I love Hawai’i, it’s one of my favourite places in the whole world. I love the breathtaking nature there, the amazing sunrises and sunsets. While there I discovered their açai bowls and I kind of became obsessed with them. I had a period in my life after my first visit to Hawai’i when I ate açai bowls every day.

The smoothie part of açai bowl is made with frozen açai, frozen banana, frozen berries and almond milk or coconut water from a young coconut (taste-wise I prefer almond milk over coconut water). You can add additional ingredients to this base like chia seeds or maca powder or baobab powder. For toppings I suggest those that I always chose in Hawai’i when they were available. I like my açai bowl topped with different berries, goji berries and almond butter. But peanut butter sounds good to me too.
