Açaí is a deep purple berry from the Amazon rainforest, known for its high levels of antioxidants, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. In this protein-packed vegan smoothie bowl from Natlicious Food, it’s blended with frozen bananas and plant-based milk to create a creamy, refreshing base ideal for starting the day – or recovering after a workout.
Each serving delivers around 20g of plant-based protein thanks to the addition of protein powder, making it a strong choice for a post-gym breakfast. The combination helps replenish energy stores, support muscle repair, and keep you feeling full longer.
Topped with fresh fruit, crunchy cacao nibs, chia seeds, and a swirl of peanut butter, this bowl adds a mix of textures and nutrients, including omega-3s, vitamin C, and iron. It’s a vibrant, satisfying way to nourish your body and enjoy the natural sweetness of whole foods.
