Throughout college, I've discovered some amazing things about how life can be spent in San Diego. One such occasion was the day I tried my first bowl of acai. Talk about a whole-new-world moment.
According to my best friend Wikipedia, acai bowls, or açaí na tigela ("açaí in the bowl) originate from Brazil and are typically served smoothie style in a bowl and topped with ingredients such as guaraná syrup, granola, bananas, and other fruits. Acai bowls are packed with nutrients and they make the perfect on-the-go snack/meal.
Despite its often heavy non-college-Rachel friendly price tag, acai bowls are a delightful treat that I like to indulge myself in every once in a while.
I've listed here some of my favorite places to eat acai bowls in San Diego. Are these any of your faves? Any acai bowl place I must try either in San Diego or elsewhere? Let me know so I can add to my hunt for the ultimate acai bowl experience!
