Acai Power Bowl


I feel like the acai berry comes in and out of style! I remember having acai smoothies years ago and now they are back in! The acai berry is known for its antioxidant effects and weight loss benefits. However, studies have shown that this berry has very similar properties to all the other berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries). Berries are always a great option as far as fruit goes and I say eat acai berries, but don't expect miracles! Enjoy : )

Ingredients:
1/2 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt (vanilla flavored would work well here too)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 frozen banana
1 acai packet(I found mine in the freezer section at sprouts)
5-10 ice cubes
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients into a blender or food processor
2. Top power bowl with the other half of banana and granola
