Acai bowls are one of the latest food trends. Regardless of hype, acai berries are one of the healthiest foods in the world. What's a better way to wake up in the morning than with delicious breakfast bowls that are also healthy?

Acai is a tropical fruit that comes from acai palm trees that are mostly native to Brazil. According to Clean Eating Mag, this fruit is also called a "Beauty Berry" since it contains numerous health and beauty benefits. Acai is noted for its ability to improve the immune system, increase energy, improve metabolism and is great for the hair and skin.

Here are 7 great acai breakfast bowl recipes you should try:

1.) Pumpkin Papaya

This delicious recipe from Fitness Magazine is vegan, raw and gluten-free. The combination of pumpkin, papaya, and acai will give the body with potassium, vitamins and plenty of antioxidants.

2.) Peanut Butter Coco

While peanut butter has always been a mainstay in breakfast sandwiches, combining it with chocolate is not. Who says you can't have chocolate for breakfast? With this recipe from Clean Eating, you can. The recipe is packed with lots of protein as well as vitamins and minerals from fruits such as banana and strawberry.

3.) Almond Banana Blueberry Chia

It sounds like a mouthful but it's easier than you think. Those are the four main toppings of this acai bowl from Kayla Itsines. It's normal to only blend the acai berries with a little milk but this recipe packs in more nutrition by inserting spinach leaves in it.

4.) Coconut Strawberry

If you want to add a little tropical flavor in your breakfast in the morning, then try this coconut-laden recipe from What's Gaby Cooking.

6.) Raw Chocolate

This recipe from A Little Insanity allows you to have "healthy chocolate ice cream" for breakfast. The chocolate comes from raw cacao and gelatinized maca powder. It is also packed with nutritious food items such as banana and almonds. The toppings are up to you, you can choose to put in the usual berries or you can mix it up with coconut oil, flax oil, kale or spirulina. Satisfy your sweet tooth and breakfast hunger in one go!

Strawberry and matcha seems like an unusual combination but this recipe from Cooking and Beer will make you think otherwise. This filling breakfast bowl contains bananas, strawberries, flaxseed, strawberry and matcha green tea. This is a perfect breakfast bowl that could help you start the week right.
