I work in healthy restaurant and we make our açaí blend with chickpeas, frozen fruit, and oat milk, and it’s pretty great!! The chickpeas make the bowl so thick and filling, and you can’t taste them at all when their blended with the fruit.
If you guys see how we brazilians eat the ice cream/smoothie type açaí you guys would go crazy with the calories 🤣🤣. But the real açaí in Amazon we eat with shrimp, rice, beans, tapioca etc.
As a Brazilian myself, I’ve never ever ever tried or heard anything about açaí with rice, beans, let alone with shrimp. That’s new for me and really interesting/different. That’s really a regional thing, and the ways Brazilians eat/drink açaí may vary by the region and state! Brazil is huge! I’m from São Paulo, so I love smoothie or açaí desserts with fruits, berries, chocolate etc. We are more a “sweet”version of açaí in São Paulo.
@@2eNNeAlanna if you search it up about how people consume açaí in the north of Brazil you will see that they consume that with salty food instead of condensed milk and etc. It’s really interesting
I eat acai as a diabetic (type 2) and still use banana. I do use plain yoghurt as well, to bump up the protein, and I add milk for more protein if I want it thinner. Adding nuts and nut betters can also bump the protein and fats enough to help mitigate the blood sugar spike, it just depends on whether I’ve exercised on not, really. If I go for a walk, I can tolerate more carbs.
@@rachelderrenkamp2741i’m not carnivore but i eat a meat centric diet, no processed foods, seed oils, etc. and it is a big difference, i agree. feel a lot better
@@monetarymeerkat hmm...actually for diabetics I don't think this would be a good idea. Fiber actually decreases the rate at which sugar entries the blood stream which prevents your blood glucose from spiking. If you're diabetic, you actually might want to consider a vegetarian diet. It's lower in sugar and calories, so even if you're insulin resistant, your body can keep up
You can totally eat this OP, it just depends on your exercise and what medications you use to lower your BGL. if you have a dietician, definitely chat with them about it, they can help you eat the things you want in a way that’s going to work for your needs. And ignore the reversal talk, even if you go off meds and manage through diet and exercise, you’d be in remission, but still a diabetic.
Best Açaí is sweetened with guarana syrup! Thick and with tiny tapioca beads on top! Nothing more! Just perfect! This is the Rio de Janeiro’s best! Ideal after the gym or as a meal!
@@deedee2218 No worries. For the Chia pudding you can mix the chia with any milk of your choice. Chia - 2 tablespoons Milk (of your choice) - 1 cup Honey - 1 or 2 tbsps depends how sweet you want it. Or you can use dates (blend them with the milk) Mix it all and you can add more milk if you want the pudding to be less thick. The chia will double the size in 3-5 mins so you can see if it needs more milk. If you are going to mix it with something else, like a smoothie, then I wouldn't add the honey. I like to use less sugar if possible but up to you.
It’s so sad that here in America, açaí is very expensive so most stores have to blend it with too many other fruits. It just ruins the flavor for me 😭😭
Thank you for pointing this out. The açaí and blended foods fad in general are spiking people’s blood sugars when they thing they are being healthy. Plus, no one is chewing their foods and their jawlines are paying the price 😬
What if you make it with just blended milk and strawberry’s berries because I made that and it definitely wasn’t super nutritious but I wouldn’t say it was unhealthy. Although I’ll probably try some yogurt too
Perhaps not from eating the fruit, but blending it up reduces the fiber and speeds up the absorption into the blood stream causing quick sugar spikes. It’s better to eat your fruit than drink it.
I don't understand why you need to eat acai in the first place. So many "superfoods" come from far away - depending where you live in the world, of course - and there would be locally grown replacements available. You could just use blueberries without the acai. You could use linseed instead of chia seed. Of course, you CAN also use the hyped foods, but if you then have difficulty to use them in recipes, maybe they are not really ideal for your or these recipes? Why not make a bowl of blueberry yoghurt, locally grown nuts, blueberries and strawberries, maybe with some flaxseeds? Might be equally healthy and have less of a carbon footprint, depending on your location.
Did you also know that chia seeds isn’t healthy?💀 eating things in moderation is fine. açaí bowls is healthy, depends how you customize it. They don’t add sugar in playa bowls. The only sugar is their fruit.
I just had an acai bowl. It was blended with coconut water, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and frozen, topped with chia seed pudding, banana, strawberry, agave, and gluten free granola. Is that a big sugar spike?
@@Llllemon I mean I know but idk which one would be suitable 😐 There's way too many options to just narrow it down with "just use dairy free alternatives" my point it which would work in her opinion Not trying to offend you here but yeah
I love bananas so much I would eat it everyday but it would be so much for me as a diabetic if I ate it often. But yeah I would prefer the banana and honey.
Doesn’t anyone else think it’s kind of weird and problematic that this video is calling out bananas and honey? Those are whole foods that are fine in a balanced diet.
Bananas and honey, if used too much can spike blood sugar (not good for diabetics and prediabetics) and can also be problematic for those with candida, cancer or sibo.
@@telthatruth7533 I said they’re fine as part of a balanced diet. She’s not addressing that and who eats so many açaí bowls that this becomes an issue?

Do you use chickpeas from the can? What brand?
Do you have to blend the fruit with the chicken peas? Have you tried the taste without blended fruits
Thank you Sarah, that is a fantastic tip❤❤

Yess omg when I go to Brazil to visit my family i like it blended with bananas, topped with strawberries and LOTS of condensed milk lol

I am not a peanut butter fan but you gotta melt some peanut butter and honey then drizzle it on top… and add almond slices. 🤤
I can honestly say that I've never had an acai bowl! I'm type 2 diabetic and trying to eat healthier. I'm definitely gonna make this!❤
I've been doing the carnivore diet and my type 2 diabetes is almost reversed! I'm going strong and hard and I've never felt better!
@@rachelderrenkamp2741 so I’m guessing you aren’t trying this açaí bowl then huh? Because the OP would like to.

That looks SOOO DELICIOUS ☺️ And HEALTHY 🫐🍇🥥
I honestly didn't know that until now. Thanks for the advice 😊

Well done for pronouncing açaí correctly! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That looks so delicious 😋 and healthy ❤.
Thank you for ideas! Very helpful
That looks so good 🤤
Can we get a link to the glass bowl jar you use?
Do you have a cookbook? If not you should bc your dishes look amazing and I would love to try and recreate them.
I need more of these options please share some more pre prep quick meals please
I'd love to add some oats and crushed walnuts or crushed almonds. With a tbsp of hemp hearts and a dash of moringa powder. 😊 thanks for sharing
I may be late to the game but what is moringa powder? What does
It do? Just curious 🤔
That looks so good!
Add frozen grapes makes it sweet
This looks Good 😋
😂 I love how you pronounced Aĉia and acia differently in the same video lol
I think you must mean açaí
She's 🤡 always pronouncing food/fruit names weirdly 😂
Looks so delicious 😋
This looks delicious 😋
Where you go buy your yogurt jars with spoons? Do you have a link
Where did you get your cup?
Do you have a video on the full recipe?
That’s a cute bowl where did you buy this?
Very helpful 👌 thanks
That sounds amazing! But I'm not a fan of coconut , unless is water or milk
Looks yummy 🤤
Love this one ! Yougurt instead of banana
I love açaí bowls!!!!
To be honest, this is the first time that I’ve ever heard anyone say the word “açaí.“ I’ve always pronounced it as “uh-KAI” LoL!
Hi what did you blend with plain yogurt before putting in chia seeds and blueberries this looks good.
That looks delicious, and great dessert for diabetics like me.
🤤 Yummy 😋 Thank you🌹
It’s natural sugar who cares… but if you’re looking to up your protein intake and cut on the calories it makes sense
Can you share what acai you used? And you make your chia?
😂😂😂 🤦🏻♀️ she buys the chia.
@@liu.u I think she meant to ask how she prepares the chia.
@@deedee2218 I see two questions 🙄
@@liu.u Sorry. didn’t meant to come down on you. Also I would love to know how the lady prepared the chia (chia pudding)
@@deedee2218 No worries. For the Chia pudding you can mix the chia with any milk of your choice.
Chia - 2 tablespoons
Milk (of your choice) - 1 cup
Honey - 1 or 2 tbsps depends how sweet you want it. Or you can use dates (blend them with the milk)
Mix it all and you can add more milk if you want the pudding to be less thick. The chia will double the size in 3-5 mins so you can see if it needs more milk.
If you are going to mix it with something else, like a smoothie, then I wouldn't add the honey. I like to use less sugar if possible but up to you.
Thank u so how is the order when u make or
Where did u get that açaí cup so cute
It’s so sad that here in America, açaí is very expensive so most stores have to blend it with too many other fruits. It just ruins the flavor for me 😭😭
Thank you for what you do! Oh, and how do you eat this wonderment?
Great idea!
So early Ariana still has tears left to cry 😭
Love açai 🙏🏼

Siggyssss! My favorite yogurt
What if you make it with just blended milk and strawberry’s berries because I made that and it definitely wasn’t super nutritious but I wouldn’t say it was unhealthy. Although I’ll probably try some yogurt too
What did you mixed with the plain yogurt? Berries? To get the purple color
Frozen açaí
Your body is actually able to process natural sugars. No one gets diabetes from eating too much fruit.
That's interesting and you know what that makes sense.
This is for the ones who can't eat any type of sugar or need to reduce it. I have PCOS and I need a diet low in carbs and sugars to manage it.
Perhaps not from eating the fruit, but blending it up reduces the fiber and speeds up the absorption into the blood stream causing quick sugar spikes. It’s better to eat your fruit than drink it.
Dairy holds a lot of sugar I would suggest plain non dairy version.
Good idea!
Where are those containers from?
What do you do with the chia seeds?
Can you use Acai powder as a substitute?
Umm so yummy! 😲,😋🤤

When are you going to make a cookbook?
What brand of acai do you buy?
Where is that jar from?
i think most people have acai as a healthier alternative to ice cream, not as a meal replacement
Trader Joe’s has acai packages ( no sugar )
Thanks!
I need to try this. Siggi’s is delicioso
Where did u get ur acai

@Tracy Jewels but isn’t that good sugar because fruits and veggies are good for you
Acai berry is super food.
How much sugar does it contain?
i kinda hate that açaí got popular, now is getting more and more expensive because a lot of it gets exported
Awesome 💪👍
What's the white liquid
Or get the plain açaí from the store and add whatever you’d like to it
When i order it was mostly ice
Recipe please
Honey doesn’t spike blood sugar levels tho..... 🤔
Best açaí is in Brazil 🇧🇷. Period
Some puertorican food would be nice!
Is there any way to make an acai bowl exactly like how you made it but dairy free???
It it's not too much asking 😅
Just use dairy free alternatives
@@Llllemon
I mean I know but idk which one would be suitable 😐
There's way too many options to just narrow it down with "just use dairy free alternatives" my point it which would work in her opinion

i like the recipe please
That’s a lot of natural sugar between all the fruits.
perfection
do not slander my açaí bowl from lofty in san diego they know what they’re doing 🧐

Where did yuh the glass bowl
Looks yummy
honestly to me bananas and honey are just as healthy and taste better so i’ll keep making them that wga
I love bananas so much I would eat it everyday but it would be so much for me as a diabetic if I ate it often. But yeah I would prefer the banana and honey.
I love brazilian açaí bowl
ouu laa laa looks tasty
Yum...yes please
Ok you don’t order them , what in the helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll does that have to do with us ? 😂😂Haha 😂😂
😍😍😍
That is my favorite brand of yogurt
Everyone is anti sugar I need lots. My body depends on this
Me too!
I can never find plain açaí at stores
Try brazilian markets, they usually have it. Or a brazilian bakery
Try trader Joe's
I know it's labeled yogurt, but skyr is technically a cheese.
Woooaaaahhh what!!!! Really?!?!?!
