Are you craving some ice cream but holding it back because of its high sugar content and calories? If so, then an acai bowl — a popular Brazillian dessert — might be all you need.
An acai bowl consists of mainly acai berries that are frozen and pureed. While this dessert is thick, creamy, and sweet — very much like what we normally get from an ice cream sundae, there is something that an acai bowl owns but regular ice cream doesn’t – nutrition.
This dessert is loaded with antioxidants, fibres, calcium, and healthy fats. Not only that, but it is also low in sugar and calories, making it a guilt-free dessert to indulge in.
Anyone can order acai bowls easily from the comfort of their homes these days, thanks to many shops having expanded their businesses online, with delivery services available. Stay with us to find out the best acai bowl spots in Singapore.

What is an acai bowl made of?
View this post on Instagram
Every acai bowl starts with a smooth acai base.
While a classic acai base can be made with only frozen acai berry puree, bananas, and water, fruit sorbets are often incorporated into the base to elevate the taste. Some of the most used fruit sorbets include mango, passionfruit, and coconut sorbets.
What’s added to the base are the toppings, which are usually superfoods like seeds, nuts, berries, and cacao nibs. Toppings are the key elements to enhance the flavour, texture, presentation, and most importantly, the nutrition of acai bowls.
Lastly, with honey, cookie butter, or nut butter drizzled on the toppings, a bowl of acai goodness is all complete.
