The Rise of the Acai Bowl – The Instagram Star of Brunch!

Hello Scoopers! 

It’s Betty here, and I’m going to share something fresh, vibrant, delicious that’s taking the world of breakfast, brunch, and lunching by storm—Acai Bowls!

So, what is Acai?

If you haven’t come across Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) yet, you’re in for a treat! Acai berries are small, dark purple fruits native to the rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil. These little gems are packed with antioxidants, fibre, and healthy fats, making them not just tasty but also a nutritious addition to your diet. Acai has been a staple in Amazonian diets for centuries, but in recent years, it has made a huge splash globally, especially in the form of Acai Bowls.

What’s in your typical Acai Bowl?

At its base, you’ll find a smooth blend of frozen Acai berries, often mixed with other fruits (we use raspberry), and sometimes even a splash of juice or coconut water to get that perfectly smooth consistency.

But the magic really happens with the toppings! A classic Acai Bowl is crowned with a rainbow of fresh fruits (think strawberries, banana, and kiwi), a sprinkle of granola for that satisfying crunch, a handful of seeds, nuts or chocolate chips, then peanut butter or chocolate spread and a drizzle of honey to finish it off. The result - A beautiful meal to look at, photograph and enjoy!

The Instagram Choice for Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch

Acai Bowls aren’t just about taste—they’re also a visual treat that has become the darling of Instagram foodies everywhere. With their vibrant colours and artfully arranged toppings (which are fully customisable) these bowls are almost too pretty to eat…ALMOST!
