Another moment in my life when I realise that hypes aren't always good. Although it looks really pretty, the amount of acai was really measly compared to other places, which doesn't bode well for them with the presence of many other nearby competitors. I could literally count the number of blueberries (that were dried up and of a really weird incomprehensible texture) in the bowl and the pieces of strawberry present probably can't measure up to the equivalent of one strawberry. The acai consistency was also very watered down and it just tasted of puréed fruit rather than acai itself. I'll much rather get my acai fix somewhere else sadly!
At $5.90 per cup, this makes a pretty satisfying post-lunch healthy dessert. It comes with two scoops of frozen acai in the consistency of slightly icy ice cream, topped with bananas 🍌, mangoes, and a granola mix. The granola was actually pretty good for a really healthy tasting granola, consisting of toasted buckwheat groats, sunflower seeds, silvered almonds, sesame seeds and dried blueberries. It's a great treat when you're looking for something to satisfy a sweet-tooth without getting a severe food coma.
Much needed break from all the studying 😱 Finally got my hands on their matcha cocowhip and they were really generous this time with their swirls! Glad to say I really loveddddd it. The consistency is creamy and it wasn't ice-y at all. Not really a fan of the nut mix (it's part of their boxgreenco $1 toppings) because I felt like it didn't go quite well with matcha ice cream, but their sauces are the bomb!
I won't necessarily say I feel healthy after eating this, because I do feel it's sweet (tho MUCH less sweeter than your average dessert) but too sweet to be considered healthy hahaha. Nevertheless, I still enjoy eating this blissfully!
Slightly more icey and not so smooth as normal smoothie bowls imo but I am really obsessed with their amazing granola and coconutty Chia pudding!
The acai seemed to melt very quickly (either they over blended or they added more water inside their blends) but this was still one of the most and value-for-money acai bowls, from how they are relatively generous with their toppings, which is so important, as each scoop should have lots of toppings + acai in order to taste and get a crunchy bite. Would totes eat this again!

Huge sweet-tooth, and yes - I do attempt to eat dessert for every meal.
