33 Superpowered Acai Bowls & Drinks You Need to Try
Acai is one of those trendy foods everyone wants to get in on. The puree (most commonly used in recipes, along with the powder) is made from acai berries grown in the Amazon, and it’s very high in antioxidants. Many of these recipes are variations on the ever-popular acai bowl, but there are a few smoothie and other recipes included, too. All paleo-friendly. Enjoy!
1. Brazilian Acai Bowl
This acai bowl is a simple and authentic recipe made with frozen acai (just the pure pulp), bananas, water, homemade granola, and fresh berries such as blueberries and strawberries. You don’t have to use the included recipe for chocolate granola if you have another paleo favorite!

3. Acai Magic Shell
Do you remember having magic shell on your ice cream as a kid? I sure do. The magic ingredient is coconut oil, which is featured in this real food version of the topping, along with acai powder, raw cacao powder, maple syrup or raw honey, and a pinch of sea salt.

6. Superfruit Acao Mango Bowls
The best thing about this acai bowl is that with sweet mango and banana added to the acai, you don’t need to add any other sweeteners like dates or stevia. It’s naturally creamy and sweet with a bit of vanilla almond milk (or homemade almond milk would be best).
7. Beetroot, Cherry, and Acai Smoothie
Reddish purple fruits like cherry and acai make the perfect disguise for a bit of nutrient-packed, iron-rich beetroot in your smoothie.

8. Acai Berry Bowl
This bowl comes with two options. The first is perfect for breakfast, with a base of acai puree, ground flaxseed, and coconut milk. To make it a bit sweeter, add a few dates and you’ve got dessert. Either way, you can top with nuts, seeds, mango, honey, toasted coconut, and cacao nibs.
9. Cherry Berry Acai Bowl With Cashew Cream
It’s all about the toppings, right? This acai bowl is made with a base of tart cherries, frozen raspberries, bananas, acai puree, and coconut milk. Then, it’s topped with delicious homemade cashew cream and a honey chia granola (or a granola of your choice).
