Notes
Make Ahead:
When you need a quick breakfast it is great to be able to grab a premade acai bowl from the freezer! Make a double batch of the acai smoothie and portion the servings into freezer safe bowls.
To thaw, remove the acai protein bowl from the freezer and thaw at room temperature on the counter. It will take about a few minutes so I usually do this as soon as I wake up in the morning and then in an hour I'm hungry and ready for breakfast. You may need to stir the bowl a few times which is why I prefer to add the toppings after it has thawed.
You can also microwave the bowl (make sure your bowl is microwave safe) in short 15 second burst so not to melt it completely.
Once your bowl has thawed add the delicious toppings and enjoy your protein packed acai bowl!
Nutritional Information:
This is calculated with one scoop of protein powder. If you want to make this a high protein blend add additional scoops. I found one scoop was perfect for me and did not alter the flavor of the acai. The toppings were not included in the nutritional information.
