Protein Packed Acai Bowl [Paleo and Gluten free options]
This beautiful arrangement is packed with Protein, Fiber, Vitamin C and more. The Acai berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful super foods in the world. Acai provides a remarkable concentration of antioxidants, fiber and healthy fats that can make you feel and look as fabulous as the bowl itself! Here is how I made my acai bowl:
Blend Together and Place in a Bowl
- 1 Banana
- 1/4 cup Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Almond Butter
- 2 teaspoons raw Cacoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 2 scoops Hydrolyzed Collagen
- 2 tablespoons of Acai Powder
I included Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen for an extra boost of Protein- 10 grams per serving! Collagen is also beneficial to the health of hair, skin, nails and can help you feel full longer. The coconut oil is a healthy fat that can aid in weight loss and promote healthy digestion. Banana, almond butter/milk and cacoa powder are tastes I enjoy very much together. By my recipe you may be able to tell I am focusing on losing ten pounds and ten years, but then again at my age who isn’t?
Top With Pretty Yummy Stuff
- Organic Fresh Fruits
- Organic Cashews, Chia and Sunflower Seeds
- Granola (or Paleo Granola)
Organic Fresh fruits are a great source of natural fiber and Vitamin C. Organic Nuts and Seeds add Protein and Healthy Fats. Granola is filling and a good source of Fiber.
What is perfect about an Acai Bowl is that it is a quick, nutritious meal or snack recipe that you can be creative with and adjust to your preferences and nutritional needs.
Enjoy!
