Breakfast!

Over this Memorial Day weekend, my best friend and I went to San Diego to get away from all the stress at home. It was there (at Zanzibar Cafe) that I had my first, long-awaited acai bowl. To my surprise, the acai was a frozen slush on the bottom! I, now, know this is typical since acai comes in frozen "smoothie" packs. Anyway, it was delicious. They topped it with homemade granola, bananas, and sliced strawberries. Of course, this inspired me to make my own.
I went to the new Sprouts yesterday, which I had to see after my grandma and grandpa telling me how organized and affordable it is. I got some frozen acai packs by Amazon Planet, fortified with ginko and ginseng for energy. NOMz.

Acai Bowl

1 acai pack, thawed

handful of chopped walnuts

1 tsp chia seeds or flaxseed meal

sliced banana

berries (I used raspberry)

1 tsp bee pollen

Also, try adding smoothie packs with banana, coconut, and greek yogurt for protein in a blender for a morning smoothie. 

[Did you know...? Acai is known for it's antioxidants and ability to provide energy. Try it instead of a cup of coffee in the morning.]
