Best Acai Bowl Toppings
I like topping my bowl with so many yummy things…So here are some of my favorites for you to select from!
The Healthiness of Acai Bowls
Acai bowls aren’t low in calories, but they’re not unhealthy either! They have a lot of sugar from the fruit, like other smoothies. But when you add healthy fats in the mix-ins or toppings, it can be a balanced breakfast. Plus, you can boost the nutrients by adding healthy toppings.
Making Your Acai Bowl Vegan
To make your Acai Bowl vegan, just skip the cow milk and yogurt. Instead:-
- Use plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk, or even apple juice.
- Choose a plant-based yogurt, like soy or coconut yogurt.
- If you prefer, skip the yogurt altogether and add more plant-based milk or fruit juice.
- Check the ingredients of your granola, as some may contain honey. Look for ones sweetened with alternatives like maple syrup.
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Yes, you can, but using frozen fruit helps create a thicker and creamier texture. If you use fresh fruit, consider adding some ice cubes to achieve a similar consistency.
Can I substitute almond milk with regular milk?
You can use any type of milk you like, such as regular milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or any other non-dairy milk. Choose the one that suits your taste preferences and dietary needs.
