Acai bowls are not only pretty for the Instagram grid but are actually good for your cravings and your health. Delicious, powered by superfoods, and easy to eat, acai bowls are also not hard to find around Singapore, making them a great option if you want to level up your choice of snack.
Acai bowl benefits
Acai bowls contain healthy fats and antioxidants, with their combination of fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients that are good sources of fibre and protein. They are also rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure levels and cholesterol.
