Dutch Acai Bowl (1 Bowl)

Choose an unsweetened acai base and avoid added fruit juice, syrups, honey, or sweetened coconut.

Request a smaller portion or split the bowl, especially if it is served in a large cup.

Replace sweetened granola with chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds for more fiber, fat, and protein.

Use lower-sugar toppings such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or avocado instead of banana, dried fruit, or chocolate sauce.

Add plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or have another protein source alongside the bowl to slow absorption.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and avoid pairing the bowl with a sugary drink.
