Keto bowls are filled with delicious keto treats; you get a lot of fat and flavor, little prep time, and the Instagramable dinner of your dreams.
We love making these keto bowls for lunch and dinner, or as an easy snack for the longer days.
Think of it as a little keto buffet and let your imagination run wild. You can even use leftovers or scrape together some items from your fridge.
When you're feeling extra creative, keto bowls are a rewarding way to try out some new flavors. We also find these bowls a super-easy way to get in more fats.

Amazingly KETO Acai Bowl
Serves: 1
Prep time: 5 minutes
Macros: Calories: 169 | Net Carbs: 8g | Fat: 10g
Ingredients:
- 1 Trader Joe’s Acai packet
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- 5-10 drops of liquid stevia, to taste
- Keto topping suggestions: unsweetened shredded coconut, almonds, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and chia seeds
Instructions:
- Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight before making your bowl. Do not shake the can. You want the solids to separate from the liquid.
- When you are ready to make your bowl, place frozen acai packet in a bowl of hot water to thaw enough to remove it from the package.
- Empty the acai into a blender. Remove coconut milk from the fridge and open the can. Notice that the top is solid and yogurt-like. Scoop the solidified coconut milk into the blender, discard liquid remaining in the bottom of the can.
- Blend acai, coconut milk, and stevia until combined. Do not over mix; it will become too thin.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, and top with optional toppings. We use unsweetened shredded coconut, almonds, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and chia seeds.
Note: If you find it is too thin, you may try blending with 1/2 cup ice, 1/2 cup frozen berries or 1/2 avocado. Unsweetened coconut yogurt may be substituted for coconut milk, as well.
If you don't get a sweet tooth on keto (many people lose theirs), fat bombs can be a bit too much. Instead, try a yummy keto bowl.
