Açaí Bowl

Ingredients

• 2 frozen açaí packets (unsweetened)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• Toppings: granola, sliced banana, berries, coconut flakes, honey, chia seeds

Method

1. Blend açaí, banana, blueberries, and almond milk until very thick (thicker than a smoothie — use a tamper or stop and stir).

2. Pour into a bowl. Top with granola, fruit, coconut, honey, and chia seeds.

What You're Practicing

• The key is keeping it THICK — use minimal liquid.
• Eat with a spoon, not a straw. The toppings are the point.

Supplement add-ons (nutritional impact per serving):

• Whey protein (1 scoop, 30g): +120 cal, +25g protein, +2g carbs. Thickens the bowl base. Blend into the acai mixture before pouring — don't sprinkle on top or it clumps.
• Collagen peptides (15g): +54 cal, +13g protein. Dissolves completely with zero flavor or texture change. Supports joint cartilage and skin elasticity — studies show 10-15g daily improves skin hydration after 8 weeks.
• Spirulina (1 tsp, 3g): +9 cal, +2g protein, 44% DV iron, 28% DV B12. Turns the bowl deep blue-green. Earthy taste is masked by acai and berries.
• Maca powder (1 tsp, 5g): +20 cal, +1g protein, +4g carbs. Adds a malty, butterscotch-like flavor. Contains glucosinolates that may support hormonal balance — research is preliminary but promising.
