Low Carb Acai Smoothie Bowl

I love smoothie bowls and this low carb acai smoothie bowl is no exception! Most smoothie bowls have a lot of carbs and sugar in them and with my PCOS, which causes blood sugar issues, I can’t indulge in them as often as I would like. So I created this recipe that is low carb, full of fiber and packed with healthy fats and protein. Plus, it’s totally vegan! It’s not too sweet but really refreshing and you will love it!

Pinning down the exact nutrition for this recipe is a little difficult because there are a wide range of products that do vary in nutritional specs. So when choosing products I try to find the most natural form of the product and the ones with the least amount of sugars and max amount of fiber. Here are the rough nutritional details using the rawest forms of the ingredients.

This smoothie bowl {toppings included) is roughly 265 calories with the bulk of those coming from the roughly 19.7 grams of healthy fats from the coconut chunks, nuts and seeds. Just about 8 grams of protein and about 11 total carbs with about 5 grams of fiber so when you subtract the fiber from the total carbs you end up with a total net carbohydrate amount of around 7. For a fruit smoothie bowl that is incredibly low!
