Breakfast Criminals is a movement with a goal to inspire people in every part of the globe to start every day with love, one acai bowl at a time.

It all started with a broken heart… I was recently single, in between jobs and at a career crossroads. That’s when I found a lonely little ceramic heart bowl (as Valentine’s day was creeping up). I took it as a sign, got the bowl for myself, and made it a point to start every day with a little more love and kindness.

Around the same time I went to Hawaii, where I tried my first acai bowl. The colorful smoothie bowl packed with superfoods was delicious, and made me feel light and energized–I was instantly hooked. When I came back to New York, I tried a few acai bowls at juice shops but they all seemed to be missing something. I realized that there is no place that made açaí bowls the way that they’re meant to be made–with soul.

Breakfast symbolizes home, nourishment and a new beginning, every day.

I started making my own acai bowls in my heart bowl, and posting the pictures and recipes on Instagram. The message of starting every day with love resonated with thousands of people. And my life took a new direction.

Today, Breakfast Criminals is a Shorty award-nominated digital platform and offline experiences that merge food and mindfulness.
