If you ever wake up on the wrong side of bed my acai bowl can save your day! Dubbed by the Brazilians as the “Beauty Berry,” acai berries truly do the body good from the inside out.

Did I mention that this breakfast is also delicious?!

I love adding some granola, homemade coconut chips and/or roasted nuts on top to bring in some extra crunchiness. You might prefer to only use either the almond milk or the coconut water/milk.
