Acai is a berry that grows in the Brazilian Rain Forest. About five years ago our pediatric Naturapathic doctor recommended Sambazon Acai to incorporate into my kids diets. This is a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation.
Sambazon makes a freeze dried acai powder that I always have in my fridge and I add it to yogurt and smoothies at home. So, when I heard of Acai Bowls at local places around town, I was determined to see if what they offered was better than what I make at home.
I have driven by this place many times so finally today I went to the drive-thru. The wait was like 20 minutes. But the staff did come out and apologize and offered a student discount...since I'm not a student I did get a military discount of 10 percent off the $6.99 small "bowl".
You pick your own fruit and it was a long list of great tropical fruits to choose from so I picked berries, coconut and honey. Granola and frozen Acai was added. For me I wasn't crazy about the icy cold acai, I guess because I compare it to my own home version where I use yogurt.
There are other smoothie drinks to choose from and you really have to be creative because you have to put it together by choosing all the ingredients yourself.
If the wait wasn't so long I would consider coming back to try out other items.
Overall I'm happy there are places out there offering alternative healthy options.
