This creamy acai berry chia bowl is my favourite breakfast. It’s so easy to make and cool and refreshing on a hot day.
Acai are rich, purple berries from Brazil and unbelievably high in antioxidants and so delicious!
They are also full of vitamin E which is important for our skin, and essential fatty acids too.
Chia seeds are so good for us! They are bursting with fibre, which keeps you energised and satisfied for hours, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, which are very anti-inflammatory and are amazing for our skin. They are also a brilliant source of calcium for strong bones, iron and protein for energy.
Chia seeds expand to ten times their original size when mixed with a liquid and they bind into a gel. They’re a good egg replacement and bind ingredients together really well. They are great for thickening things up such as in this recipe.
Both of these superfoods can be added to such a variety of foods! Enjoy!
