If it was down to me, I would have Switzerland's morning croissant replaced with an acai bowl! Not only is this dish incredibly tasty, but it also contains so many vitamins and nutrients that you're guaranteed a wonderfully energetic start to the day! As well as being packed with thousands of antioxidants, acai berries are also high in fibre, contain Omega 3, 6 & 9, and are completely free from refined sugar. If you are not yet familiar with the acai berry (which is now finally also available as a frozen puree!), I can only suggest you try out this recipe as soon as possible! P.S. In Brazil – where acai berries grow abundantly in the Amazon rainforest – Brazilians love to enjoy their acai topped with crunchy granola, slices of banana and berries. Me too! Personally I love mine with crunchy muesli.
