Acai Bowl
Moderate nutritional value
Frozen acai blended with banana, topped with granola and fresh fruit.
An acai bowl is frozen acai pulp blended with banana and a little juice into a thick, sorbet-like base, then topped with granola and fresh fruit; it comes from Brazil. A 440 g bowl has about 380 kcal and 12 g of fiber, but about 28 g of sugar from the fruit, juice and granola and only 6 g of protein. Choose unsweetened acai packs, as sweetened blends and a honey drizzle add a lot of sugar.
