Directions
Follow the instructions to create an authentic and nourishing breakfast bowl. Be sure to use unsweetened açaí for a traditional taste, and customize toppings as desired with fresh fruits or more nuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture. For a super-cold, refreshing bowl, chill your açaí and tapioca pearls before assembling. Feel free to swap Brazil nuts for cashews or almonds if you prefer.
