hey it's Robin Openshaw green smoothie
girl and today I have a surprise guest
who's going to make you an acai bowl
hey everyone Robin Openshaw here and
this is my dear friend Holly Jackman and
she owns the roxbury stores in Orem
American Fork Hyland and Murray and
they're about to open one in Lehi so
Utah County in Salt Lake County if
you're lucky enough to live by one you
already know that I send you there for
your green smoothies you can even go
through the drive-thru for them yes
but Holly is an expert in making
something else I actually went to her
house two Christmases ago when I didn't
have my kids and she knew I was kind of
brokenhearted about that she invited me
over for Christmas morning breakfast and
so I went over there with a girlfriend
and what did you make us
we had acai bowls and that was a
wonderful memory for our family so we
hope they'll do it again it's always an
open invitation yep she she said I could
come again this year and it was the most
delicious thing ever so we're going to
show you how to make it by the way you
can go and get one at any of those
roxbury stores well it's really fun to
be here in Robyn's kitchen today I'm
going to show you how to make an acai
bowl
what's so wonderful about an acai bowl
is it's a great way to really fill up
it's a little more than a smoothie you
can top it with granola eat it with a
spoon make it more hearty and it's a
wonderful excuse to get more plants in
your diet health and nutrition vitamins
minerals great way to add superfoods all
with an off side you pull so first thing
you want to do is grab some acai juice I
love this brand is from Sam bazan and
I'm going to put about 14 ounces in so a
little bit under two cups here if you
don't have the juice you can use these
frozen packets and get them at the Whole
Foods stores next you want to add one
cup of frozen mangoes gives it a really
good consistency and thickness after
that add one and a half cups of
blueberries frozen blueberries and then
last add your banana mix that in you can
use a frozen banana or a fresh banana
both work out very nicely and this is
our one of the secrets that we have at
Roxbury is we use very minimal ice so
this is about three ice cubes if you're
at home so I'm going to blend this
really quickly we've got a blender full
of wonderful ingredients blend it in
your high-speed blender and you will
make our offs I equal if you would like
you can add green smoothie girl GSG
likes protein we have these available at
our store I love to put the berry
protein in my acai bowl and they're
superior to anything we've seen out
there they're raw they're organic gluten
free soy free they're made from the
whole plant adding protein to your diet
will help slow down the impact on sugar
on your blood system all right now I'm
going to add Robins GSG life tri Omega
this is a powerhouse of omega-3s you
will love adding this this is great for
your brain health and for your
cardiovascular system just a great way
to feed your family fill your family and
all it is is sprouted Chia
flax and broccoli seeds if it's too thin
just added more frozen fruit if it's too
thick add a little more juice but you
want it to be sort of a thick
consistency and where you can eat it
with a spoon
all right once it's blended this is
where the fun begins you can be your own
artist there's
limit to what you can add to your acai
bowl I'm going to start with some
granola this is the granola recipe that
Robin has in her 12 steps to Whole Foods
and something that my family loves so
I'm going to put a lot on there I'm
going to add some raw sesame seeds some
Chia flax and hemp seeds some almonds
put some goji berries in here the goji
fruit is very high in protein and it's a
super fruit very tasty
these are coconut flakes unsweetened
sprinkle a little bit of coconut on
there I love to add these chocolate
chips the brand that I love to use is
called enjoy life able to get this at
the health food store that's near my
home it is a dairy-free and soy free
choice and you would never know it
it melts like chocolate it tastes like
chocolate it's just delicious
these are cashews that are fresh get the
raw cashews you don't want anything with
oil or added salt or roasted alright I
have this beautiful Bowl in front of me
and want to top it off with some fresh
fruit you can design it however you
would like
