We got lucky in the Bubble Child kitchen! CEO and Founder of Nossa! Fruits Damien Binois stops by to show us how to make an Acai Bowl with his organic frozen acai. Damien’s company is the only one in France to directly import and sell organic acai, and I’m happy to know it’s from someone with such product for the berry, the environment of Brazil, and food!!

I’m really happy with the way this superfood turned into frozen dessert. It’s completely grain-free, vegan, and gluten-free, and is loaded with minerals, vitamins, antioxydants, and omega fatty acids.

No wonder Brazilians have so much energy.

AVOCADO ACAI BOWL

serves two

400 g frozen acai (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 banana
1 avocado
1/4-1/2 tsp. stevia (depending upon how much you like it)*
a pinch wasabi powder
1 square dark chocolate
1/4 cup dried raspberries
2 tbs. roasted pumpkin seeds
lemon zest

1. Blend acai, banana, avocado, stevia and wasabi in a blender, starting with the banana and avocado on the bottom, and the acai, stevia, and wasabi powder on top.
2. Immediately spoon into serving containers. Top with raspberries and pumpkin seeds. Add a pinch of lemon zest, and finally grate some dark chocolate on top with a microphone for a fabulous texture.

*if you hate stevia, agave nectar or coconut sugar are other low glycemic replacements. Add about 2 tbs. or each if you’re replacing the stevia.
