Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1 large banana
  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1 (7 ounce) container plain greek yogurt
  • 3 1/2 ounces (1 packet) frozen acai berry puree broken into pieces (see note 1)
  • assorted toppings such as: fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, granola, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a high-speed blender, add apple juice, banana, frozen berries, yogurt, and açaí puree. Blend until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  2. Divide between 2 deep bowls (1 1/2 cups smoothie each). Arrange desired toppings over smoothie and serve.

Notes

  • Acai (ah-sigh-EE): Açaí berries are the fruit of a tropical palm tree and are dark purple in color. In the United States it is sold as frozen "smoothie packets" (that's what you want for this recipe), freeze-dried, or as a powder. The flavor is a cross between a raspberry or blackberry and dark chocolate, without the sweetness.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 2 servings, 1 1/2 cups each (3 cups total). For 4 cups total, add a second cup of Greek yogurt. It won't affect the flavor or consistency in a noticeable way.
  • Storage: Store leftover smoothie bowl covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (without toppings).
