dont let sugar scare you from eating fruit. there's a difference between natural sugar and processed sugar. your body digests processed sugar differently, which raises insulin levels
and sugar when combined with fiber (found in fruits) won't spike blood sugar like processed sugar (which is usually without fiber) and isn't harmful to the liver at all, in addition, fruit has so many good antioxidants and vitamins
Yes, people are scared to eat fruit! I'm currently reading the Medical Medium books and he mentions that the sugar from lots of fruit is actually good for the liver, not bad for us like most people in the health industry tell us. Apparently it is too much fat, toxins and parasites which actually causes all the problems. I don't know what is wrong and what is right but many people have healed from eating lots of fruit and lowering fat (even healthy fats). That is just food for thought.....
Omg thank you a lot of people don’t know this!!
Almost every time I eat raw fruit, I always get the feeling that I need to vomit afterward. Like I get to the point where I’m salivating, but I don’t actually throw up. This doesn’t happen with blended fruit tho. Anybody know why? (Also happens with raw vegetables. Cooked one r fine)
Onyekachi Okegbe you might be allergic to raw fruits. I have a friend who can also eat blended fruits or juices just fine but cant digest raw fruits
Hey Mona, I’m 5th year pharmD, and I disagree that fruit sugars should be limited and are unhealthy if you eat too much. Since fruits have such a high fiber content, any unneeded nutrients will stick to the fiber and be eliminated! So don’t worry about fruit sugar. The things we need to be worried about are cooked foods, grains, and starches which clog up our digestive systems and back up our lymphatic system, which will then result in our bodies inability to remove toxins efficiently! And this is where ALL chronic disease comes from 🙏🏼 much love!
Thank you for commenting!!! I just watched this video and was surprised and disappointed by her comments.
She is very uneducated and spreading misinformation :/ so disappointing
As a autoimmune and Lyme disease person, I could care less about your degree. She is giving out PRECIOUS information that none of you understood. She never said to cut out fruits, she said that 1 banana is enough, not 5. She says that some açai out there can have 30% refined sugar in it and blablabla. She is explaining how to make an açai bowl to get the best nutrients from the actual super fruit from Brazil without 60% sugar. Give me or any Lyme disease patient, dry fruit, fruit salad, 5 bananas, I will fall from dizyness, brain fog, inflammation!!!! Good for you if you process fruit sugar like fiber or whatever, others don't !!! I do not wish you to get sick to witness it! She is spreading extremely precious information that ignorant s, closed minded people like you cannot understand. Just like your pharmaceutical business will teach you that pain killers are great!!?? I had to find out the hard way 2 years ago to make my açai, and enjoy it making my own low sugar one...
Also, try to eat a bunch of apples with the skin, you can poop it out well? With the fiber, guess what? It s the fruit with the most chemicals out there!! If you give this to a Lyme disease patient, they will faint right away because of the toxicity.
@@carolina-zg2hh there are literally things you can add to add more volume and nutrients. When I make them I add frozen butternut squash a small amount of frozen avocado and some frozen mango pineapple and the unsweetened açaí and top it with a nut butter low sugar granola and berries and it’s still low in sugar
@@deliafuchs2138 sounds great. I eat 0 sugar. Totally cut sugar from my diet. I make my own granola, very easy, no sugar. And I also use avocados to make it thicker and not bananas, other fruits that you mentioned would still make me sick. Thanks for your comment
That is the saddest açaí bowl I have ever seen
Lindsey true
Was thinking the same thing 😫
It's so small 😭
She only eats 100 calories per day
😂😂😂😂
To all the people watching this, I want you to not care what this video says! Acai bowls are amazing and are a better choice than reg sweets. This Acai bowl is bearly any calories, please don't be scared of eating natural fruit as Jake in the comments said!! Its better then processed sugar and please ladys or gentelemen, don't be ashamed of eating more then this!! I out 4 bannanas in mine! Im sorry for disliking this video but I just don't like videos in general like this that have a tutorial like that. And its just my opionion.
The amount of scientifically illiterate people trying to claim that "processed sugars" are somehow different than any other sugar is really disappointing.
@@matthewsuttinger4179 what’s the truth?
@@Larissa-sd8uk the truth is it depends on what they use to process the sugar
You’re wrong. The body processes any sugars the same. Meaning, our Pancreas shoots out more and more insulin when you eat more and more sugar or things that turn into sugar like white potatoes, bread and pasta. There is never a reason any person should ever eat three or four bananas in one sitting. Ever.
@@BetterMe981Well, in my opinion you're also wrong. There's different kinds of sugars: Monosaccharid, Disaccharid and Polysaccharid. Mono are fructose, glucose and galactose. When ingested, they will be transorted to the blood almost immediately. The insulin will spike but you'll have digested it faster and get energy faster. But polysaccharids like starch (bread, potatoes etc.) and glycogen are digested in three steps, so it takes longer. What is better? It depends on what diet you have. Mono- and Disaccharid are not good for diabeticians. People who workout or run marathons and such need Monosaccharid before and during the workouts. By the way, I did an apprenticeship here in Switzerland in nutrition.
I have been making acai bowls for the last month for breakfast and thought I'd share my recipe even though I make it in quite an unconventional way lol I get the acai packets from Trader Joe's they are so cheap compared to other retailers and 100% unsweetened! How I make mine:
Prep time 5 mins
Chill time 15 mins
Ingredients:
1 acai packet
1 cup coconut milk yogurt (I get the individual cultured vanilla coconut milk from Trader Joe's)
Cereal/granola of your choice
Fresh fruit of your choice
Take an acai packet out of the freezer and plop it in a bowl (unopened). Then I run the hot water cycle on my Keurig over the packet and let it sit while I cut my fruit (I like berries and bananas)
Usually by the time I'm done the packet is thaw so I will pour out the water, rinse the bowl and place the thawed acai packet on the side. Add the yogurt, it's important to add the yogurt before the acai and make sure to stir so the consistency is nice and smooth.
Then open and pour your acai packet in, mixing as you go. Since the consistency will be liquidy I usually take the whole bowl and chill it in the freezer for 15-20 mins and it comes out similar to an ice cream.
After that pour some cereal or granola over and add fresh fruit! Super filling and easy to make :)
Where do I buy aci
@@jazminvaltierra2853 Trader Joes freezer section where they keep the other frozen fruit
YASS!M Trader Joe’s has the best unsweetened Acai
Betuful 👍
Jazmin Valtierra they should be at target!!
After you're finished making it, you're only allowed to smell it.
Lmao
Huh
Funny
😂😂😂😂😂
HOLLERING!😂😂😂😂
High calorie does not mean unhealthy :-)
High calorie is literally the reason to people gaining weight. Obesity leads to many diseases so yes high calorie food are unhealthy
yes it is lmao, too much calorie intake makes you gain weight, unless you’re bulking then i guess its fine but even then u eat protein high meals, not meals full of carbs.
@Mary i never said carbs were bad lol, obviously they’re not as almost all veggies n fruits are carbs, i said when u bulk u eat mainly protein high meals not meals full of carbs :)
Your tip for making or eating an açai bowl is to not add many fruits in there, nor much milk. You don't put yogurt in there, and you devilize granola. What is left? One splash of almond milk, one açai packet, and less than a banana. Is it supposed to be sustaining anyone as a meal/breakfast? It might be okay for a snack at most.
Honestly, I think that for a meal that mainly consists of fruits, it is okay to be adding multiple fruits in there. If you don't, you might not have much left to eat, as she did. Do not devilize fruits. They do contain sugar, but they are also packed with antioxidants, vitamins and some have lots of fiber (e.g. bananas), which can keep you full for a long time. I also think that if you are going to eat out, it is okay to order that açai bowl that you want. It is true that it may not be as healthy as making it at home, but it is certainly on the healthier side of foods you eat when eating out. If you really are concerned about the little sugar, the extra fruits, or the type of protein powder in your food, you might just want to eat at home instead.
I used to work at a health food bar. When making the acai bowl, we’d do 1/4 cup coconut water, 1 packet Acai, 1/2 frozen banana and 1/2 frozen mango. Fun fact: after rinsing water over the acai packet, carefully use a knife to cut packet in half. So much easier than cutting it💖 thanks for the video Doc!
What’s easier than cutting with a pair of Kitchen shears? What am I missing?
Açaí bowls *ARE* healthy.
Natural sugars are good for you, whereas processed sugar isn’t good for you.
This is an embarrassment, sorry.
Imagine making a comment that is uneducated... that is you!😂
Fruit isn't unhealthy. The fibre and water content slow the release of sugar in the bloodstream. Fruit sugar isn't the same as refined sugar. Fibre helps alot and obviously the vitamins/antioxidants.
I make them all the time. I make two servings (one for me and one for my husband) and I only use 2 acai packets, 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1 frozen banana, and almond milk. It turns out beautiful and a perfect consistency. The toppings are just half a banana per bowl, a bit of granola, chia seeds, maybe 3 strawberries and shredded coconut. Super healthy and maybe 300-400 calories per bowl.
I appreciate your comments about this video. All she was trying to say was don’t be fooled into thinking something is healthy because it tastes good and is healthy in its NATURAL form! She’s trying to teach portion control, sugar intake and variety! The lady didn’t say hers was better tasting than the mainstream versions, she just offered an alternative for those who are smart enough to accept another point of view. Smh...
@@NurseAuDream326 Smh to you. C Sasani Didn’t say anything negative about the lady’s video. How do you see it that way?
You should be counting carbs not calories
That's EXACTLY what I use on mine. Yesterday, I didn't have any chia seeds and used about 1/4 cup of Grape Nuts cereal, and it was freaking Awesome! Not sure if you've ever had them (Grape Nuts) but I used to top my yogurt with them, as they are healthier than granola, super crunchy, and have a delicious malty flavor.
I guess I can see your side on why sugar in fruit might be “unhealthy” in excess, but I have never heard a single soul say that berries are in ANY way shape or form bad for you.... I don’t understand why you didn’t top this bowl with some berries. This is like a banana açaí smoothie maybe.
Really, adding more fruit is unhealthy? Nothing wrong with sugar from fruit. Especially if you eat the whole fruit. The fruit contains fiber which slows the absorption of sugar, which prevents sugar spikes. Much better to eat an acai bowl full of fruit to curb your sweet tooth than a bowl of icecream or something.
I watched a 10 minute video for the most blandest açaí bowl.
🤣🤣🤣
early!! i love having acai bowls for breakfast during the summer, can’t wait to try this then!
💞💕💋👍🥰😘💋
As a Brazilian myself, açaí is perfect anytime! Make sure you don’t buy those with lots of bad sweetnesses because they’re unhealthy! It’s sad also they will never taste as good as the real one does
Mariana Carvalho Pereira yes! My bfs Brazilian and he whenever we’d go to places he always let me know which ones were real or fake. When I visited Brazil and they were more accessible I was in heaven, and for MUCH cheaper!
Hello! I have being reading online about acai connected to changas desease, a parasite. What do you know about this? Is the frozen version safe. I also read about not consuming it a lot for it can affect health in excess Thank you
Love that Sam Ozkural shout out!🙌🙏🏼
You’re getting absolutely roasted in the comments. I’ll stick to my natural açaí bowls. It’s okay to eat them in moderation. It’s healthier than a lot of other options for breakfast.
You added way too much milk, it looks pretty soupy!
she only had one banana... like 3 bananas is not bad eat in one sitting
@@mollycatherine1101 3 whole Bananas plus all the other fruit is a lot. at least to me it is
@@shywol6044 acai has virtually no sugar, and banana is low in sugar. I only use acai and banana in a smoothie, and top it off with fruits. My average sugar from the smoothie is only about 12 grams from the banana.
Absolutely love watching your videos!!
For breakfast, its good to add to that some greens, chia or flaxseed, a fat like avocado or i love udo’s oil and then sprinkle on top some toppings
Looks delish! I really want to try the Cacao Nibs! And, coconut! 😍
My açaí bowl: in the blender - 2 packs of açaí, 1 banana, couple oz of guaraná syrup.
Topped with blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and half banana, sometimes granola. Very healthy! Brazilian stores sellers guaraná syrup
My wife adds condensed milk on hers, I find it too sweet.
I think acai blends better in a food processor. I just add frozen banana and no liquid at all and it's nice and thick.
I blend my açaí with frozen papaya, when I don't have the frozen packs I add 2TB of the açaí powder!
@brunitute2009 I would go for papaya or pineapple. I am in Canada. What brand of açaí powder do you usually buy? Thank you! Yvette
I make it but add more stuff, I add protein powder, Flaxseed, a little yogurt, oatmeal and chia seeds. You can also add unsweetened cocoa.
I do half açaí packet, 1 banana, a few berries, and hemp milk.
I top it with a little granola, and assorted fruit.
All together that’s enough fruit for the day.
Here I am watching this video right now while eating Açaí Bowl for the very first time. Haha! I didn't like it the first bite because it's sweet, and now I have the answer 🤣 I thought of this as healthy and when I taste it, I was like nahhhh it's too sweet it's not healthy. So now I'm inspired to make my own Açaí Bowl. Thanks for sharing this video.
love this! I always help to guide my clients in the right direction with trendy foods like this as well. My friends on the other hand see açaí and think it has to be healthy!
I seen this title and listened to the intro and honestly feel so defeated. I’ve been trying so hard to find a decent breakfast that I can actually enjoy as opposed to eating oatmeal everyday and thought I found it. I understand avoiding the added sugars bc they’re usually processed, but I didn’t think I was doing my body harm by adding a variety of berries. My bowl consists of açaí, oat milk, spinach, kale, carrots, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and bananas (it’s usually at least 2 servings). I don’t eat it everyday bc açaí is pretty expensive but I eat it about 3X a week. Idk tho :/ this video honestly just made me want to go eat something super unhealthy. But thanks for sharing!
My bowl (2 servings):
I pack açaí
1 banana
1/4 cup of mixed berries
Handful of spinach/kale
6-8 baby carrots
About 1/4-1/2 cup of oat milk (or same recipe but use orange juice for smoothies).
I’ll sometimes add a bit of avocado or coconut milk to help consistency.
It’s typically the same amount of food I would eat in a standard salad.
This sounds perfectly healthy
Yes Mona, love you Queen!
so what you're saying is... I should eat a burger =/
😂😂
Very informative thank you for this!
Such a great video - I definitely used to indulge in the not so healthy açaí bowls. Now I always make them at home pretty much. I was thinking of getting the açaí powder to substitute for the frozen packets to make an açaí bowl. Do you think that would work? I just hate all the plastic wrapping 😭
Oooohhh...I have been avoiding acai for the plastic waste as well! The powder is an interesting thought.
I get the Nativas brand I believe. It tastes super fresh and a little bitter. It is unsweetened but delicious! All I do is tie it and refrigerate to keep it fresh.
The Navitas acai powder works well. More economical on Amazon vs brick & mortar stores.
i was waiting for this video because i knew that açai bowls are commonly made with a lot of fruits and they add more fruits for toppings
Thanks Mona 🙏🏿
Love this I always tell my clients that sometimes the things they think they’re doing right aren’t actually right
WAIT. YOU YOU RELATED TO JORDAN CUNNINGHAM I HAAAAAVE TO KNOW
Supar 😘Betuful
When I order them I have the naturally sweeter (per glycemic index) removed or reduced, remove the added sweeteners (often agave) and add chia. And, because I don't use "nutritive" add ons shops offer (ex, vitamin, immune, protein "boosters") because too often they aren't quality or absorbable versions. I also make acai bowls at home. I always use Sambazon zero sugar acai. It's really the best option in my area.
"what I really wanted to show you is my outfit and jewelry and I love seeing myself on camera." barf in my mouth
What do you think of collagen supplements and creams ?
Hi Dr. Mona! My fiance wants to cut out his coffee creamer (yay!), however, he does not really like my alternative. I drink my coffee with some chocolate protein powder, a little almond milk, and a tiny bit of stevia. Can you recommend a healthy alternative to vanilla coffee creamer? I was trying to fish through you vidoes but figured this might be the best option to get a response! :)
Thank you so much for sharing these great tips! It's such a healthier, more cost-effective solution to enjoying your favorite acai bowls.
Hi. Maybe you can offer a Navitas Açaí discount on the channel. Do you have the Navitas Açaí powder at Whole Foods and Nature's Fare in Canada? Thanks. Yvette
Great info! Thank you!
But- but-
They taste so good
You pfp is perf for this ahahahah
Omg I’m so glad you explained this ❤️
Don’t listen to her she make it how you want too !!!
She *is* right about the fact that they will add processed sugar to fruit and that's what people have to keep in mind when ordering or buying. Natural sugars are mostly fine. Also, the US has an issue with some of the chemicals that they use on produce and that's another concern. But otherwise, as long as you do everything in moderation, you can typically mitigate the unhealthy practices that are common in the US food industry,
hello dr mona I would like to request that you will consider doing a video on how to alkaline out gut, what it means, and how to do it best when we try to mainly eat fruit and vegetables. thank you very much!
heather garcia the idea of alkalizing the body is a myth. If you are interested in gut health I recommend doing your own research and finding peer reviewed journal articles about gut health. It is such an incredibly interesting area in dietetics!
@@cassyerbeck390 thank you so much 🙂
but where is the top from??????
Such a great video!!! Love the information and that top is beautiful on you!
not taking her advice on food or what is “healthy” or “unhealthy”
For years now I use it each day with my home brew Kombucha.
Mark WiseCarver how cool
You better start ducking because they’re going in on you 😭😭🤣🤣🙈
I make mine with either or yjr puree or the powder. I don't use fruit. I use flavor extracts, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, stevia, MCT powder.almond butter. Top with mixed nuts granola, unsweetened coconut flakes and drizzle with liquid crystal light drink mix,
Me personally, I add two handfuls of spinach or mixed greens and 1/4 cup offrozen berries mix and a tablespoon of banana and I will add sum muscle milk and I’ll top it with unsweetened coconut and blue berries and the lowest sugar and carb oat mix I can find..lol and top with honey and that normally satisfies my sweet craving for the day... Also the toppings are small amounts just for alittle decoration
This is not Acai. I know your using an Acai packet and calling it an acai bowl yet its not the traditional way of making an acai bowl. Your bowl is super watery. It's also not a rich deep purple the way acai looks. In Brasil we NEVER use milk. Acai is 3 ingredients. Usually 2 packets of unsweetened Acai, frozen banana and guarana (another brasilian fruit for taste). That's ACAI. in America you guys make it with all kinds of things added that it's no longer Acai. Acai is pure not diluted.
Sambazon is not a good brand in my opinion. It tastes so bad
@@nicolejarel5953 she didn’t mention Sambazon in her post helloooooo
@@eclaire1 I was saying she’s using Sambazon, which makes bowls bland already.
That’s why when my mom said she wants to make an açaí bowl I looked up specifically Brazilians who make it.
Thanks Markus. It's great to see the Brasilian version. Obrigada Markus.
This is a frozen banana with açai.
Most depressing bowl I’ve ever seen.
Berries and chopped pistachios are my favorite toppings 🤤
I’ve been been eating açaí bowls for a while now and I wanted to share my recipe with you all! :)
Ingredients/directions
Put 1 unsweetened açaí packet in the blender.
Frozen Banana slices, (I eyeball how much banana I put in the blender.)
Frozen strawberries: (I also eyeball how much strawberries I put in the blender too.)
Milk: (again I eyeball how much milk I put in the blender.)
And yogurt! (I put one scoop of yogurt in the blender.)
After you have all the ingredients in the blender. Blend it in the blender for one minute, (or 1 minute and 30 seconds if the smoothie hasn’t blended all the way yet.) Then when the smoothie is finished, put the smoothie in a bowl and put your toppings on (you can put any toppings you want on it!) But what I put on there is granola, mango, and strawberries.
Enjoy!❤️😋
Thank you sounds yummy
people eat açaí bowls/ smoothie bowls as an alternative to a breakfast like pancakes or something, this “too much sugar” mentality is ridiculous because this is not even catering to what our body needs. what u made looks gross and not filling for even my 4 year old sister. but to each it’s own i guess
Ma'am you're a black woman and acai by its self is a snack but can be combine with other fruit for great breakfast.....filling isn't what sustains you...quality does. Starch turns to glue in your digestive tract and causes inflammation..that's why your first meal should not be a heavy one...you meal should be something light, filling and full of energy...your midday meal should be the heaviest....don't be fooled by the big breakfast lie...
@@Emagick77 what does being black have to do with it?
@@ceciliamira1761 what does her skin color have to do with it??
Thank you, I will be making this for sure, we really do need to monitor our sugar intake, thx sooooo much for sharing👍👍👍👍
I just bought a Vitamix. I will not add plant milk. That thing better blend. I like a sorbet texture. I’ll help it with my spoon.
I for sure stay away from sugar because I'm diabetic. Thanks for this video! One thing I normally do instead of banana is use avocado because it has that rich flavor similar to banana. I call bananas and avocados "buffers" for smoothies. Btw same here with the vitamix. I love how smooth it makes things. I have a nutribullet but it's usually it I just want something quick on the run. I also add a small amount of pure stevia extract. Not the processed stuff that has chemicals and maltodextrin but comes right off the leaf. Great info!
I’ve done that and it makes them so creamy!!
What kind of depressing acai bowl is this!? I add acai, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberry, frozen kale, Spinach mix, unsweet almond + cashew milk that has protein 10g and pure Matcha from Shizuoka Japan. And just them all in vitamix nothing on top because I dont really care for granola or esthetics, not doing it for the gram just trying to stay healthy. There you get natural sugar for the morning, def more fiber than this depressing acai bowl, all the vitamins and electrolytes from the kale and spinach mix, way more antioxidants because I've added blueberry, strawberry AND Matcha. Matcha is known to have way more antioxidants than acai. The dairy free milk adds 10g protein which is a plus for anyone. I don't add banana now because it has more sugar which isn't bad, but when you're trying to tone your body you want to cut carbs. And I think people add banana for potassium, well kale has more potassium so that's the healthier option.
I love adding blueberries, mixed berries, ripple milk, walnuts, vanilla protein powder and golden kiwi! It taste amazing!!
If an Acai bowl depresses you you have bigger issues to worry about lol. It’s how i like it, take it or leave it
Hi I’d love your opinion about this smoothie I like to make if you can take the time out to help 😬 so I’m going for just more nutrition and trying to lose weight as a 27 yr old Male.
So I always add something green like baby spinach. Then I add raspberries, blueberries, flax and chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, almond milk and a little water. (Sometimes I add a little peanut butter if I want to make it a little heavier).
Do you think I’m ok with these ingredients for a healthy breakfast smoothie meal replacement?
Thanks in advance ! Hopefully hehe 😉
thats the saddest acai bowl ive ever seen...
My whole experience changed after watching this
Lol
I don’t use sugar at all because the fruit has its natural sugar and I use that açaí smoothie organic packs
Where can we buy acai berry? And how much per bottle?
what a great video
At this point I can’t eat anything
That would be great if you could do an acai chocolate latte. Appreciate for us viewers. Thanks. Have a good one!
Thanks for sharing
I would love a video on random ways to use açaí and matcha both!
I think if someone wants to go out and have an Acai bowl once in a while, I don't think a little sugar is gonna hurt you!
She is clueless natural sugar is way different from artificial manufacturer sugar obviously she dnt know the difference
@@theawakeningofjascdy just because something is ¨natural¨ dont mean is healthy. If someone have problems of diabetes or weight obviously they got to be careful. the liver converts fructouse found in fruits into triglycerides. So she is correct... we should limit our fruit intake or choose those who have low fructouse in it
Thank you Mona for the healthier options.. many smoothie shops dupe the consumer into thinking their eating healthy. I will definitely try this option,
What is your issue with sugar
As a med student I beg you, Delete this❤️
Why? She has the right information. And why should a med student know about food? You're not a food expert.
You should know that information, so you're a bad student.
@@chipower3257 actually I understand. The sugars in fruits are completely different from added sugars and synthetic sugars. There’s all types of sugar. Glucose, sucrose, fructose, cellulose. They all digest differently. This video promotes this fear of eating fruits
Well I think this person has a point. This info isn’t wrong, but it’s a little selective. It’s not showing the whole picture, and as a result, is causing people who might not know as much to be misinformed.
Dr. Mona has a full catalogue of videos where she breaks down many things, including the importance of eating fruits and that you shouldn't avoid them. So I think this is just one video where she is saying ~"hey here's an option with little to no sugar. p.s. also buyer beware when eating this out and thinking its *healthy* because it isn't always"
Thank you for this healthier version.
vitality bowls is one of the few places that uses unsweetened açaí (:
Gucab fantasetec
Hi there. Acai Berry vs Spirulina, which one is no1 for the 3rd eye? My 3rd eye is already open but i can see just small images in fraction of second. I can not see something for a long time. I want to become a super clairvoyant. So which one is better? Spirulina is to bad but I am mixing with garlic powder + Apple cider vinegar + dillweed + parsley. 1kg spirulina powder finish in 3 months but 250gr akai berry finish in 3 days. I like the akai. Thanks to anyone who can give me a good answer.
Hi Dr Mona! Is coconut sugar, cane sugar, brown sugar bad for you or having them organic only is healthy?
I dont have a vitamix can I make an acai ?
Açaí with ç and í gorgeous Dr mademoiselle. Thanks!
Refined sugar messes with hormones and sugar should always be only the daily intake. Each person has there own amount of sugar that is needed. Not everyone takes the same amount of anything. Fruits and veggies have natural sugar that is made differently and it does not count towards your daily intake.
I want some with pineapples berry n granola
You can do an acai ball with acai powder also. Pick some fruits and add the powder. =)
Is frozen food beneficial? Sounds good but think I'll just replace it with blueberries.
what about putting dried goji berries on it too?
i always buy unsweetened açaí packets!
I love açaí, but I feel nauseous after I eat it and I have no idea why. No other reactions. So I have used other frozen fruits to make the base of my smoothie bowls.
So many haters in the comments, geez. All she's saying is that some acai bowls from smoothie places contain added (i.e refined, processed, no fiber) sugar to their bowls which adds empty calories and many people don't realize that. Sometimes the sugar is added in the form of honey, maple syrup, or agave. Yes, these are technically 'unrefined' but they do not contain fiber and only add extra calories. Honey and agave are particularly sneaky because of the high amounts of fructose. Fructose in fruit is different because fruit has fiber and other nutrients so its not digested the same way as honey or agave. The point she's making is that people think they're being healthy but they don't realize how much all the extra honey, maple syrup, agave, sweetened granola, or the sheer amount of fruit (like her 4 bananas example) really adds up.
She literally said she doesn't have a problem with sugar in fruit. Where did she say people should be scared of eating fruit because of the sugar? She just advised people not to go overboard, as in, don't drink 4 bananas in a smoothie if you wouldn't actually eat 4 bananas in 1 sitting or eat 4 whole bananas in the course of a day. That's good advice. And it goes for ANYTHING, not just fruit.
Also, how is this bowl sad? She'd rather not drink the equivalent of a pound of fruit for breakfast, what's wrong with that? A lot of people don't even eat breakfast at all or just have coffee and maybe a granola bar. At least she's having something. The toppings look pretty standard too. Who gives a shit if its 'boring', it doesn't have to be Instagram Perfect to taste good or have 10 different ingredients in it to be good for you.
Fruit sugar is good and honey is good just temperance is needed but nothing is wrong with fruit sugar
Açaí bowls are so good! Thanks for the tips on making sure they are actually healthy!💜
small youtuber here;)☺️💞
If i were her i would DELETE THIS VIDEO AND RE-DO it, once she gets her facts straight with the RIGHT information.
Melanie S if i were you I’d make my own UA-cam channel sharing my own preferences, and hope people care to watch and comment. Until then, keep sharing your thoughts on the sidelines, they aren’t stopping anyone from moving forward
Mahomed m she was just saying calm down sis
Miss M how is she supposed to react to people being rude?
@@DrMonaVand you didn’t have to be a bitch damn
@@DrMonaVand Thought on sidelines that give accurate information are actually more helpful than your main video. Have you ever heard anyone complain “omg I’m so fat because I eat too much fruits”? Your fear of fructose in fruits is ridiculous and moronic.
What can you use besides bananas? I’m allergic and it’s so hard to find a good substitute. I have a lot of food allergies especially fruits 😓
you can sub with frozen mango 😊
Avocado also it will still have a creamy taste.
Spinach in the mix too
Yes I’m gonna go to the shop and ask what açaí they use, lol
Loaded with sugar?
It's funny how people are saying it's looking sad, but she's right about Acai Bowls having too much fruit and hence, too much sugar, even if we can digest fructose better. I've been making even sadder looking acai bowls just with Acai Powder, Stevia and Chia Seeds and to me, they're great that way, so hers is definitely looking waaaay prettier than mine, lol. Don't be all about looks with these bowls 😁
This isn’t a meal then. She demonizes fruit and the sugar in she demonizes granola so what’s left.
@@deliafuchs2138 Then eat it as dessert if it's not a full meal? I never said this was a full meal, I said my acai bowls (that I did over a year ago) were sadder-looking. I never said I ate them as a full meal, I actually ate them as a healthy snack and they meet their purpose: to eat something I liked in-between meals. If you like sugary meals/snacks then good for you, anybody can eat whatever they want, just as I ate my Acai Bowls not full of fruit and granola-less, just because I wanted to do it
Tip: use half an avocado in stead of a banana, you'll have a lower sugar intake, texture is the same and you don't taste the avocado
And add some frozen raspberries to make it less bitter
