For the past few years, my most favorite treat would be acai bowls. Acai is a Brazilian berry that comes either in a juice or a frozen concentrate. It is very organic, and these products are always made with 100% acai berries. The way I like it the most would be in “bowl form.” This means that the acai product is blended with ice, soymilk or apple juice, bananas, and a variety of other berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries. So, it turns out to be sort of like a smoothie, but much thicker. Obviously, it is then put into a bowl topped with granola, bananas and other fruit, and honey. As you can sort of tell, there are many different variations of this special treat.
Another way to enjoy this treat would be in smoothie form. It is basically the same ingredients as the bowl, but there is usually more fruits included and it isn’t as thick as the bowl.
So where can you get this? Basically almost every smoothie shop, or dessert shop, or food spot will be serving this. Everyone has their own favorites and supports the store that makes it. My favorite is when the acai bowl is pretty plain. I like the acai blended with apple juice and just strawberries and bananas, topped with granola, honey, and bananas.
Back on Oahu, Hawaii, these are my favorite places to get acai products and their approximate prices:
Blue Hawaii Lifestyles: $8
