Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 packet frozen unsweetened acai puree (about 100g)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings
- Granola
- Fresh banana slices
- Fresh berries
- Chia seeds
- Coconut flakes
- Nut butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen acai puree, frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using. These ingredients create the base of the smoothie bowl with a rich, thick texture.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture until smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed for an even consistency. The texture should be spoonable, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
- Pour into Bowl: Transfer the blended mixture into a serving bowl, ensuring the surface is smooth and even to prepare for toppings.
- Add Toppings: Arrange your favorite toppings such as granola, fresh banana slices, fresh berries, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and nut butter on top in an aesthetically pleasing way.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the acai bowl right away for the best flavor and texture, as it can melt or lose thickness if left to sit.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, spoonable consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream.
- Adjust the amount of almond milk to reach your preferred thickness.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of Greek yogurt to the blender.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free, but always check your toppings for gluten ingredients if needed.
