I always liked the concept of a smoothie in a bowl and for years I kept giving it a try but I just couldn’t get into it. Well that all changed when I first visited a local smoothie & juice bar that also serves up Acai Bowls. I saw a lady order one and it was the most delicious thing I had laid eyes on in a long time. After that I decided to give them a try and fell in love. Here is my current favorite recipe:
Nutty for Acai

Q: Smoothies in a bowl: yay or nay?
Must try and find Hazelnut Milk! Sounds absolutely divine! 🙂
Pacific Foods has a really delicious Hazelnut Milk (and a yummy chocolate one too) or you can easily make your own but soaking hazelnuts overnight, blend with water and then strain via a nut milk bag or cheese cloth.
I will go the EASY route 😉
