Happy first week of September, friends! It’s finally here. The beginning of fall! Ok, so maybe not officially, but we’re going there. 😉 Today we’re welcoming the fall season with delicious, 5-Minute Fall Acai Bowls!

Because fall mornings should start with all things cranberry, pecan, cinnamon, and oats. But if you’re in Texas, you KNOW we can’t start our fall celebrations off with warm bowls just yet (cough, cough, 90 degrees, cough)! So I propose to you this: Cold, frozen, creamy Acai bowls with ALL the fall toppings!

Fall Topping for your Acai Bowls:

  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Pomegranate Kernels
  • Dried Figs
  • Pecans
  • Apples
  • Great Grains® Raisin, Dates, & Pecans Cereal
  • Great Grains® Cranberry Almond Crunch Cereal
  • Anything else that speaks fall to you!

You guys. These Great Grains® Cereals as toppings….THE BEST. Because they make life better by having everything fall mixed into one, epic cereal! Not to mention they make it possible to actually make these 5-Minute Fall Acai Bowls, well, in 5 minutes!

Be sure to head over to the Great Grains® website to download a coupon and try out these delicious cereals!

What is Acai?

Acai are purple grape-like berries that are found on palm trees in South American rainforests. They might be small but they pack a punch of healthy goodness from being high in fiber to being rich in antioxidants and vitamins including calcium and heart healthy fats.

Did I mention that they are incredibly delicious? Add acai berries to smoothies is one of my favorite ways of enjoying them and adding the superfood into my diet. 

The beauty about acai bowls is that you can add whatever toppings you want, sit down and enjoy a few moments before the mad rush of the morning but or course you can simply enjoy it as a regular smoothie and take it on the go!

What Type of Acai Berries Should I Use?

Acai berries can come in many different forms; dried, frozen, and even in capsules. So what ones should you use to make an acai bowl?

For this recipe, I use frozen acai berries and it’s my favorite way to enjoy them in smoothies or breakfast bowls. When acai berries are frozen they not only have a deliciously smooth and creamy consistency when added to smoothies but they still contain a ton of nutrients and health properties.

Dried acai powder will also work if you want to add it to other fruits and yogurt but make sure you look out for a good quality powder as some might contain artificial colors and ingredients.

Although capsules can be a good way to add acai to your diets without adding it to smoothies it’s just not fun and they are normally really expensive and contain some sort of artificial ingredients..not good!

These 5-Minute Fall Acai Bowls are the perfect “go-to” breakfast or snack…or post workout recovery….or maybe even dinner, y’all! Anything can happen, right? 🙂

And anyway, we all know how crazy busy these fall mornings can get. We go straight from back-to-school season to the holidays in zero time! Most of us need something easy, quick, and deliciously seasonal for breakfast.

Not feeling Acai? Try topping the Pineapple Mango Smoothie Bowl or Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl with fall toppings for a tropical/fall match made in heaven!

Top Tips for Making Acai Bowls

  • Use frozen acai for this recipe it will give you the best flavor and texture
  • I used plain Greek yogurt but plain yogurt would also work well just try choosing one that has a thick consistency
  • Top with your favorite toppings
  • The acai bowl will keep in the fridge for  1-2 days (without toppings) or you can freeze it in suitable containers.
  • Why not try making the mixture into healthy freezer pops. Simple add to the mold and freeze until needed
