Here's What You Need For Low Carb Acai Smoothie Bowl:
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 30 grams hemp hearts
- 2 packages frozen unsweetened acai fruit
- 50 grams frozen berries (we used raspberries)
- 1 cup vanilla Two Good Yogurt or any low carb yogurt
- 1/8-1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, add slowly as needed
- 2-3 tbsp sugar substitute, to taste (we used Ketose+ Sweet syrup) or 10-15 drops SweetLeaf Stevia Clear
- 2-3 strawberries for topping
- 5 grams unsweetened coconut chips or flakes for topping
- 15 grams chia seeds for topping

Recipe Notes:
A high powered blender like a Vitamix is preferred for this recipe. We don’t own one personally (sadly) but we wish we had one! Briana uses her dad’s from time to time. She keeps hoping he will upgrade so she can get his current model. They are truly amazing! Any blender should work fine tho, as long as you allow the acai to sit in a cup of water for a moment or two before blending. We also suggest adding your liquid slowly, as this smoothie can quickly become too thin and watery.
You can use any low carb berry you want for this recipe. We chose raspberries and strawberries, but use whatever you like. Just make sure to track your own macros, as they vary from berry to berry.
Sweetener: You can use whatever sweetener you see fit for this recipe. If you’re low carb, we provided measurements for Stevia or liquid sweeteners, as well as for sweeteners that are equally as sweet as sugar. If you aren’t low carb, simply add honey, maple syrup or any sweetener. Please taste test and adjust the sweetness to your liking!

Here's How To Make Low Carb Acai Smoothie Bowl:
Start by heating your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add in your coconut oil, hemp hearts, some ground cinnamon and some sweetener to taste. Move the hemp hearts around continuously for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the heat and seat aside until you’re reading to top your bowl.
Pull your acai out of the freezer and place in a cup of water for 1-2 minutes before blending. Add your acai and raspberries to your blender.
Next, add your yogurt, sweetener and about half of your milk of choice to the blender.
Blend, and make sure you like the texture. We like our smoothie bowls a little thicker, so we decided to add ice and the rest of our nut milk.
Pour your smoothie mix into your bowl, smooth with a rubber spatula and begin topping! We add the hemp hearts first.
Add your chia seeds and strawberries.
Add coconut flakes, then dig in immediately! (After you take a photo of course.)
