acai bowls

i'm always up for a good fad. my brother remarked the other day that it would be awesome to have a store that changed its products with the tide of fads. meaning, first it would've sold boba milk tea, then frozen yogurt, then cupcakes, and now contemplating a ready transition to cake pops.

the internet recently exposed me to a potentially lost fad and brilliant product called the ACAI BOWL.

basically, it's made up of pureed acai, blended with a banana and soy milk, topped with granola and toasted coconut flakes. there's a few places in the bay area that sell 'em, but they run up to ten bucks a pop, which feels pricey.

so i decided to make my own!

the acai comes in frozen packs, in packs of four.

you're so supposed to stick the bananas, puree, and soy milk into a blender, but i don't have one so mix with fork it is. i got a little desperate here and started chopping the mixture up with scissors. this is about the point where i realized that the fork/scissors combo was inadequate, but i was too far in to give up.

the finished product!

it was actually pretty tasty and i've started eating a variation of this for breakfast. try it!!!
