"Better life through better food. Backyard Bowls opened their first doors in Santa Barbara back in 2008, and have since grown to open 4 locations, including one in LA. Backyard Bowls offers one of the best acai bowls around, using only organic, sustainable, and locally produced ingredients in all of their menu items. I recommend Diego’s Power Bowl which has a base of acai, banana, strawberry, hemp protein, and peanut butter hemp milk, topped with banana, hemp seeds, granola, and honey. It’s healthy, tasty, and filling - the regular bowl size is definitely enough to fill you up, and if you want a smaller portion, the Berry or Island Bowl in the kids size are a great option!" - Amanda Proudfit
