It goes without saying that for most of us when we think of Acai, it is in the frozen puree variety. Do you feel that Acai Powder just does not have the same appeal?
Look at these benefits of keeping Acai Powder in the pantry!
Powder can replace frozen acai puree easily by adding 2 ice cubes to any Acai bowl recipe
- When you run out of frozen Acai puree, a sachet of powder is always on hand!
- Acai frozen puree is often out of stock at the supermarket
- Powder is easier to blend if you do not have a decent blender!
There are several varieties of powder available, but try to choose an organic, freeze dried powder without added fillers to get optimal flavour and nutrients.

Topping ideas for your Acai bowl recipe:
Some of our favs are:
- coconut
- unsweetened yoghurt
- shredded coconut
- chopped fresh dates
- sliced kiwifruit
- thinly sliced pear wedges (great for scooping)
- more blueberries
- fresh banana
- fresh strawberries
- passionfruit
- melon
- chopped almonds or pistachios
- and last but certainly not the least important…… a drizzle of bush honey (it goes all chewy when it hits the cold), simply divine!
Before you purchase an Acai powder please take a moment to check the list of ingredients as these powders differ and some brands may actually contain less acai than others.
All of our recipes recommend using 100% unsweetened acai, organic if possible, for optimal results and nutritional benefits.
