    As a Brazilian, I'd like to make a few observations:
    The same amount of açaí here would cost around $4. I noticed the bowl you bought doesn't seem like pure açaí; it looks more like ice cream or has too much syrup.
    I actually come from the state that cultivates 95% of the açaí. It's a cultural dish for us, traditionally eaten with cassava flour and Amazonian fish. The bowl with granola and fruits is more common in other states (I enjoy that too, though).
    Mentioning blueberries made me wonder if this is authentic açaí. Foreigners sometimes find northern Brazilian cuisine unfamiliar because it's quite different. So, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a americanized version.

    guys, just to explain, the açai you guys consume in USA it's not the original açaí which has a way darker color and it's not mixed with anything, made straight from the fruit. So doesn't taste good the way we consume in Brazil. The açaí here is expensive and has a very good taste but the price is worth it, in other states we also have another way of consuming açaí which is with sun-dried meat and tapioca flour.

    Açaí is a Brazilian berry most consumed in the northern region, the Amazon forest region, but in there açaí is a bit different, less "creamy" and more "soupy" and they eat it as an accompaniment (Eat with fried or cooked fish and cassava most commonly). It got popular across the whole country when they started selling it as an alternative fitness icecream-like food that you can add berries and cereals and whatever you want (But people just add icecream, nutella, heavy milk, so they just f*ck# d it up lol). It is indeed VERY healthy and you should eat it everyday if possible. But people usually mix it with syrup to make it at least have a taste, since açaí is tasteless (People say it has earthly taste), so it makes it less healthy then it should be. Awkwardly once you start eating it you just can't stop and want to try different combinations, and even if it initially tastes like earth, it got better as you eat it. Maybe just like beer or coffee.

I even make my own granola sometimes by cutting the nuts, adding oatmeal, date honey and salt and then baking it.
