Açaí Bowls at Serenity Now

Millie moved to Glasgow last summer, and for YEARS I had been wishing for a pal to explore this city's foodie scene with – thank goodness friends find each other like we did. While visiting my Grandpa (who turned 90!!) a few weekends back, I spent some time meandering the west end with this little treasure. We share an affinity for oat flat whites specifically made with Oatly, porridge and now, (I'm extremely late to the party), açaí bowls. So we went to Serenity Now! 

Serenity Now is very Glasgow: turquoise and pink, plants everywhere, sriracha in place of ketchup... AND they serve chocolate and mint tea.

I love a good merch corner (although it's rare I ever find any merch I actually like).

We ordered two acai bowls topped with strawberries, chia seeds, rainbow coconut, peanut butter and granola. They were freezing cold and delicious, and I knew I could make one just as good (if not better, soz,) at home. 

As soon as I got back to Wales I bought some acai powder  (it's expensive but the supposed health benefits justify this) and made my own smoothie bowl. My recipe: 1/2 banana, 1 cup of frozen berries, 1/4 water and 1 tsp acai powder. I love excessive amounts of banana, peanut butter, cacao nibs and desiccated coconut on top. 

Completely plant-based, Serenity Now has a huuuuge offering, catering to all tastes and dietary types. Unfortunately, it is temporarily closed, as are most restaurants and cafes at the moment, but I'm keen to try the fried chicken and waffles (and basically everything else on the menu) when they're back up and running!
