The Açaí Project

By Caitlin Garcia

Who would’ve thought an acai bowl could taste like s’mores?

The Açaí Project did, and their acai bowls are some of the most unique and tasty in San Luis Obispo. The Açaí Project is known for its hearty bowls topped with fresh fruits, granola, yogurt and honey. These handcrafted treats are worth every bite.

The Açaí Project menu offers wholesome food and drink options, including refreshing acai bowls, balanced smoothies and Whalebird Kombucha. The menu items are SLOinspired, with names such as Mustang Pride, 805 and Madonna. No matter what you order, you can guarantee it will be photo-worthy by the vibrant colors of fruits and nut butter covering the top of the bowl.

There is something available for any craving. Whether it’s fruity sweet or chocolatey rich, the nutritious ingredients help these bowls act as a post-hike brunch or mid-studying refreshment. Acai itself is packed with antioxidants, which can improve heart and cognitive health. Aside from the delicious taste, there are so many benefits to treating yourself to an acai bowl from The Açaí Project.

Conveniently located at 827 Foothill Blvd. in the University Square shopping center, The Acai Project is open daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Online ordering for an in-store pick-up is now available, so get your hands on a bowl next time you’re craving a sweet pick-me-up.
