Beat the summer heat with an acai bowl!  This tasty treat only takes about 5 minutes to make and is a well balanced post run snack.  Mix the recipe up by using different toppings such as banana, pineapple, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or dried fruit of your choice.
Ingredients:

  • 1 packet of unsweetened, frozen acai (I like Sambazon brand)
  • 1 c frozen blueberries
  • 1 c fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp Moxie Nosh cashew butter (made in Missoula!)
  • 4-6 strawberries, sliced
  • 1 small apricot, sliced
  • ¼ c hemp granola
  • 1 serving of chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ c water

Instructions:

Blend water and spinach until smooth.  Add in blueberries, acai, protein and cashew butter.  Pour mixture into a bowl and top with melted coconut oil.  Let sit for about 60 seconds and add sliced strawberries, chia seeds, apricots and granola.  Grab your spoon and dig in!
