XRCEL Açaí Smoothie Bowl

By Rebeccah Wassner, Pro Triathlete and food blogger Athlete Food 

 

This recipe was inspired by the açaí bowls found at Basik Cafe in Kona, Hawaii . This cafe has been known to fuel athletes preparing for the upcoming Ironman World Championships – so you might see them popping up on your favorite pro triathlete’s Instagram feed this week. 

Our Athlete Food version includes XRCEL, an ingredient we added because it replenishes depleted energy stores after a workout with readily convertible carbohydrates.

 Enjoy,
