I bought a Belgian Ale kit and realized it had no grains. Is this normal? What kind of grains should I use?
 
Is it a blond ale?

Some of those kits just have extract, hops and yeast.
 
I don't know if it's a blond ale. I have everything except for the flavoring grains. My brewing store is closed so I'm not sure what to do.
 
As BigFloyd said there likely aren't any specialty grains. A number of Belgian styles may only have base malts +/- sugar. Much of the flavors come from the yeast.
 
The kit should come with an ingredients list. Specialty grains are not a requirement. What was the name of the kit and where did you buy it from?

What grains should there be? That's entirely up to the developers of the recipe.
