Monday is National Acai Day, so expect a variety of discounts from acai, smoothie and juice chains to start your week off right.
The modern acai bowl craze began in Brazil in the 1980s and 90s, spreading to California and Hawaii in the early 2000s. Social media helped the aesthetically pleasing snack gain traction in the U.S., and by the 2010s, it was deeply embedded in America’s modern food culture.
Acai bowls are high in antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and manganese, and are often marketed as a health food. However, the sugar content may be quite high, depending on what’s in the acai mix and the toppings.

The first National Acai Bowl Day was held in 2013 and was created by the company Sambazon, the world’s largest supplier of certified organic and fair trade acai products.
