Homemade chocolate granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Under these conditions, it will stay crunchy for two to three weeks.

Yes, part of the granola bowl needs to be prepared the day before. The yogurt base in a bowl can rest in the refrigerator overnight.

What is an acai bowl?
The acai bowl takes its name from the acai berry, a small, intensely purple fruit native to Brazil. Unlike a granola bowl, which is based on yogurt or fromage blanc, the acai bowl consists of a thick, chilled puree made by blending frozen acai berries with a little plant-based milk.
This purplish base is then topped with various ingredients: crunchy granola, banana slices, shredded coconut, or sunflower seeds. Rich in antioxidants, açaí is known to support the immune system and provide sustained energy.
