Tips for making Acai Bowls:

The topping possibilities are endless, my kids love to make their own acai creations for a fun snack.
How do you say acai? Depending on where you are from there are a few different ways of saying it. For the easiest and simplest way would be to elongate the sound of the letter “a” to come out as “aa.” According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, you should pronounce açaí as “AH-sigh-EE.”
Serving acai: It is best to serve the acai bowls right away once they are topped with your favorite toppings.
Can you freeze acai bowls? Yes, these do well frozen. If you are planning to make these acai bowls ahead of time, simply make and blend your acai bowls and place in small freezer containers. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature until it can be stirred and ready to eat.
Healthy options: To make this a bit lighter and healthier substitute non dairy yogurt, agave or syrup instead of honey and choose dark chocolate over milk.
Varieties of fruit: Substitute or add in a variety of fruits to your bowl. Peaches, pears, pineapple, avocado or apples.
Toppings: The toppings possibilities are endless. There are so many varieties and choices to enjoy over top of your acai bowl to make these complete.
How do you thicken an acai bowl? It is best to have your acai bowl thick and not watery. This will help keep your fruit afloat as well as a thicker, richer and more savory meal. The less liquid, the better. If you need to thicken it as you go, simply add in more frozen fruit to your mixture. The fruit will thicken up quickly.
