TASTEDIY Acai Bowls; must watch video tutorials

So the trend that loads of us fell in love with a couple of years ago seems like it’s here to stay. Acai bowls – Ah Sah Eee! Akayee or Smoothie bowls are delish!

Fully of yummy goodness with fruit and crunchy loveliness on top. And PERFECT for those days when you’ve sweated it out at the gym or you’re just too hot to think of anything but frozen treats.

But OMG while they’re looking gorgeous in the bowl and even better on our Insta Story, they do get a little painful on the pocket.  We did a little research and realised that some of us here at YOMM HQ are dropping up to $16.00 each time we order up a bowl at our fave haunts. One bowl down and there goes a couple of hours at your part time job – OUCH!

So we thought we’d share some of the best DIY tutorials we’ve found so that you can get your blender pumping and your bowls looking (and tasting) amazing!

Love this tutorial from Healthy Breakfast Ideas – even better they promote an UNSWEETENED Acai Blend!

We’d actually recommend dialling down the banana – yup we know they make the bowl awesomely ice-creamy but remember bananas are high in sugar! Better to double down on the berries >

Feeling a little blue? Great White in Venice, California puts a spin on the acai bowl by fusing a smoothie bowl with blue algae!

The bowl is made with passion fruit purée, bananas, almond milk, house-made granola, and of course, flavorless algae. Blue-green algae gives the bowl a beautiful hue, and also happens to be rich in protein, antioxidants, and minerals.

And if you watch no other video tutorial, WATCH THIS one from FABLUNCH!

5 Smoothie Bowls in one tutorial – #mangosmoothiebowl #chocolatesmoothiebowl #blueberrysmoothiebowl #greensmoothiebowl and last but not least a #strawberrysmoothiebowl. Look at the pics – we can taste the rainbow already!

And if eating an Acai Bowl makes us look as fresh as DACEY CASH … we’re in! Deliciousness coming your way with this tutorial >

YOMM ROUND UP:

So the basics remain the same – loads of beautiful fruit FROZEN, combined with dairy, soy or a nut milk, zoomed up until it looks like soft serve, then into a bowl and decorate with your choice of crunchy, juicy, nutty, seedy and fresh toppings!

Note to all: don’t blow up your blender! Stop every 20 seconds, wait until the blades stop spinning completely and stir with a spatula, then blend again.  If it’s just too chunky, add a little more milk to get it all moving.

Oh and if you make too much (like we always do) … scoop the leftover mix into ice cube trays, freeze and then store in ziplock bags.  They’ll will be perfect to add to your next Acai/Smoothie Bowl!

Thanks for checking out this post – these are just a few tutorials I liked.
