Recipe of the Month: Blenders & Bowls – Austin’s Favorite Açaí Cafe

Blenders & Bowls was founded back in 2010 by two best friends, Erin and Kara. After moving from Hawaii to Austin, they had their hearts set on turning a food craving into what is now Blender & Bowls. Since then, Blenders & Bowls has made their mark in Austin, Texas, not only successfully opening five locations throughout Austin, but even making a name for themselves during the Austin City Limits festival as a must-have for festival grub. Not shying away from growth, Blenders & Bowls continued to push innovation in their recipes, bringing you some good ol’ B&B right to your kitchen. 

Blenders & Bowls recently launched their pre-blended smoothie bowls in grocery stores across Texas. These pre–blended bowls, which include all fan-favorites at the cafes, can be found in the frozen fruit section at your local grocery store. All of their bowls are made with organic açaí and dragon fruit. They use high quality ingredients like organic hemp granola and local honey on every bowl. Our blenders (smoothies) are made with fresh frozen fruit, fruit juice or nut milks and veggies. They keep things simple — yet so delicious!

Why Acai? 

Açaí is wonderfully delicious and nutritious. The skin of the berry is enriched with the highest concentration of antioxidants than any other known fruit in the world! It has 16 types of antioxidant compounds, compared to five found in blueberries. These life-enhancing antioxidants and omegas protect against free radicals and promote overall health, increased energy and vitality.
