An açaí bowl, but better.

Meet the upgraded Açaí Maqui Beauty Bowl.  

You guys know I have a thing for bowls… what is a plate anyway?! My love lies with smoothie bowls and glow bowls in particular but today, we’re adding beauty bowls to the club.

This beauty-enhancing Açaí Maqui Beauty Bowl is essentially a smoothie bowl… but due to the crazy amount of antioxidants swimming in this thick and creamy blend, I decided ‘Beauty Bowl’ was far more appropriate. 

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are powerful substances found in fruits and veggies (like vitamin C and E) that prohibit oxidation of free radicals in the body by neutralizing and removing them from our blood. Our bodies naturally produce free radicals and the antioxidants to counteract their damaging effects but for the most part, free radicals far outnumber the antioxidants we produce naturally.

Basically, antioxidants mean anti-aging. Yaassss to that. To maintain a continual balance, supplementing with extra antioxidants is necessary! So, we Beauty Bowl it up.

Sunfood just released a new product that I had to share with you guys! Introducing their NEW organic Açaí Maqui Bowl mix, consisting of 7 different superfoods such as:

  1. açaí powder
  2. maqui powder
  3. chia powder
  4. lucuma powder
  5. red maca powder
  6. blueberry powder
  7. banana powder

Açaí and maqui are the main superberries in this new blend, made specifically for smoothie bowls at home!

What is Açaí?

The açaí (ah-sigh-EE) berry is a dark purple grape-like tropical fruit. Harvested from açaí palm trees, açaí is native to the rainforests of South America. It makes the perfect base for a thick, smoothie-like puree (an açaí bowl!) that is then topped with fresh fruit and delish toppings. You can find açaí in powder form of frozen smoothie packs. 
 

What is Maqui?

The maqui berry (pronounced “MAH-key”) is a source of strength, stamina and good health and contain more antioxidants than any other food discovered on earth. Wild grown from shrubs in Patagonia, maqui berries are freeze-dried to preserve their uniquely raw and potent qualities. Used in traditional Chilean folk medicine for its anti-diarrheic, anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic qualities, maqui berries contains the highest combination of anthocyanins and polyphenols of any known super fruit or berry, including Acai, Mangosteen, Amalaki and Pomegranate.  

How to Make an Açaí Maqui Bowl at home:

To the blender, add:

  • 2 frozen, ripe bananas (read my post on How to Freeze Bananas!)
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (for extra fiber-rich fruit!)
  • 2 tablespoons Açaí Maqui Bowl mix
  • 1 tablespoon raw almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Pulse and slowly blend, scraping down the sides of the blender when necessary, until it’s smooth and creamy! Pour into a bowl and top with either: fresh fruit (blueberries, banana, kiwi etc.), granola, flaked coconut, chia seeds, hemp seeds and/or a drizzle of melted vegan chocolate (like I did!). Grab and spoon and dig in!
