Lately, I've been obsessed with Acai bowls. They are essentially like a very healthy version of ice-cream. The Acai food trend really kicked off in the summer of 2015. They were seen a lot in local juicery's and smoothie shops. The Acai berry originated in Brazil, and can be made into powder or frozen form. Acai also has heart-healthy benefits. The Acai berry is an antioxidant and has the ability to lower cholesterol levels. It also aids in weight loss, promotes healthier skin, improves digestive health, has anti-aging effects and boosts in energy and mental health (according to Linda Wagner). These things are beyond addicting, and you will crave it in all weather conditions! It is also a really great meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For added nutrition and taste, you can add berries, bananas, granola, coconut shreds and honey/agave.

You never thought eating healthy tasted so good! Well, it does, and it is time for you to find foods that are tasteful and healthy for your mind, body, and soul. You can Yelp for your local Acai bowl locations and find out what I am talking about.
