Passion fruit acai bowls

It's 100F outside in Los Angeles right now. All I can think about are lemonades and frozen drinks. What I would do for a mango daiquiri right now. But because I'm in LA, people don't spend money on daiquiris here. Instead they spend more than twice as much on fresh pressed juices and acai bowls. After having a couple, I quickly realized I was over paying someone to blend fruit for me, so I decided to make my own at home.

All you need is frozen acai, frozen fruits of your choice, fresh fruits of your choices, and toppings of your choice. It really is that easy. The hardest part is probably the patience in plating it so that it turns out as visually appealing at the ones on Instagram. What is LA turning me into.

Perfect for fall in the desert!

2 individual packs frozen acai

2 tbsp muesli
1 tbsp chia seeds
