If you’re looking for a nourishing and beautiful way to begin your day in Carrick-on-Shannon, look no further than the new açaí bowl at Honestly Farm Kitchen.
Known for their commitment to organic, locally sourced ingredients and sustainability, the team at Honestly Farm Kitchen has taken breakfast to an entirely new level with this vibrant, flavour-packed bowl of goodness.
🍇 What’s in the Bowl?
This isn’t your average açaí bowl. Each portion features:
- House-made açaí, coconut & mixed berry smoothie base – creamy, rich in antioxidants, and naturally sweet
- Carraig Rua maple pecan granola – crunchy, flavourful, and made right here in Ireland
- A generous spoonful of peanut butter – adding protein and healthy fats
- Fresh slices of apple, pear, and banana – bringing a refreshing, juicy contrast
- Leaves of fresh mint – subtle but uplifting in aroma and flavour
- Beautiful edible flower petals – a true visual treat that makes you pause before the first spoonful
🍴 Taste & Presentation
The first thing that strikes you is the presentation: this bowl is genuinely Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. The vibrant colours, layers of textures, and those delicate edible flowers create a plate that feels both artisan and inviting. The portion size is spot on — enough to leave you satisfied, but never sluggish.
Each spoonful is a harmonious mix of smooth, crunchy, fruity, nutty, and refreshing elements. The açaí and berry base is creamy and tart-sweet, and the peanut butter swirl brings depth and richness. The Carraig Rua granola adds a satisfying crunch, while the fruit slices keep the whole experience light and refreshing.
🌱 Health Benefits
This açaí bowl isn’t just pretty and tasty — it’s a genuine powerhouse of nutrition:
- Açaí berries are high in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
- The coconut milk and peanut butter provide healthy fats that keep you feeling full and support heart health in extreme moderation of course!
- The mix of berries delivers vitamin C, fibre, and immune-boosting properties.
- Bananas provide potassium for heart and muscle health, while apples and pears offer soluble fibre for digestive balance.
- The mint isn’t just decorative — it supports digestion and adds a refreshing finish.
- Granola made with nuts and seeds gives sustained energy and supports gut health, especially when made naturally as it is at Honestly Farm Kitchen.
For anyone looking to eat more plant-based, nutrient-dense, or simply more mindfully, this açaí bowl checks every box.
