Dragon Fruit Acai Bowl 2

Thank you Melissa’s Produce for sending this bounty of #FreakyFruit so that I was able to make this dragonfruit acai bowl.

An acai bowl is a thick smoothie that’s made with fruit,  acai puree or powder then topped with granola, fruit, nuts, chocolate or nut butters.  Store bought acai bowls taste delicious good, but they are full of added sugar.  They are super easy to make at home, and you can control the ingredients, and they still taste delicious.  This acai bowl has no added sugar, it’s naturally sweetened by the fruit.

Frozen banana slices and avacodo thicken up the acai bowl while the dragonfruit adds a subtle tropical fruity flavor.  Spinach is always an ingredient in my acai or smoothie bowls, but if that’s not your thing, you can leave it out.

Homemade acai bowls are perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast that will keep you feeling full all morning long.  Blend up a double batch and you will have breakfast for two days!

Change it up:  Nut milk or dairy milk can be used in place of water.  Yogurt can also be substituted for the avocado for an extra punch of protein.

    Oh how I miss dragonfruit. Such a curious fruit. I remember eating these bowls in South East Asia for breakfast. I cannot wait to duplicate the experience in my home. Alas, sans palm trees and tropical temperatures.
