Big Island Bowls

Great food truck for breakfast or a healthy/​refreshing lunch. The size of the bowl is very generous and it is super filling for an entire meal.
The base is made of an acai «smoothie» like blend with apple juice or almond milk. The toppings includes a variety of fruits (I.e. Strawberries, bananas, blueberries, etc.), granola, coco bits, coconut and others. The coconut was very fluffy and fresh! I really enjoyed this option.
Also, the employee told me that he picked the blueberries himself from a farm the day before they were selling! They were so fresh and yummy!!!

I don’t often eat at food trucks. I feel they are often cliché and only build on previous exploited items like Asian fusion, cheese, or bacon. However while visiting my cousins in the St. Augustine area I found a phenomenal find in Big island bowls. I believe food should feel local, fresh, and unique whether it is or isn’t. I also believe that good food comes from people who are passionate about it. You can tell that this is one of those places because I went 4 times! I went so much I thought I would have to convince the cute blonde working there I was just there for the food, but instead greeted with «Hey Kentucky! Back again?» Yes… yes I am. The bowls are bursting with sweet and tart flavors, color, texture and absolutely zero guilt while enjoying the combination. I’ve had so many great meals while visiting, but this is the one that stood out, and it’s because I felt like I wanted to enjoy the day more after eating it versus taking a nap. It was basically vacation in my mouth! Can’t wait to go back next year!

Great addition to the Jax Food Truck Food Court. I don’t eat out as much as Unilocal makes it seem (giggle), but when I do its a mix between not the healthiest and über healthy.
At home, fruit, veggies and organic items are typical my go to. Sugary stuff, store bought junk food, etc have no place in my home so what better than having the same type of meal a few minutes from my office?!
1. Customer service was awesome. I engaged in interesting convo with the gentleman (friend of the owner) during my visit (their first visit at JFTFC). From the food court to healthy eating options, I felt like I reconnected w/​an old friend (***all my fave trucks have awesome customer service).
2. I chose the children’s size Shaka bowl, which was a nice portion for lunch. All ingredients were fresh, cold and naturally delicious. The acai mix had a nice frozen yogurty, smoothie texture and just the right amount of almond milk, so it didn’t overpower the other flavors. Not sure if their granola is homemade (prob not), but the portion was spot on, if you need a little weight to the meal.

First off It’s Big ISLAND bowls. Phone and fat fingers don’t mix. This truck is making it’s Jacksonville Debut tonight at Jaxson Night Market. They are from St. A and serve up some pretty tasty bowls of healthy stuff. I did order a Shaka bowl that entailed some acai frozen yumminess with granola, strawberries, and shaved coconut. It was served cold and had a nice creaminess to it. Then you got some crunch of the granola. It all worked out well even if it was healthy. I normally shy away from healthy but I will definitely find this truck again.
