Westchester County definitely has a strong food scene, but they could use some upgrades. Bango Bowls makes a good addition because it brings the acai fad and youthfulness to the area.
What is acai?
Acai is a berry that taste sweet and tropical. It is high in antioxidants and fiber. It also has high heart-healthy fats like omega-9 fats and calcium. When you go to a acai bowl like Bango Bowls, they usually turn it into a sort of puree/ smoothie that helps prolong the fruit’s short shelf life.
So what exactly is an acai bowl?
The restaurants will take the acai puree/ smoothie and mix it with a number of ingredients. Usually the base is granola and then the acai is put on top. What they put over that is up to you. Usually they will put some strawberries, blueberries, bananas, coconut shavings, and sometimes they will add some peanut butter or Nutella. But again, this part is up to you, which is part of the fun and adds to the experience.
What do I think?
The acai that I tasted at Bango Bowls was one of the best I’ve had to date. I think it’s fantastic for breakfast or a midday snack. I think it’s delicious, healthy and you can enjoy so many different kinds of flavors. I don’t know if it’s ideal for lunch because you might still be hungry afterwards and it is slightly expensive. In conclusion, if you are ever in Westchester and want to treat yourself to a healthy breakfast with a trendy atmosphere- you should definitely go to Bango Bowls. They also serve Poke Bowls, but I have not tried one yet. If you need to digest afterwards, check out my Pomegranate White Tea post.
