A few weeks ago I posted a vegan malt recipe<\/a> that used maca powder for the malty flavor. I mentioned the Navitas Organics brand because I love their maca and, what do you know, a week later I have this box at my door, a gift from Navitas, packed with all kinds of superfood powders! More maca, ashwaganda, chai, turmeric, goji, cacao, and acai powder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been experimenting with creative ways to incorporate some of these ingredients into my recipes lately and I think I hit on something really cool here. The idea is that you make a big batch of acai bowl, with all the ingredients you’d want (banana, berries, acai powder, almond milk, flax, etc.) and then you freeze this into ice cube trays so you have an instant acai bowl on hand anytime the craving strikes. Just blend with a little almond milk, top with some fruit and seeds, and you’re ready to go in 2 minutes!<\/p>\n

Now, WHY would you want to do this instead of just making one bowl at a time? A number of reasons: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To save time. You can do all the “hard” work of measuring and preparing the ingredients in one big batch so that each bowl just needs to be quickly blended when ready.<\/li>\n
  2. If all you have is acai powder instead of the frozen acai puree, this is ideal because it essentially turns the powering into frozen puree, if that makes sense.<\/li>\n
  3. Texture! Becuase *all* the ingredients are frozen into cubes, you end up with a thick frozen texture almost ice cream which would be very hard to do if the ingredients were separate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My base recipe here is pretty cool \u2013 it uses flax and almond butter to boost the creaminess, plus lots of blueberries which combine with the acai powder to add ridiculous amounts of antioxidants, and banana to round it all out. What’s great about this recipe is that you can throw in whatever you like in your acai bowls and it should work fine. <\/p>\n

    Let me show you how I make the cubes…<\/p>\n
