Get your acai bowl fix

The acai bowl has become a trendy way to make your morning breakfast a fresh colorful treat packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

The tropical fruit is served as a frozen blended smoothie-like base in these bowls. Here are our local recommendations for a refreshing acai bowl:

– Karma Juice Bar and Eatery, in downtown St. Petersburg, offers customizable toppings from raw coconut to pumpkin seeds.

– SOHO Juice Company, located in St. Petersburg and Tampa, has a wide variety of acai bowls.

– Fit2Run’s Tampa location has a fitness bar where peanut butter and espresso are energizing options in select acai bowls.
