10 Reasons To Love Acai Bowls

There's no doubt that these tasty creations have filled all of our Instagram feeds for the past couple years. Call me basic all you want, but I LOVE acai bowls. Not just because my consuming them completes my white-girl aura, but for many other reasons!

1. They're delicious.

Ask anyone who's tried them; açaí bowls are simply yummy! Most of the time they are made to order, so you can make it however you'd like, catered to your personal food faves.

2. They're aesthetically pleasing.

Acai bowls are undeniably the most photogenic meal. Why do you think everyone posts pictures of them?

3. You can make them yourself.

Giphy

All of the basic ingredients for a complete açaí bowl can be found at your average grocery store. You can make them as elaborate or simple as you'd like; it's up to you!

4. They are affordable.

Giphy

The average cost of an açaí bowl is around $8-$10, which I know you would easily spend on an greasy, fatty, altogether unhealthy meal at Chipotle or Chick-fil-A. Make the healthy choice instead and get a bowl!

5. They make a perfect meal for any time of day.

Giphy

They may not look it, but these babies are filling! Although I prefer to enjoy them as breakfast, açaí bowls are great for any mealtime.

6. They can be topped with basically anything.

Giphy

You can add as many or as little amount of toppings as you'd like! Personally, I prefer my açaí bowls loaded with blueberries, banana, strawberries, granola, coconut flakes, and Nutella, but I have a friend who tops hers with only bananas and peanut butter. That's right, they're personal as can be!

7. They are a great date food.

Giphy

My idea of the perfect date is easily a day spent out on the beach, catchin' some rays and splashin' around, followed by a beeline with my honey to the nearest açaí bowl stand. Boys, your girl will love it!

8. They're healthy.

Giphy

The typical açaí bowl is filled with antioxidants, minerals, fiber, vitamins, protein, and healthy fats. Now that is a superfood!

9. The shops they are sold in are altogether adorable.

Giphy

The popular chain açaí bowl shops that I love the most are Playa Bowls and Vitality Bowls. Each place adds their own unique twist on smoothie bowls in general. I'd highly recommend checking them out!

10. They basically taste like ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Giphy

Skip the sugary, fattening dessert and choose an açaí bowl instead. Your tummy will thank you!

Although right now they are primarily prevalent in and around beachy, coastal towns, my hope is that they eventually branch out to the Midwest as well. Give these yummy, unique bowls a try!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
