What is Starbucks acai?

A Starbucks acai may be a refresher drink or an acai bowl.

Starbucks offers two types of Strawberry acai refresher drinks and an acai bowl on their menu. Before we answer the question of what is Starbucks acai, let’s explore what acai is in the first place.

Acai is a small fruit with a delicious and tropical taste. It looks like a grape and it is harvested from acai palm trees found in Brazil. These fruits have a very short shelf-life and hence are not sold in fruit form. Instead, they are sold in a pureed form and can be found in the freezer sections of grocery stores.

Starbucks acai uses acai in its pureed form for their drinks and bowls. In the refresher drinks, they use a strawberry-flavored acai base, which is pureed and blended in with the rest of the ingredients.

The Starbucks acai bowl is known as the vegan superberry acai bowl. It is made of smooth fruit puree of acai, banana, apple, raspberry, and blueberry and a topping of toasted coconut, snappy pepitas, and granola.
