Ingredients
Scale
- 100g (3.5 oz) frozen acai puree (unsweetened)
- 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup (75g) fresh mixed berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup (30g) granola (choose your favorite crunchy variety)
- 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: take the frozen acai and banana straight from the freezer. Wash and drain berries well. (about 5 minutes)
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen acai pack, frozen banana slices, and almond milk. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy. Adjust almond milk or banana slices to achieve desired thickness.
- Check texture: the acai blend should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright, similar to soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the acai mixture to a medium-sized bowl using a spoon or spatula and smooth the top lightly.
- Arrange fresh berries evenly on top. Sprinkle granola, toasted coconut flakes, and chia seeds over everything. Drizzle honey or agave syrup if desired.
- Serve immediately to keep toppings crunchy.
Notes
Use frozen fruit straight from the freezer to keep the bowl thick. Pause blending to scrape down sides for even texture. Avoid over-blending to prevent melting. Arrange toppings in sections or patterns for better texture and appearance. Freeze acai blend separately if prepping ahead; do not freeze assembled bowl. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and substitute honey with agave or maple syrup.
