Other acai smoothies are a hassle because you have to make them into smoothies, but since it's already made into an acai bowl, all you have to do is add some toppings and it'll be an acai bowl. I haven't made the bowl yet, but I just eat it like ice cream, and I'm very satisfied with it as a substitute!!!!

There were four packs.I made two mini acai bowls from one pack.The acai itself has no flavor, so I added honey to sweeten it,and it was thicker than I expected.I would have liked it to be a bit more like a sorbet.It's packed with polyphenols, dietary fiber, iron, and calcium, so it's very nutritious.
