Made with a frozen acai packet, greek yogurt and a scoop of your favorite protein powder, these high-protein acai bowls are refreshing, beautifully colorful and taste delicious.

I like a really thick smoothie bowl so don’t add any liquid but if you’re finding your blender won’t do the job, feel free to add any non-dairy milk. I love to add colorful fruits like kiwi, mango, fresh blueberries, etc and something with a little crunch, like my homemade granola, chia seeds or hemp hearts.
