Açaí Bowl
The Açaí Bowl blends frozen açaí with banana, mixed berries, and milk to create a thick, creamy base. It's typically served chilled and topped with a variety of crunchy and nutritious toppings like granola, coconut flakes, nuts, nut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and fresh fruit. The frozen fruit provides a smooth texture that stands up well to hearty toppings, offering a refreshing, slightly sweet flavor combination.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy, almond, coconut, cashew, or soy)
- 1 banana sliced, frozen
- 1 cup mixed berries frozen
- 2 acai broken into pieces (I use Sambazon unsweetened, frozen packets
- granola toppings
- coconut
- nuts
- nut butter
- chia seeds
- hemp hearts
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
- Place the milk, banana, berries, and acai packets in a high-power blender that has a tamper. You need a good blender with a tamper to make a thick acai bowl.
- Turn the blender on low and use the tamper to push the frozen fruit and acai down. Continue to blend on low until creamy and smooth. If you need to add a little more milk, you can, but don’t add too much or the mixture will not be thick.
- Divide into two bowls and top with desired toppings like granola, coconut, nuts, a drizzle of nut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and/or fresh fruit. Serve immediately.
