Consumption advice
An açaí bowl makes a great breakfast, as long as it is made from pure, unsweetened açaí purée and topped with a handful of nuts, chia seeds and a few fresh berries.
Best preparation methods
Buy frozen açaí purée clearly labelled 'unsweetened', and blend it with unsweetened almond milk and Greek yoghurt.
Important Nutritional Note
Be careful with ready-made açaí bowls in commercial cafés, which are often blended with sugar syrup, concentrated apple juice and caramelised nuts, turning them into a high-calorie sugar bomb.
