Have you ever tried an acai bowl (also known as a smoothie bowl)? If not, you most definitely should! If you have had the pleasure of trying one, it’s likely you’re a big fan, I know I am. An acai bowl is basically a thick smoothie topped with fruit, oats, nuts, seeds, or anything your heart desires. These delicious and nutritious bowls are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a mid-day snack, especially in Vancouver’s hot summer sun. I actually can’t think of something better to enjoy while soaking up some rays on one of the city’s beautiful beaches. You’ve likely seen some colourfully enticing bowls being carried around by Vancouverites, and if you’re anything like me you’ve wanted nothing more than to be the one eating them. Well, you’re in luck! Here’s your guide to acai bowls in Vancouver:

I would recommend this beloved West Vancouver eatery to anyone! The Anchor Eatery was inspired by the travel experiences of its two owners who wanted to bring back the foods the fell in love with in different parts of the world. They found themselves mainly in small surf towns, so naturally, they had their fair share of acai bowls. If you love acai bowls, you’re going to be crazy about theirs. You’ll feel like you’re in the tropics with one of these in your hand!

I love North Van! The view from Lower Lonsdale overlooking downtown Vancouver’s skyline speaks for itself. Whether you live in North Van or you like to visit from time to time, you must try Budda-Full. This cozy space is bursting with character and scrumptious eats that do our body nothing but favours. Grab one of their incredible acai bowls and explore North Van, or kick back and enjoy the coziness.
