ACAI BOWLS?

tasteeeee so um um goood

but are these tastey bowls a good healthy breakfast op?

Say hello to açaí (ah-sigh-ee), the fruit that’s making believers of world-class athletes and health-conscious people everywhere. Grown in the Amazon rainforest, açaí is truly a gift from Mother Nature. It has a rich, berry-cocoa flavor that makes it taste amazing, and its packed with more antioxidants than blueberries or pomegranates, plus loads of healthy Omega fats, protein and dietary fiber.

at my favorite breakfast spot the serve ACAI BOWLS

as a breakfast special

so my friends and clients always ask me

"is an acai bowl totally bad for you?"

let's break it down

ACAI has many many benefits

frozen acai....sorbet has some added ingredients

such as evaporated cane juice & tapioca syrup

THESE ARE GOOD ADDITIVES

but they increase your sugar intake

if there was a preferred time to eat this yummy treat

the morning or early afternoon would be it

to eat fruit sugars....any sugars after 2pm

is not recommended

in the bowl itself you have the sorbet (with added sugar)

then added fruit (that contains sugar)

& the granola (carb.....SUGAR)

sugar overload in the AM will lead to later repetitive crashes.

solution if you just have to have it

ORDER 1/2 a bowl

i do it ALL THE TIME

think it needs to be called

"jos-ersized"

and have some protein first

order your eggs and veg

and have your 1/2 bowl with granola

can you dig!?

my fav thing to order these days from flake

THE VEG Sausage Sandwich

i get it sans bread & cheese

whites instead of whole eggs

add avocado

and the greek wrap dressing for my greens on the side

(i told you i am a pain in the ass)

it is basically an egg white scramble(protein)

with diced tomatoes & veggie sausage(carbs,carbs)

greens on the side(carbs)

& add avocado(healthy fat)

and i am a happy camper

you can have toast....1 piece

but they dont do the gluten free or i would

shhhhhhhh..........SOMETIMES i eat the toast and pretend not to notice

i usually figure it out later

CHEERS

see you at flake X
