We take an original acai bowl recipe and crank up the antioxidants. According to the free-radical theory of aging, antioxidants like all the berry varieties in this recipe, will slow oxidisation and free radical damage. That means aging is slowed, particularly degenerative diseases.

PEANUT BUTTER ACAI BOWL

Put all the ingredients in a stick blender. 2. Blend for 30 seconds, pushing ice and banana around until texture is creamy 3.

Our most popular breakfast item. It can’t be described as ‘light’ but the naughty chocolate and peanut butter flavours do have a nutritional purpose. As we discuss on on our website, protein promotes metabolism, less snacking and weight loss. Frozen Acai vs Freeze Dried Powder We prefer the powder. The frozen packs cost more, take up more room in your freezer and some of the frozen packs contain extra ingredients. Buy your antioxidant superfood on its own, in powder form. Equipment Required Any blender can get you started on smoothies. However, you’ll need a stick blender for acai bowls. We recommend the Optimum machines over the Vitamix.
