because the recipe requires frozen and not fresh fruit. Frozen fruit is often less expensive per pound than fresh. This depends on the grocery store sales and the season of course, but overall, it is less expensive. Buying frozen berries is also a way to better afford organic fruit. Frozen organic berries are often the same price as buying fresh non-organic berries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is a very forgiving recipe, so make it your own based on what your tastes are and what you already have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8738\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8738\" class=\"wp-image-8738 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-900x527.jpg\" alt=\"acai bowl recipe\" width=\"900\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-900x527.jpg 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-1536x900.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-2048x1200.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8738\" class=\"wp-image-8738 size-large lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-900x527.jpg.webp\" alt=\"acai bowl recipe\" width=\"900\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-900x527.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-300x176.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-768x450.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-1536x900.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-2048x1200.jpg.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-taryn-elliott-4099235-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-8738\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Acai bowl recipe ~ Image credit: Taryn Elliott, Pexels<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vegan_Acai_Bowl\"><\/span>Vegan Acai Bowl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To make a vegan acai bowl, simply omit the dairy yogurt and substitute with a plant-based yogurt or additional juice or plant-based milk or nut milk.

When you buy them from a restaurant, they will contain healthy ingredients but a lot will depend on the toppings. Making your own also allows you to control the ingredients so you don&rsquo;t go overboard with the sugar and carbs.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is acai bowl so expensive?<\/h3>\n<p>Acai berries are expensive. You can buy frozen bags on sale to make them at home. These bowls are typically served at higher-end breakfast and brunch restaurants as well as from small shops serving made-to-order bowls and smoothies. They are a bit trendy.

Yum!<\/p>\n<p>I sort of do the same with oatmeal when I add in cinnamon, chocolate chips, walnuts and sliced banana. Toppings make the difference!
