This Raspberry Acai Bowl is a refreshing and delicious breakfast, especially when you add your favorite toppings! It’s easy and ready in a few minutes.
Let’s be honest – I’ve become slightly obsessed with acai bowls. Well, really, it’s all smoothie bowls in general. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I always make them. Like, at least a few times a week. They’ve also crept their way out of breakfast territory and into lunch and dinner territory.
This Peanut Butter Acai Bowl is one of my favorites, and I make it over and over again because, hello, I’m peanut butter-obsessed. But I’ve made room for a lot of other favorites, too—namely, this raspberry acai bowl!
The bright freshness of the raspberries and the sweet acai berries makes such a fresh-tasting blend, and the frozen bananas keep things extra sweet and creamy. That’s all you need besides some milk to help blend it smooth.
The acai I use comes from the brand Sambazon and is pre-blended frozen in packets. You can get the original or unsweetened version. I always get the unsweetened version. I’ve found it at most grocery stores around me, including Vons and Whole Foods. Before I toss it into the blender, I like to break up the frozen acai so it blends smoothly and completely.
For the toppings on this bowl, I went chocolatey. I added dark chocolate chunks, shredded coconut, and chocolate hazelnut spread with a bunch of frozen raspberries.
If you choose to go the chocolate hazelnut spread route, too, give it a drizzle instead of doing what I did. It froze into a strip of chocolate hazelnut spread—delicious, but not what I had in mind. A drizzle of almond butter would also be fabulous on this acai bowl!
Of course, the beauty of an acai bowl is its flexibility. You can replace the raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or really whatever frozen fruit you’d like, or a combination of a bunch of different fruits.
Not into chocolate in the morning? Use your favorite fruits/nuts/seeds/nut butter as your toppings. Coconut, cashew butter, + peaches is another combo I did with this raspberry acai bowl that was pretty outstanding. This acai bowl is just waiting for your delicious personal touch! Enjoy ;)

Acai bowls are all the craze and I’m pretty happy about it. I love adding different toppings and creating different flavors profiles. I’ve never thought about adding chocolate hazelnut spread or almond butter. You just blew my mind :)
You’ve got to try it Mary, especially with some nut butter on top! They’re my fave :)
I have been drooling over your acai bowels lately on Instagram and I defiantly need to make one this week.
Saw this on insta this morning and was drooling- immediately headed over to the nutiva site and now I’m dreaming about that chocolate hazelnut butter! So good.
This bowl – seriously – breakfast goodness right there! It looks so pretty, it’s begging me to make it!
This is gorgeou and delicious. So fresh and healthy. Pinning for sure! Have a great weekend!
Does anybody know about how many calories this is?
It depends on the toppings you use, but if you want to calculate for your exact bowl, you can do so on myfitnesspal.com.
