I’ve been meaning to post this vegan low carb Acai smoothie bowl for awhile and now, following a lovely ‘lil sojourn into the gastronomic landscape of Chapel Hill, North Carolina with a taste of Crystal Coast seafood thrown in, it seems to be the opportune time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This year’s NATJA conference beckoned me to UNC Tar Heel territory – Chapel Hill, North Carolina where a fair amount of exploration into the beer, spirits, and culinary landscape of the area took place, which was then followed by a whirlwind excursion to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast where I indulged in as much boat-to-table seafood as one can gracefully do in two days. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n
But you know the drill – \u00a0now that you’re home – it’s time for a ‘lil bit of cleansing, purifying and detoxing.<\/p>\n
And, Acai smoothies, or bowls, are the perfect vehicle for a healthy jump start, especially if you’re making them at home. Yes, you can buy the very same Sambazon acai<\/a> that most acai bowl places use in their bowls. Sure its great going to Banzai Bowl or some other acai bowl place and having them make it for you, but… I generally avoid them because I don’t know how much sweetener is being added and, even though they look so appealing, that pretty purple afternoon delight has a super-size-me amount of calories and carbs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Without getting into a discussion about net carbs, simple vs. complex carbohydrates, and how your body metabolizes each, let’s segue to this Sambazon<\/a> organic a\u00e7ai smoothie made with less than 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of low carb fruit or avocado blended with a cup of greens (kale, chard or spinach) and topped with \u00a0vegan raw Navitas Organics goji berries<\/a> and Go Raw sprouted watermelon seeds<\/a> for that necessary satisfying crunch and more superfood nutrition.<\/p>\n
