Crunchy

Chewy

Filling

Energizing

The perfect meal for any time. It's on repeat in our house! Acai is packed with all the good things - antioxidants, omega fatty acids, polyphenols , flavanoids, fiber, iron, calcium, zinc, manganese, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, B's + C, K, protein .. and more. It's just awesome!

Makes 2 thick + dreamy acai bowls (or one bowl for a GIANT).

DO THESE STEPS:

Gather your favorite frozen fruit: I use pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries and banana. Add these to your food processor.

Add your acai: I used Sambazon's unsweetened frozen acai berry pulp packs. You can find these in many health food stores or online. 

Liquid: You want to keep this bowl THICK! Add only enough almond milk to get things blending. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Keep blending until smooth.

Assemble: Once blended, spoon out into bowls. Now comes the fun part - toppings!

Follow your heart here. I top mine with:

Sliced banana

Chopped walnuts

Chia seeds

Coconut flakes

Golden raisins

Peanut butter

Divine Organic's cacao nibs

Go Raw's sprouted granola

Enjoy!

curried cauliflower rice with sweet potato

Look no further. All your lunch dreams have come true.

Just a couple simple steps for a one-way train to flavor town.

DO THESE STEPS:

Sweet potato: Cube 2 medium sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Add a pinch of sea salt and pepper if you're feelin it. Roast at 375 for 45 minutes until looking tender and fine. Do this first so its doing its thing while you prep everything else.

Zucchini: Slice 3 zucchini (zucchinis? what do I call this?). Sprinkle with garlic, pepper, oregano and basil. Roast at 375 for about 20 minutes until crispy and awesome.

Cauliflower rice: Pulse 1 head of cauliflower in food processor until rice-resembling. So stinkin' simple, am I right? Now let's get this baby sizzling.

Saute 1/2 an onion (any kind of onion, okay?) in a bit of coconut oil. Add some garlic.

Add in your cauliflower along with curry spices and some extra turmeric. This will anti-inflam you and also tastes great. Add a pinch of sea salt, ground pepper and cayenne pepper.

Grate a whole carrot right into the pan. Yes, right in. No holds barred.

Add about a cup of garbanzo beans (aka chick peas, aka the most chic peas).

Remove from heat. Sprinkle with a handful of cashews, golden raisins and chopped cilantro. Get excited.

All together: To assemble, scoop a generous heap of the cauliflower rice into a bowl (or a plate, or any vessel of your choosing). Add some of the roasted goods - sweet potato and zucchini. Top with some greens. Any greens. I used a spring mix, maybe you will as well. Drizzle it all with a little tahini (if you're into that kind of thing) and your favorite hot sauce.
