Acai & More | Home Delivery
While some people think of it as a fad, a lot of others swear of its health benefits. I just like to think of it as something that’s 3-in-1: healthy, pretty and delicious. I am talking about none other than the famous Acai Bowl. I recently had my dose of acai from the very peppy Acai & More.
This delivery only concept serves up a colourful and healthy selection of acai bowls and smoothies and believe me when I say this, one single portion of any item can easily get you through the day. Since they don’t deliver to my residence or work, I decided to go and pick it up from one of their ‘dark’ kitchens located at the Grand Barbecue Restaurant in Al Hudaiba.
What is an Acai Bowl?
Made with a pulp of mauve-hued acai berries as its base, these bowls usually come topped with anything and everything you could possibly imagine – right from nuts to fruits, flowers and everything in between.
What did I order?
My choice from Acai & More was the Nuttylicious Bowl which came with acai berries, dates and figs as its base, was layered with granola, topped with almost every type of nut – cashews, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachio, had a little fruit in the form of blueberries, and was finished with a generous drizzle of peanut butter on top. I upped the quotient of the mix by a couple of points by requesting for additional coconut flakes as a topping.
The other item I HAD TO try was the Pink Pitaya Flamingo Smoothie. My instant attraction to this drink was courtesy the coconut milk which was one of the main ingredients in it. The other fruits that added to its creamy-healthiness included dragon fruit (pitaya), pineapple, banana, mango and the super food chia seeds.
Packaging
While this healthy mix is usually packed in a plastic container inside a bag filled with ice cubes, I decided to bring out my creativity, and plated (re-plated) the entire dish in my own bowl. TBH, it was almost like a landscaping project trying to carefully remove the toppings and put them back on!
The smoothie came in a regular hard plastic glass with a dome lid and a straw. This was wrapped in a cling to keep it cool throughout the ride.
Taste
The nuttylicious bowl was simply amazing. I am a BIG fan of pecans and hazelnuts, so they were the first to go. And they tasted so so good with the acai and dates base. With a little sweet, and a little nutty flavour mix, this made for the ideal morning or midday meal. Needless to say, the bowl was filling. And I don’t just mean it was a lot. It really made me feel so full, I had to take a good couple hours break before moving on to the smoothie.
The smoothie was refreshing and sweet. And the coconut milk flavour was simply delightful. Although it was slightly thick (like smoothies are meant to be), the wide straw was a lifesaver.

The food is delicious, pretty and healthy. I am definitely going to try out more of their variety. But the only two things I would love for them to improve on is covering a wider delivery area and having options to “make your own”.
