Ingredients
- 2 (100g) frozen acai puree packs (unsweetened)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries preferred)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut water)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Toppings:
- 1/2 cup fresh sliced bananas
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/4 cup fresh berries
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Slice the frozen banana and measure out your frozen berries. If your acai packs are super hard, run them under warm water for 5 seconds to soften slightly.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a high-powered blender, add the frozen acai puree, frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, almond milk, and honey. Blend on low, using a tamper or stopping often to scrape down the sides, until thick and smooth (about 1-2 minutes). The texture should be creamy and scoopable, not runny.
Step 3: Assemble the Bowl
Spoon the acai mixture into a chilled bowl. Arrange fresh banana slices, granola, fresh berries, coconut, chia seeds, and nut butter (if using) artfully on top.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Enjoy your Perfect Acai Bowl right away while it’s cold and frosty!
Notes
- Add the liquid a tablespoon at a time for a thicker bowl—thin with an extra splash if needed.
- If your blender struggles, let the frozen fruit thaw for 2-3 minutes before blending.
- Use ripe, frozen bananas for natural sweetness and perfect creaminess.
Variations
- Tropical Twist: Replace mixed berries with frozen mango and pineapple.
- Peanut Butter Acai Bowl: Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter into the blender for a nutty boost.
- Green Acai Bowl: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens and nutrition.
Required Equipment
- High-powered blender or food processor
- Knife & cutting board
- Bowl & spoon for serving
Storage Instructions
- Enjoy your acai bowl fresh for the best texture and flavor.
- If you need to prep ahead, blend the base and freeze in an airtight container (up to 1 week). Thaw for 15 minutes, then stir and add toppings before serving.
Serving Recommendations
- Pair with a hot mug of coffee or herbal tea for a cozy breakfast combo.
- Serve alongside whole grain toast or scrambled eggs for a hearty brunch.
- Top with more seasonal fruit or toasted nuts for extra crunch.
Pro Tips
- Freeze your serving bowl beforehand for a longer-lasting, frosty texture.
- Use as little liquid as possible; this keeps your bowl thick and spoonable, not soupy.
- Get creative with your toppings—try cacao nibs, berries, bee pollen, or even a drizzle of dark chocolate!
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use powdered acai instead of frozen packs?
- Yes! Use 2 tablespoons acai powder. Increase frozen fruit and liquid slightly to maintain thickness.
- How do I make it vegan?
- Simply use agave or maple syrup instead of honey, and a plant-based milk.
- Can I use regular milk or juice?
- Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy) or even a splash of orange or apple juice for a different flavor profile.
