I Can AƧai Clearly Now Bowl
I Can AƧai Clearly Now Bowl
My favorite berry will always be one that can be turned into wine. Despite this glaring shortcoming, aƧai is slowly inching its way to the top with a frozen ice creamāesque preparation and assortment of healthy and customizable toppings. Plus, it has a pretty purple hue, which gives me yet another excuse to wave my gay flag loud and proud so that the homophobes in the back can see and taste it. The fact that itās served in a bowl is the cherry on top, as we basics have come to appreciate. Donāt let this stop you from adding an actual cherry, though, which can convince you, if only for a second, that itās an ice cream sundae and not something thatās surprisingly healthy for you.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
BASIC BASICS
AƧai berries are a Brazilian superfruit native to the Amazon. They taste like a cross between blackberries and unsweetened chocolate. Whole berries are hard to find, but you can buy frozen aƧai puree, aƧai powder, and aƧai juice.
