Getting new kitchen gadgets is always so fun! I got this Nutri Ninja Personal Blender for Christmas and I just love it! It’s much more powerful than my previous Ninja and I love the control options. I’ve already made a bunch of smoothies with it and now this acai bowl. It even has a setting to bend and extract vegetables like carrots. I am going to have to up my smoothie game soon!
Let’s chat a bit about this recipe and what the heck acai is. Acai is a berry from Brazil and is loaded with tons of nutrients. They are packed full of antioxidants and trace minerals. The acai berry has also been known to boost your immune system, lower cholesterol, boost energy, help with heart health and even has some cancer fighting agents. Long story short, acai berries are pretty powerful! You can purchase frozen acai like I use in this recipe or you can purchase acai powder. I haven’t used the powder yet, but after reading some reviews I need to buy it ASAP!
Even though it is winter, I am still all about smoothies and smoothie bowls. Call me crazy, but I can eat them all year round because they are that good! Are you team smoothie bowl all year round? You should be because I have a bunch of recipes on the blog that are just to die for and now this Kiwi Banana Acai Bowl to add to the mix.
I of course ate this the second I was done with it and it held me over for hours. I’m usually eating every 2.5-3 hours, but this bowl of acai goodness held me over for a food 4-5 hours. This was perfect to have after the killer workout I did earlier in the day. There nothing like eating something that tastes like dessert and getting in a ton of dense nutrients!
