Pomegranate Sunflower Açaí Bowl
Oct 02, 2016
I love starting my morning with a nutrient dense smoothie bowl or açaí bowl. They leave me feeling good about my body and incredibly energized (plus if I eat something unhealthy later in the day I don't feel as bad). The main difference between the two is that the latter is made with açai, a tasty superfood full of antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. I recommend buying the frozen Sambazon açaí packs, which you can purchase in health food stores or online. These are incredibly versatile. To sweeten, add honey, maple syrup, or pitted dates. Add a few ice cubes or chopped up frozen banana to make it even more like a frozen dessert. Then top with whatever your heart desires!!
