Check out my order for the family: 

All my acai bowls came with the right additional toppings well packed into their small containers and they even thrown in an ice pack to keep my Acai bowls and fruits fresh. They also arrived on time within the hour's time slot.

I ordered 2 of their medium sized specialty bowl and 1 DIY medium sized bowl. We added plenty of fruits for our order because we love our fruits and wanted more variety. If you are sharing with your family, you can order more bowls and top up a few additional types of fruits to share. 

   

Berry Berries - 
Special Mango Acai Base, with Granola, Blueberry, Raisin & Almonds. (Photo before additional toppings were added)

I had very high expectation for this bowl because of their "special mango acai base" but I couldn't really tasted any mango on this bowl. I wish that they could have a stronger mango taste and larger chunks of granola rather than granola flakes, overall this was a satisfying bowl when topped with additional fruits. There was a mixture of tangy, sweet and sour notes.

This bowl came with a chunk of chai seeds all sticking together. The coconut flakes were surprisingly good as it gave a nice texture and fragrant to the acai bowl. The pumpkin seed gave the acai bowl a nice crunch and the bananas were nice. It is on a sweeter side. Its no wonder their signature bowl as it is packed rich with fruits and toppings. 



DIY Medium Acai Bowl -
Fully customizable with 3 of your favorite toppings, and the choice of 1 drizzle. (Please note that you cannot add on additional fruits if you have selected this bowl)

Lastly, I tried my hands at their DIY Medium Acai Bowl. For toppings, I have selected Kiwi, Blueberry, Strawberry and my drizzle choice, Nutella. We initially mistaken this for the "Berry Berries". Both bowls turned out highly similar because of the choice of my toppings, except that my version was more on the sweet and fruity side. The Nutella add-on proved to be a wise choice, because it completely changed the taste profile of the acai bowl. 

If you like, you can also order their acai puree base and fully customize them according to your own preference by adding in your own fruit, nuts, seeds, granola you can also add on your favorite drizzle like honey, Nutella or peanut butter. 


Overall Experience with The Acai Lab 

Prompt and friendly delivery, with decent tasting acai bowls, a variety of fruits to choose from, although mostly adding to the sourness of the acai bowls due to the nature of the fruits. The quantity for the medium bowls were quite little, thus more suitable for small eaters or those looking for a light breakfast or supper. Overall a good experience but we were quickly hungry afterwards.
