Did you know that acai is a great source of both antioxidants and healthy fats? Did you also know that most storebought acai bowls are loaded with added sugar, making them closer to eating an ice cream for breakfast than a smoothie?

In comparison, this healthy acai bowl has no added sugar, and only contains whole foods. Yogurt provides protein, walnuts add additional healthy fats, and the banana provides carbs and sweetness. Plus, there's no blender required; just mix together everything in a bowl!

- 1 packet (100 g) Frozen acai puree
- 1 cup (226 g) Plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Liquid monk fruit
- 1 medium (110 g) Banana, overripe
- 1 oz (28 g) Walnuts

1. Add your frozen packet of acai puree to a bowl with warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes to defrost.

2. Add your acai to a small bowl with yogurt, cinnamon, vanilla, and liquid monk fruit. Stir together with a spoon.

3. Top with sliced banana and chopped walnuts (or whatever else you want).
