Have any of you shopped at WinCo foods alone, without children, and realized how amazing their “bulk” section is? How have I been missing out on this secret!? WELL. I’ve gotta tell ya… if you’ve got one near you, check it out. They have bulk flour, chia seeds, bulk oatmeal and specialty honey. My favorite… pressed almond butter that you squeeze into a container all yourself. And it is delicious! I felt like a kid in a candy store. (And you can bet I stocked up on some bulk jelly bellies too.) So… as I have this giant container of almond butter in my cupboard, I thought there is no better time to share this super yummy super food snack!
“You can take acai of relief knowing this almond butter acai bowl is healthy and nutritious, even though it tastes like a treat!”
1 packet frozen acai smoothie puree (I’ve seen these in Costco recently)
1/4 cup coconut water
1 frozen banana
1 cup strawberries, quartered
1 banana, sliced
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions:
1. Place the acai packet, frozen banana and coconut water in a blender, and puree until smooth. Pour in a bowl.
2. Cut up fruit and place in the bowl on top of the acai. Pour in the almond butter and top off with nuts and seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
I love acai bowls! I’ve been making mine with acai powder I pick up at Sprouts. I’ll have to try it with Costco’s smoothie puree!
How does the acai powder work? Sounds awesome!
The recipe I use is almost identical, with the substitution of 2 cups of frozen berries in place of the frozen bananas. I add 4 tablespoons of freeze-dried acai powder, which mix with the berries probably creating the mixture in the acai puree from Costco. I also like to sneak a few handfuls of spinach in there… you can’t even taste it! Its a great way to have your veggies without tasting them! 🙂
This looks so delicious!!
