Benefits of the Açai Cocoa Haze Bowl™

Exceptionally High Antioxidant Content

Açai is one of the top foods ever tested for antioxidants. This is mostly because of its high amount of anthocyanins. These help fight “free radicals,” which are unstable bits that can damage your cells and make you age faster. Cocoa nibs add even more antioxidants called flavanols. Together, these ingredients work as a team to protect your body.

Meaningful Fiber Contribution

With 11 grams of fiber in a serving, this bowl gives an adult about 29–44% of the fiber they need for the day. This fiber comes from many things: açai, granola, bananas, strawberries, and cocoa nibs. It includes two types of fiber—one that keeps your blood sugar steady and another that helps your digestion stay regular.

High Energy from Carbs

With 105 grams of total carbohydrates, the Açai Cocoa Haze™ Bowl is one of the highest-energy choices at Smoothie King. Most of these carbs come from real foods like fruit and granola instead of processed sugar. This helps your body use energy slowly, making it a great choice for long-lasting energy before or after you exercise.

Potassium from Banana

Bananas are a great way to get potassium. This mineral is very important for your muscles, your nerves, and keeping your body’s water levels balanced. One banana usually has about 400–450 mg of potassium. For people who stay active, potassium helps stop muscle cramps and helps the body recover after a workout.

Cocoa Nibs and Heart Health

Cocoa nibs are cacao beans that haven’t been processed much. This means they keep all their flavanols—ingredients that are studied for helping the heart. These have been linked to better blood flow and lower blood pressure. Unlike regular chocolate, cocoa nibs have no added sugar, so you get the health benefits without the extra sweetness.

Natural Mood-Lifting Compounds

Cocoa nibs have natural things called theobromine and phenylethylamine. These can help improve your mood and give you a gentle boost. Theobromine gives you energy that lasts longer and feels smoother than coffee. Phenylethylamine is a compound your brain makes when you feel happy, and eating it can give you a small “uplifting” feeling.

Brain Health Team: Berries and Cocoa

The mix of açai, strawberries, and cocoa works together to help your brain. Science shows that the antioxidants in berries and the flavanols in cocoa are linked to better memory and clearer thinking, especially as people get older. They also help reduce swelling in the brain.

Gluten-Free and Clean Ingredients

This bowl is certified gluten-free and has no fake colors, flavors, or preservatives. For people who cannot eat gluten or just choose to avoid it, this is a safe and healthy meal that does not need any special changes.

High Sugar Content — A Consideration

It is important to know that this bowl has 68 grams of total sugar. This comes from the natural sugar in the fruit and the added sugar in the granola and chocolate drizzle. For people watching their sugar, like those with diabetes, this bowl might be too high. You can make it healthier by asking for no chocolate drizzle and less granola.

Recipe — Make It At Home

Ingredients (1 serving)

Base:

• 1 packet (100g) frozen açai puree (unsweetened)
• ½ frozen banana
• ¼ cup frozen mixed berries
• 2–3 tablespoons almond milk or coconut water (just enough to blend)

Toppings:

• ¼ cup Purely Elizabeth® Ancient Grain Granola
• ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 medium banana, sliced
• 1–2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
• 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread, warmed for drizzling

Instructions

1. Run the frozen açai packet under warm water for 10–15 seconds to slightly soften it, then break it into chunks.
2. Add açai, frozen banana, frozen berries, and your liquid of choice to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and thick — the consistency should be similar to soft-serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times. Add liquid sparingly to maintain thickness.
3. Scoop the blended açai base into a wide bowl.
4. Arrange the granola, strawberries, banana slices, and cocoa nibs across the top in separate sections or rows.
5. Warm the chocolate hazelnut spread for 10–15 seconds and drizzle generously over the entire bowl.
6. Serve immediately.

Notes:

• Frozen açai packets are widely available at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and most major grocery stores. Look for unsweetened varieties to control sugar content.
• If the base is too thin, add more frozen banana or açai rather than reducing liquid, to preserve the flavor balance.
• For a protein boost, blend in a scoop of vanilla or chocolate plant-based protein powder or top the bowl with a tablespoon of almond butter.
• To make your own chocolate hazelnut drizzle, blend 2 tablespoons hazelnut butter with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and a splash of warm water until smooth.
