1. Classic Acai Bowl
Acai is an antioxidant-loaded, grape-like berry from South America that has taken the U.S. health food market by storm. Acai bowls—smoothie bowls featuring acai—have also become extremely popular.
This smoothie bowl recipe from The Pig and Quill is a classic that includes, among other ingredients, acai, bananas, blueberries, sliced kiwi, granola, and coconut chips for toppings. Yum!

- 4 oz unsweetened almond milk

For the topping:
- sliced bananas

Instructions
