Acai Bowls

I love an Acai Bowl - I really do! I googled to find a recipe so that I could make them at home and have the kids take them to work.

Acai Bowls
1 cup frozen fruit, your choice
3/4 cup liquid (orange juice, almond milk, coconut water)
1/2 cup greek yogurt
200 grams (2 packets) frozen acai puree, broken into pieces*
1/2 Tbsp honey

Toppings: granola, coconut, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, etc.

Add the liquid and yogurt to your blender first. Add the frozen fruit and broken up acai. Blend until incorporated. Add additional liquid if needed.

Use a one cup measuring cup to transfer Acai blend to your tupperware. Drizzle honey over the top and freeze.

The morning you want to have it for lunch, take it out of the freezer and pack toppings to go.

*I have used Trader Joe's Acai puree (there are 4 packets in one bag) and I have also used Sambazon brand - found at any grocery store.

Beef and Sweet Potato Bowls

My daughters saw this one on Tik Tok and it's been eaten around the house several times. Last night I made it for dinner - so everyone tried it. It's an unusual combination of ingredients - but all of us thought it was good! Nice that you can customize it to your liking too - my youngest didn't want cottage cheese - which I get - but it was actually a nice counter balance to the sweet potato - like sour scream to a baked potato. 

Beef and Sweet Potato Bowls

1 lb ground beef

3 Tbsp Taco seasoning

Sweet potatoes (1/2 for each person)

Avocado (1/2 for each person)

Cottage cheese

Hot honey

*I added diced onions and diced bell peppers to ours bc they needed to be eaten.

You can cook the sweet potatoes however you want, but today we roasted them whole. 300 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes. They turned out perfect!!

Cook the ground beef, add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water. 

Once the sweet potatoes are done, I peeled them and diced them. Added ground beef to my bowl, added avocado and cottage cheese. Salt and pepper all your ingredients except the ground beef. Drizzle with hot honey and eat!!
