This bowl of goodness is very filling and is a wonderful protein source with the cottage cheese and whey protein powder. I use Optimized Strawberry Whey Protein Powder which has added leucine for a complete protein.

Since I wanted to keep this acai bowl as a carb source, I used very few items with fat. I have 2 walnut halves, a pinch of chia seeds, a teaspoon coconut, and 1 tablespoon homemade granola on this bowl. The beauty of this bowl is that you can pick and choose which items you prefer.

Chia Seeds are be tiny but they contain antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. They are incredibly rich in nutrients.

Walnuts are nutrient dense and are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other compounds which help with heart and brain issues.

I love me Vitamix Blender. It does a great job blending all kinds of items very smooth. If this blender fits into your budget, I highly recommend it.

The Ninja Blender does well in blending frozen items. They are a good blender for the price.
