Thea's Antioxidant Acai Bowl

I have been obsessed with acai since it got popular a few years back. Jamba juice had made it a huge hut with my friends! When we hear things are good for us we all jump on the bandwagon right? Well, recently I went in to my favorite coffee shop Kean Coffee and I saw (picture this in slow motion) the barista handing over a large cup of purple heaven with sliced bananas flowing over the top. I wanted one so bad and totally got upset that I forgot about acai bowls! I asked if they made theirs with any added sugar and they said they thought so. I decided hmmm well this is perfect, something else for me to make!!!
Although time has gone by, I walked in to sprouts and saw acai and my eyes lit up! I looked at the ingredients and found one that is Unsweetened and frozen in a packet!
I bought it and made a delicious recipe, let's hope it hits the spot for you like It did for me. I'm going to try some other recipes with acai soon!
