The berry-licious brunch staple will set you back an average of $12 at Gold Coast cafes, but Dwayne Martens, founder of the Amazonia group, said you could create your own bowl for a fraction of the cost.
“You can generally DIY a good acai bowl for $4 or $5,” he said. “This season mango, banana and cacao have been really popular toppings. I have also seen people try jackfruit.”
Mr Martens said Gold Coasters were even combining their love of acai with avocado.
“When you blend avocado into the base it makes an acai mousse,” he said.

HUMAN speech may have developed from our ape-like ancestors blowing raspberries and making squeaky, kissing sounds, scientists say.
Researchers from Durham University in Britain said language evolved from noises similar to those still made by great apes.
Dr Adriano Lameira analysed recordings of 4486 “kiss-squeaks”, which involve smacking the lips, taken from 48 orang-utans in four different wild populations.
