DIY Acaii Bowl

Leave a comment

If there is one thing I miss about being in California in the summer, it is the amazing fresh Acaii bowls you can get at the beach with the most flavorful fruits! I like to make them at home because I can add some protein and greens to the bowl to balance it out.

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet Acaii (frozen)
  • 1 large handful spinach
  • 1 cup Greek Plain Yogurt (I used Ellenos)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen berries (or fruit of choice)
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Butter
  • 1 Scoop Collagen Protein, unflavored
  • As needed: almond milk

Toppings:

  • Granola (homemade, or I like the grain-free granola from Costco)
  • Strawberries or blueberries (whatever is seasonal)
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp Chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds
  • 1 Dash of cinnamon
  • Optional: Peanut butter/almond butter

Serves: 2 (ish)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup short grain brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 avocado, sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch kale, de-stemmed and chopped
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2-4 eggs (depending on if you want 1 or 2 eggs)

Ingredients for Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, diced
  • ½ lemon squeezed
  • Dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Rinse the brown rice and add to pot and stir around to lightly toast the rice. Add 2 cups broth, bring to boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.

Meanwhile in a non-stick pan over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp oil and garlic. Cook garlic for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add chopped kale and stir until kale is crispy, about 2-4 minutes. Drizzle with honey salt and pepper and sauté for another minute or so. Remove from heat and set aside.

Dressing:

Mix yogurt, tahini, basil, lemon, salt and pepper until combined. Add water if too thick.

In a small frying pan over medium heat, fry 2 eggs to liking.

Assemble bowls with rice, edamame, kale, dressing, avocado, egg.
