Ever order flowers online as a last-minute birthday gift to your mom? Sometimes, you pay the cost of convenience. But like those pricy petals, you shouldn’t make a habit of eating out. The café down the street does not need your business every day. Besides, you can make an equally as healthy – if not more nutritious – meal in your very own kitchen. First, grab some acai powder. This tropical superfood will be the foundation of your bowl. Next, add the rich, indulgent flavors of coconut and cacao. These will wrangle your sweet tooth while offering good fats and fiber. With a few colorful toppings to finish it off, you’ll have a quick, convenient dish that’s as pretty as your mom’s birthday bouquet.
