Dutch Acai Bowl (1 Bowl) and Cappuccino (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Have the cappuccino unsweetened, choose dairy or unsweetened soy milk, and skip syrups, sugar, honey, or sweet toppings.

Eat the acai bowl after or alongside a protein-rich food such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or cottage cheese to slow glucose absorption.

Ask for a smaller acai base portion and avoid juice-based or sweetened acai blends; choose an unsweetened acai puree when available.

Replace granola, sweetened coconut, dried fruit, and chocolate drizzle with chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, or fresh berries.

Keep fruit toppings to a modest portion, favoring berries, kiwi, peach, apple, or pear rather than large amounts of banana, mango, or dates.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and avoid pairing the bowl with other refined-carb foods.
