ACAI Bowl

Creating an acai bowl is pretty simple. The instructions are on the packets of acai. I have found a game changer is passion fruit juice as the liquid you add. I figured why not share how I make and what I use. Ingredients 1/2 cup passion fruit juice 1/2 ripe banana 1/2 cup frozen strawberries…
