Today was one of those days - my body wanted something super carb-y after the gym but my mind told me clean and lean was the way to go. With vacation looming, and coming off a month of a totally irregular schedule (not sure what regular is anymore but I digress...) this trendy vegan went clean and lean.
I picked up an acai bowl called the Nutty Elvis. It was FREEZING but totally satisfying. Since I didn't share any, I figured the least I could do is tell you how to make it at home.
Pick up some acai juice and blend it with frozen blueberries and strawberries. You want it to be a very thick consistency, almost like a slightly melted sorbet. Warm a bit of peanut butter (1/4 cup should do it but you can do more) while your blender is going, and slice up half a banana.
Place half of your berry mixture in a small bowl and top with half of the peanut butter and half of the bananas. Then repeat. Of course you want that top layer to look pretty for the 2 seconds before you dig in, so place those banana slices nicely! Sprinkle crushed hemp seeds on top and enjoy!
