Bites 2013: Açaì Bowl
Think sorbet dressed to impress, in terms of texture and accoutrements. This Hawaii-popularized, high-antioxidant health treat starts with puréed frozen açaí and guarana berries, to which fresh sliced strawberries and bananas are added. Then comes crunch from granola and tasty hippie credibility from hemp seeds. (You won't get high.) It's easily breakfast or dessert. ($4.50 cup/$7.50 bowl)
