If you frequently visit health cafes, you will surely have seen a smoothie bowl pop up on the menu.
These quirky health bowls have become very popular over the last few years.
The original Acai bowl originated in Brazil, popularized by Brazilian Jujitsu founder, Carlos Gracie.
The bowl evolved, and various variations emerged, loaded with toppings like sliced fruit, berries, granola, coconut, and almond butter.
Essentially, it is like a smoothie, except it is served in a bowl with all kinds of yummy toppings!
