Healthy Eats: Acai Bowl Recipe
In 2018, I'm making it a goal of mine to eat a lot healthier. However, I don't want this lifestyle change to feel torturous or draining, so I always make it a point to ENJOY the healthy foods that I'm consuming. Thus, I've made a huge effort to change my diet choices for the better by incorporating more nutritious options into my meals. For the new year, I've partnered up with MilkAndEggs to introduce to you guys one of my FAVORITE healthy snacks to dig into - acai bowls! To put a fancy twist to things, I made these delicious acai bowls and served them in PINEAPPLES so be sure to check out the recipe down below if you want to recreate this beautiful creation of moi! ;)

Acai bowls are up to the chef's creative freedom so I had a lot of fun decorating these two bowls! If you need some acai bowl decor inspo, I highly recommend Pinterest for the most aesthetic looking acai bowls! So, if you're ready to make these acai bowls, let's get to it!
*NOTE: Just a tip for my first-time acai bowl makers, be sure that the acai bowl consistency is somewhat thick and less liquid-y. The left acai bowl I made held my toppings and fruit quite well because the consistency was thick enough to secure these ingredients in place. However, the right acai bowl had a very watery texture and it was more difficult to hold the fruit in place. Just thought I should help my homies out before I show ya the recipe ;)
P.S. I purchased the granola for this recipe from Trader Joe's, but I've always wanted to try a specific granola brand called Gr8nola - it's Chriselle Lim's favorite!
