I first heard about acai bowls when pro surfer Rob Machado talked them up as his healthy breakfast that he'd discovered while on tour in Brazil. Not that I often listen to surfers for nutritional advice but I sought out acai and started making smoothies and acai bowls on a regular basis and go reinspired to make them after my recent trip to Belem. It's hard to go wrong with them but this combo of fruit, sweet, and crunch is one of my favorites.

Run smoothie packs under water to thaw slightly then combine in a blender or food processor with milk, banana, and blueberries and process until just smooth. Divide mixture among two bowls then top with coconut, cacao nibs, chia seeds, and fruit, as desired.
We like the Sambazon Acai Smoothie packets for making acai bowls.
