We created our Velvet Açaí Bowls with one simple intention—to give our customers a delicious, hearty meal packed with real food, healthy ingredients and fresh fruit. Consistent with our efforts to be a green business in the world of frozen yogurt, we’ve also put extensive thought into the creation of our Açaí Bowls. We’ve selected companies to work with who practice sustainability, we only use cups and spoons that are biodegradable, and we always do our best to buy local and organic.




Our Menu

Each bowl is constructed with organic Açaí as a base, and topped with organic granola, fresh fruit and a variety of other healthy ingredients to give you a meal that is both nutritous and extremely tasty!


Raw Açaí


Açaí

First off, what is Açaí? Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is a dark purple berry that grows in the rainforest of the Amazon.

Considered by many to be the leading “super food” and one of nature’s most complete and healthy foods. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. A 100-gram serving of Açaí contains only 90 calories, just 2 grams of fat and no cholesterol. Plus, it delivers 3.5 grams of dietary fiber.

We use a frozen Açaí pulp (the fresh Açaí berry has too low of a sugar content, causing it to perish within a day of harvest, but by freezing the pulp it can make the long trip from Brazil), and blend it together with different fruits and ingredients to create the perfect base for our yummy bowls!





Healthy Add-Ins
Bee Pollen
An optional additive that not many people are familiar with. Many people think Bee Pollen comes from bees, but really, they act as a transporter of this dust-sized seed found on the stamen of flowers. So why eat it? Bee Pollen has immeasurable health benefits! It has every essential mineral, packed with vitamins, busts energy and promotes a healthy immune system!

Goji Berries
A pink berry that grow in the subtropical regions of the south pacific. They are loaded with nutrients, believed to protect the liver, help eyesight and boost the immune system. Add it to any bowl for a delicious, healthy twist!

Spirulina
Spirulina is a type of green "superfood" that is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It contains valuable nutrients, including B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid).

Organic Non-Fat Yogurt
We use an organic non-fat plain yogurt for the base of two very popular bowls. Yogurt is packed with live and active cultures that aid in healthy digestion, can boost your immune system and is loaded with calcium and protein.

Goji Berries & Hemp Seed




Crafting Our Bases

We blend our organic Açaí puree with fruit and one of the following liquids to form a creamy delicious base for the majority of our bowls.

Coconut Milk
We use a smooth, rich and creamy coconut milk for the base of our Hanalei Bowl. Our coconut milk is made from Organic coconuts and is certified gluten free, soy free and vegan. Coconuts milk contains many vitamins, minerals and electrolytes including potassium, calcium and chloride. Coconut is made up of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids that the body quickly turns into energy instead of storing as fat. It makes the perfect alternative to dairy and soy!

Hemp Milk
This milk is slow to gain popularity, but we love to add it to any bowl because it’s a highly nutritious alternative to all our other liquids! Hemp is rich in “complete” proteins as well as omega fatty acids and fiber.

Apple Juice
We use 100% pure pressed apple juice – never sweetened or from a concentrate! Guaranteed natural goodness!



Toppings
Raw Organic Agave Nectar
Agave nectar is a natural alternative to sugar, corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners, and is used in our organic yogurt bases or as topping to any of our bowls! Our raw organic agave nectar is ultra-delicious with mouthwatering complexities of butterscotch, caramel and molasses tones.

Granola
We use an organic hemp and flaxseed granola in every bowl. It contains whole grains, high in fiber and ALA Omega-3’s.

Fresh Fruit
We top all of our bowls with fresh delicious fruit cut daily. We use organic, local fruit whenever possible and guarantee freshness

Coconut Flakes, Almond Slices or Flax Seeds
We like to add a delicious twist to any bowl by adding these house favorites. Change the texture and flavor to any bowl with these healthy treats!
