Something has burst with force in the increasingly relevant world of breakfast. The upward trend that emerged several years ago to bet (and enjoy) a healthy and balanced first meal of the day has a new guest: the açaí.
It is the latest trend. A unique superfood that comes from Brazil and is very similar to our blueberry.
If you are a loyal reader of our Newyorker Diary you will know that several weeks ago we talked about the açaí, and its properties and benefits. In that article, in addition to telling you that
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is a regular consumer of acai and granola during her royal breakfast, we wanted to bring you a little closer to this exotic food.
As we tell you, it is a type of red fruit that
has grown so much in popularity because numerous celebrities have posted on their social networks that they are delighted with its flavor. Athletes, nutritionists, influencers and also restaurants that are committed to natural and healthy food have already joined this trend.
As it could not be otherwise,
what best mixes with the fashionable berry is another trendy food, granola. And if it is La Newyorkina granola, all the better.
Preparing an açai bowl with granola is very simple, you just have to blend the berries (no problem if you want to combine them with other foods), and pour it into a bowl. Then add the granola and the toppings of your choice.
The result will be a kind of smoothie, but thicker, with rich granola on top. Easy and quick to make, healthy and balanced.
One of the original recipes uses banana slices as topping. But you
can use any fruit or food you want. Mango, kiwi, strawberries, blackberries... the good thing about this type of plan is that everything goes well with it.
And you... have you already switched to the açaí bowl?
