Easy Granola Acai Bowl Recipe
My very first experience with the ever popular “acai bowl” was last February when I was in Honolulu, Hawaii at the International Stroke Conference. It was amazing, but I have to confess it has been tough to replicate the fresh flavor of Hawaii here in Pennsylvania. Ha.
That being said the acai berry – a super fruit native to Brazil – has so many documented health benefits it seemed worth trying to create a recipe that would be easy to make and enjoy.
According to research reported by Healthline, some of the most exciting benefits to this super food include:
- High nutrient density
- Rich in antioxidants
- Lower cholesterol
- Increases cancer resistance
- Improves neuro-cognitive function
Without further ado, let’s check out this easy granola acai bowl recipe (with only 22g net carbs per bowl by the way)!! So many wins!
Bon appetit!

I want to point out here that I use Orgain’s Vanilla Protein Powder, FGO’s Acai Powder, and Costco’s Kirkland Granola Mix (it is THE BEST).
Since we have started incorporating this powerhouse dish into our weekly diet, I created shortcut by making my own acai bowl mix that I store in this 1 qt OXO container with a coffee scoop for quick serving.
