The smoothie bowl trend of 2016 is still going strong, continuing to fill our Instagram feeds with eye-catching (and mouth watering!) snaps of smoothies and delicious Acai bowls. A breakfast blended with native South American Acai and bursting with juicy berries and fruits, we’ll take ours topped with granola, please! Cosy up on a chilly day, or refresh after a hot hike – the takeover is still strong in Hong Kong, so we’ve scoped out the best bowls to dig in to, no matter the time of day!
Loved by smoothie fanatics all over the 852, Genie Juicery‘s addition to their growing menu is one to try!
Their smoothie bowls ($80) are made with raw fruits and blended superfoods, catering to all dietary restrictions with zero-added sugar! 100% organic vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free (if you prefer); choose from three different bases (Chocolate for Breakfast, Green Scream and Berry nice) and opt for a selection of four different topping. We’re huge fans of cacao nibs, banana chips, coconut shreds and their gluten-free granola!
