Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
I tried my first açai bowl in Chicago this past year when I stumbled upon Chicago Raw (located at 51 W. Huron St) and when I realized I could make my own for a few dollars cheaper, I became an açai addict. At Whole Foods, the lovely brand Sambazon sells juices, sorbets, frozen smoothie packs and açai powder. I've only tried the smoothie packs when making my smoothie bowls instead of the actual ...
I found this smoothie recipe from an Instagram I just followed recently called Another Hungry Vegan and let me just say my mind was officially blown.
