Former actress Meghan Markle, 38, has returned to Los Angeles with her husband Prince Harry and son Archie Harrison following their step away from the royal limelight. Before Meghan married Harry she ran her own lifestyle blog The Tig in which she shared travel and style tips as well as some of her favourite recipes.
While The Tig closed before Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018, some of the recipes Meghan shared are still available on the website’s archive.
Acari bowls are a healthy breakfast dish which are from Brazil.
Originating in Brazil, the acai bowl is made of frozen acai palm fruit which is pureed and served as a smoothie in a bowl or glass.
In Brazil, acai bowls are typically topped with granola, banana, and guaraná syrup.

They were all the rage when Meghan shared her recipe.
The recipe was posted on Athena Calderone’s blog EyeSwoon as well as an interview with Meghan.
Introducing Meghan, Athena writes: “What I learned about Meghan is that she has a pure love for food, travel and beauty.
“And like me, she’s a sharer of her own joys and discoveries, which is what inspired her to create The Tig.
“In her own words Meghan describes The Tig as 'any moment at its finest'. The impetus of the name comes from a wine called Tignanello.
“A sip of that wine was her initial understanding of the nuances people described while tasting wine – the notes, the layers.
Soon after the nickname, Tig was born – something that came to stand for those moments of just getting it.
As Meghan says, "It’s discovery and excitement all rolled into one.”
Asked what her breakfast routine was, Meghan said: “Acai bowl, clean cleanse shake, or a green juice.
“If I’m at a hotel I will likely order poached eggs and toast with avocado.”
Foodie Meghan shared her acai bowl making secrets too.
Here's how to make the tasty breakfast treat.
