With the inclusion of acai bowls and smoothies into our everyday meals today, you can now enjoy a sinfully-sweet indulgence without fretting about the calories.

Smoothie bowls are a great source of nutrition, they’re filling and it helps that they’re very Instagram-worthy.While smoothie bowls are available on our sunny island, they’re pretty pricey and they’re far and few between. Which is probably why the smoothie bowl craze never took off here (that and we Singaporeans LOVE our local eats!). Let’s hope that someone comes up with a cheaper alternative that is right outside our doorstep soon!
