Homemade Acai Bowls

I mixed it up for breakfast this week with homemade acai bowls, seriously delicious! The ingredients are simpler than you’d think and homemade is a fraction of the price. 🙂 My version is the cost of 2-3 bowls from a popular chain but these homemade recipes will easily make 12-15 bowls! I made two differentContinue reading “Homemade Acai Bowls”
