Catering

Aloha foodies! When munching on some poke and contemplating life’s great mysteries, it’s important to look back and appreciate the origins of this traditional Hawaiian dish. While you may enjoy your poke bowl with ahi tuna and an assortment of delectable toppings, you’d be surprised to find that poke bowls looked completely different in years past. Below, we discuss the historical origins of one of our signature staples here at Kaia Bowls, where you can find the best poke bowl in Clearwater Beach.

Made With Reef Fish

The origins of poke can be traced back to pre-colonial Polynesia, where fishermen would spend their days catching fish that they would later chop up into chunks and marinate with

whatever spices were on hand. The fish of choice was usually a reef fish as opposed to the ahi tuna or salmon of today. Fun fact: the state fish of Hawaii is a reef fish by the name of Humuhumunukunukuapua’a.

It wasn’t until the late 1800s that reef fish were replaced by ahi tuna as the dominant ingredient. And it was later still, in the 1970s, when poke bowls began to gain in popularity, journeying from kitchens to supermarkets and, finally, to the mainland.

Sold in Supermarkets

Even with the growing love of Poke, it wasn’t until the past few years that the cultural impact of poke bowls could be felt in the mainland United States. Before that, poke was unceremoniously sold in Hawaiian supermarkets as a pre-marinated dish sold by weight — a far cry from the beautiful poke bowls that so often grace our Instagram page. Don’t forget to tag your bowl with the hashtag #EatKaiaBowls when you visit us!

We. Love. Fish. We love it so much that we’ve made several signature dishes that incorporate ahi tuna, shrimp, and salmon. We also love nutrition, which is why we want to talk about the many benefits of having fish in your diet and dispel some common concerns regarding this delectable treat. There’s no reason you can’t treat yourself to the best poke bowls in Clearwater Beach: the Ono Bowl, Apikai Bowl, and Kilauea Bowl from Kaia Bowls.

Protein With Fins

Fish is incredibly nutritious for you, but don’t take our advice. Take the advice of the FDA and EPA. They note that fish-friendly diets are “part of a healthy eating pattern” with potential heart health benefits. It may also lower the risk of obesity, which is important for those trying to make gains, stay fit, and live a lifestyle they can be proud of. A key component of that is eating the right amount of protein. Fish is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Tuna, for example, is “an almost pure-protein food” while remaining low in fat and calories.

In addition to being packed with protein, fish provides healthy omega-3 fats, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, selenium, zinc, and iodine. In fact, fish contains “more vitamin B12 and Vitamin D than any other type of food.” Instead of grabbing an energy drink shot, maybe you should try a bite of our Apikai Bowl. This fresh salmon bowl comes with avocado, scallions, pickled and crispy onions, mango, edamame, and jalapeño to give it that extra kick.

Keeping Track of Mercury

Mercury levels are the chief concern for people with a fish-centric diet. The FDA and EPA advise that adults eat two to three servings of fish from their “Best Choices” list. Children under four should eat only one ounce of fish per serving. They can eat four ounces by age 11. Both shrimp and salmon are on the “Best Choices” list, so have at it. By keeping these numbers in mind, there’s no reason why you can’t regularly enjoy the best poke bowls in Clearwater.

Moms and Their Little Mackerels

Despite what you might have heard, yes, you can eat fish while pregnant or breastfeeding. In fact, our friends at the FDA and EPA recommend it. “Fish and other protein-rich foods have nutrients that can help your child’s growth and development.” Pregnant and breastfeeding women still need to watch out for mercury in their diets and their children’s diets, but it’s clear that fish is a healthy choice that can be enjoyed by everyone.

The South Tampa “Bowl Boom” has spread to nearly every corner of Tampa Bay’s sprawling sun-drenched community. Whether you’re coasting down Kennedy Boulevard on a public e-scooter or taking a quaint stroll down Clearwater Beach with loved ones, there’s never been more places to satisfy your craving for fresh flavors, powerful antioxidants, and guilt-free dining.

The burgeoning bowl industry is empowering foodies to eat foods that provide them with a much-needed energy boost and support their overall wellness. Needless to say, as the best acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach, we’re ecstatic to see more and more people embracing the delightful treats we serve each and every day.

At Kaia Bowls, our customers expect their ingredients to be fresh and unperturbed by excessive processing. We believe that the fewer hands that touch our ingredients, the fresher they will be when served atop our acai, pitaya, and spirulina bowls. Putting a smile on our customers’ faces is our ultimate goal, and we know that this can only be achieved through a combination of fresh ingredients, top-tier service, and a willingness to go above and beyond for every customer!

Next time you decide to grab an acai bowl, whether in person or via delivery, take a second to consider whether or not your bowl is meeting these five important criteria.

1. Is My Bowl Fresh?

When you purchase an acai bowl, you want to be certain that you’re treating your body to the best ingredients available. Seriously, what’s the point of eating an acai bowl if the ingredients are lacking in nutritional value or have been sitting in a freezer for weeks or months? Plus, fresh fruits taste better than frozen ones!

2. Will the Serving Size Satisfy My Appetite?

Although most restaurants sell acai bowls for around $10, what you receive for your money can be inconsistent. If you want to be filled up, not every restaurant offers the same gracious serving sizes as Kaia Bowls. We recognize that balancing serving size and quality of ingredients is something that a lot of restaurants find challenging, but we’ve managed to boost both at a price that is 10-20 percent less than some of our competitors.

3. What Are My Options?

At Kaia Bowls, we offer more than just acai bowls. As an authentic Hawaiian restaurant, we also serve pitaya, spirulina, green (kale), bananaberry, coconut, chia pudding, and oatmeal bowls. Hungry for protein? We also serve signature poke bowls featuring ahi tuna, fresh salmon, shrimp, or chicken. We find that many first-timers and acai enthusiasts alike want to let their taste buds explore new flavors. Our staff is always happy to provide suggestions based on your dietary needs and preferences, too!

4. What Can I Add to My Bowl?

Is there anything more exciting than the moment you’re asked if you want any additional add-ons for your fresh creation? The best acai bowls in Clearwater, FL, allow you to break the mold and let your unique palate flourish with a wide variety of add-ons, including hemp seeds, raw cacao nibs, almonds, granola, agave/honey, coconut flakes, chia seeds, almond butter, peanut butter, chocolate/vanilla protein, white chocolate, pomegranate seeds, nutella, and more!

5. Do They Care About Their Customers?

Fostering a AAA customer experience is one of the most important aspects of restaurant ownership. When you walk through the doors of Kaia Bowls, you can count on being greeted with a smile. All of your questions will be answered by a knowledgeable employee, and you will be served promptly. If you’re vacationing in Clearwater, stop by for an energizing snack; we’re happy to point you in the direction of the best locales and attractions in the area!

Next time you venture out for an acai bowl, keep this list in mind to ensure that you are served generously with the freshest ingredients available! If you want more options, more add-ons, and superior customer service, visit the best acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach, Kaia Bowls!

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

Growing up in Waikiki, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole embraced Hawaii’s unique musical identity at a young age. The slack-key guitars and ukuleles that define Hawaiian music allowed Israel to create simple yet powerful melodies that touched the hearts of people all over Hawaii, and later, all over the world. He is best known for hispopular rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World’, which has been featured in several commercials and movies including 50 First Dates, Charmed, Scrubs, Glee, and more. Sadly, Israel passed away in 1997, leaving behind an enduring legacy of musical innovation and the honor of being the first Hawaiian artist to be certified platinum for his album Facing Future. Next time you’re eating poke bowls in Clearwater, dedicate a bite to this inspiring musician.

Pairs with: Apikai Bowl. Featuring fresh salmon, generous slices of avocado, a sprinkling of scallions, and a perfect mix of mango and jalapeno, the Apika Bowl is a perfect mix of traditional poke and modern culinary innovation. This combination reminds us of Israel’s unique sound, which reinvigorates qualities of traditional Hawaiian music for today’s listeners.

Keali’i Reichel

Keali’i Reichel was born and raised on the island of Maui, where he developed an earnest love of traditional Hawaiian chanting. He fuses this love with the sounds of contemporary Hawaiian music to bridge the gap between the younger and older generations. His first album, Kawaipunahele, was released in 1994. He reached the top spot on Billboard Chart’s Top World Music Album in 2003. Every second of Keali’i’s music bathes the listener in tranquility, making it the perfect accompaniment for those who are looking to spend the day eating poke bowls on Clearwater Beach. Fun fact: Keali’i Reichel has opened for many top artists, including LeAnn Rimes, Celine Dion, and Sting.

Pairs with: Ono Bowl. Keali’i’s use of traditional Hawaiian chanting always puts us in the mood for an Ono Bowl. With traditional ahi tuna, nori, avocado, grape tomato, cucumber, and more, the Ono Bowl is a veritable cornucopia of some of Hawaii’s best flavors, and Keali’i’s music is the perfect accompaniment.

Jake Shimabukuro

Like many young and aspiring musicians, Jake Shimabukuro started out playing small gigs in cozy coffee shops around Honolulu. It didn’t take long for word to spread about the ukulele prodigy’s masterful performances. Soon, he was signed by Epic Records and introduced to the world at large. His videos have generated as many as 16 million views on Youtube and he has appeared on popular television programs like Good Morning America and The Today Show. He has collaborated with many popular artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffet, Ziggy Marley, and Cyndi Lauper.

Pairs with: Hana Bowl. If you’re looking for some Hawaiian flare in your diet, but you aren’t ready to commit to fresh seafood, the Hana Bowl is your best option. Its delicious combination of grilled chicken, carrots, pineapple, sweet peppers, and crispy beets is anything but ordinary, which is why it pairs so well with Jake’s catalogue of generational ukulele jams that expand the boundaries of Hawaiian music.

If you’ve already decided to grab an acai bowl for dinner, congratulations! You have chosen wisely. Acai bowls are packed to the brim with vitamins and antioxidants. In a rare combo, acai bowls are not just good for you, they are also delicious. With every bite of purple bliss, you’re getting a taste of what many compare to that of a rich blackberry with a chocolatey aftertaste. As tasty as an acai bowl is, you’re going to need something to wash it down with, which is why we’ve listed some healthy drink choices that can be found at Kaia Bowls, our acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach.

Kombucha Is King

Just like our acai bowls, our kombucha drinks are making waves. This fermented tea is a crisp and refreshing drink that’ll make you go, “ahhh” in these hot summer months. Its tart taste pairs perfectly with any of our acai bowls. Try it with a Wipe Out acai bowl; its banana, pineapple, and kiwi ingredients make for a mouthwatering match. Or you could go for a more delectable pairing with the Hono Lulu bowl; imagine washing down a bite of chocolate protein, banana, strawberry, hemp seeds, peanut butter, and granola with a draft of kombucha.

We’re proud to serve Mother Kombucha at our acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach. But if that’s not convenient enough for you, we also have kombucha on tap so that you always have access to a fresh cup of this probiotic powerhouse.

Fruit Blend Frenzy

This is another guilt-free, delicious treat that we love to treat ourselves to here at Kaia Bowls. We recommend the Finastic fruit blend for first-timers. This mix of strawberry, banana, greek yogurt, orange juice, vanilla, and honey is to die for. If you need a little extra pep in your step, the Average Joe has you covered with its combination of coffee, banana, vanilla, peanut butter, and almond milk. It’s a must before the morning rush.

All in all, we offer 13 fruit blends to choose from. When you take into account our additional add-ons, such as white chocolate, Nutella, and pomegranate seeds, you have a mind-boggling combination of fruit blend items to choose from. We could sit here and go through them all, but we think they all pair well with an acai bowl. Try them all and decide for yourself which fruit blend reigns supreme.

Come for the Bowls, Stay for the Drinks

Our acai bowls make for an incredible meal, but it’s not complete unless you wash it down with a tasty beverage. Our kombucha and fruit blends are just a few of the drinks we offer here at Kaia Bowls. We also sell CBD-infused wellness water and Natalie’s Natural Lemonade.

There’s no denying that one of the best things about acai bowls is the extra ingredients you can add to personalize your bowl and unlock new flavors. Trust us, we’ve pretty much perfected the art of customization at our acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach, and we’re keen to share some of our discoveries with you!

The fundamental ingredients in any acai bowl are pure acai, granola, and a smattering of fresh fruits. You can’t go wrong with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and mangoes, but that’s just for starters. Once it’s time to customize your bowl with add-ons, the real fun begins. Today, we’re covering our five favorite acai bowl add-ons for foodies who love to experiment with interesting flavor combinations.

Next time you visit Kaia Bowls, the premier acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach, snap a pic of your beautiful bowl for Instagram with the hashtag #EatKaiaBowls. Don’t forget to include a list of your favorite add-ons so your friends can indulge in your delicious, nutritious, antioxidant-rich experiment!

1. Hemp Seeds

If you want to decorate your acai bowl with a yummy and nutritious add-on that makes people say, “Hey! What is that?!”, hemp seeds are the way to go. Hemp seeds add a satisfying crunch to any acai bowl. Plus, they’re high in beneficial fats and protein and low in carbohydrates.

2. Coconut Flakes

As the number one purveyor of acai bowls in Clearwater, FL, we know how to satisfy the taste buds of beachgoers who enjoy spending time at the top beach in America. Part of our secret is ensuring that we have coconut flakes available every day for our customers to top off their acai bowls. Coconut flakes contain a superb source of manganese, iron, calcium, potassium, and more. But our favorite thing about coconut flakes is the way they transform every bowl into a snack worthy of the beach.

3. Honey

Our friends, the bees, are constantly hard at work producing delicious honey, so we have to include their amazingly sweet product on our list of the best acai bowl add-ons. If you have a sweet tooth, there’s nothing more satisfying than a generous spoonful of honey being drizzled over your acai bowl. Try it out. You won’t “bee” disappointed.

4. Raw Cacao Nibs

Who doesn’t like chocolate? Not only is it delicious, it’s packed with beneficial antioxidants and fiber. At Kaia Bowls, we’re guilty of being chocoholics, but we use raw cacao nibs to ensure that flavor and nutrition are accounted for in equal measure. There is even some science behind our obsession. Cacao is known to tickle your neurotransmitters into producing good vibrations that help you feel uplifted and energetic.

5. Almonds

Almonds are one of the most popular foods on the planet for health-conscious foodies. As far as nuts go, almonds are the cream of the crop in terms of flavor and health benefits. Almonds can help you mitigate the effects of low-density lipoproteins (“bad” cholesterol) and reduce your risk of heart disease. If these health benefits don’t interest you, the iconic sweet and nutty flavor profile of almonds are sure to do the trick.

Although spirulina has been recognized by health enthusiasts as one of the “world’s most popular supplements” for it’s bountiful nutrients and antioxidants, many people have yet to experience the delightful flavor of spirulina firsthand. In some ways, spirulina is reminiscent of acai. Both foods are healthy, flavorful, and primarily served in chilled bowls packed with additional ingredients like bananas, strawberries, chia seeds, raw cacao nibs, and more.

Despite sharing many of the same qualities, spirulina has been unable to match acai step-for-step as healthy eating trends continue to go viral. You might even say that spirulina is a somewhat rare commodity, which is why Kaia Bowls, the premier acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach, is proud to not only serve spirulina bowls, but also educate our customers about the extensive health benefits of this scrumptious blue superfood.

Fruit, Vegetable, or Something Else Entirely?

There’s one main reason why many people have never heard of spirulina — it’s neither a fruit nor a vegetable. Spirulina is actually a cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. It’s safe to eat and has been utilized as a food source for centuries, mainly due to its 60 percent protein content and excellent source of beta-carotene, gamma linolenic acid, and various vitamins and minerals. As a result, you would be more likely to find spirulina in your local health food store, rather than a grocery chain, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in flavor!

How’s It Taste?

It can be hard to define the flavor of raw spirulina since it’s flavor profile is largely neutral. That said, when combined with other fruits, spirulina takes on the sweetness of its accompaniments, which leads to some truly fascinating flavors. At Kaia Bowls, spirulina bowls have been an instant hit. Some of our customers have even remarked that the taste of spirulina reminds them of cotton candy! Plus, the bright blue hue of blended spirulina gives it an attractive appearance that simply begs to be eaten. After all, when food is visually appealing, it tends to taste better.

What Comes in a Spirulina Bowl?

Our spirulina, pitaya, and acai bowl restaurant in Clearwater Beach serves three signature spirulina bowls designed to satisfy even the pickiest palate. Each bowl includes spirulina, banana, pineapple, vanilla protein, coconut milk, and granola. You can also customize your own spirulina bowl, but we recommend starting with one of the following:

Blue Hawaii: blueberry, strawberry, hemp seeds, chia seeds, honey
Slim Shady: banana, pineapple, chia seeds, peanut butter
Backwash: banana, blueberry, strawberry, coconut flakes, nutella

Whichever bowl suits your mood, there’s no doubt that you’ll enjoy indulging in one of our delicious spirulina bowls. If you find acai accessible and pitaya pleasurable, you’re sure to find spirulina spectacular!
