My favorite thing to eat on campus is an açai bowl. Although it might be an expensive purchase for a smoothie bowl, I would say it is totally worth it. In each bowl, it is filled your choice of smoothies such as an açai, strawberry or blueberry smoothie. Then you top it off with your choice of toppings like granola, peanut butter, coconut flakes, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc. Your average açai bowl is filled with a lot of fruit so you don’t need to be worrying if it is healthy for you or not because it is! It is a tasteful treat that will allow your taste buds to tingle. Go downtown and buy yourself an açai bowl!!
