Ingredients

  • 1 large frozen banana chopped
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries or mixed berries
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt 0% or 2%
  • 1 coop vanilla or plain protein powder whey or plant
  • 1 ½ tablespoon acai powder
  • ⅓ cup oat milk or almond milk
  • Topping Options: granola, coconut flakes, bee pollen, chia seeds, sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries, cacao nibs, honey.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner acai smoothie bowl, add more milk. For a thicker one, add a bit more frozen banana or 1 - 3 ice cubes.
  3. Pour into a bowl and top with your choice of toppings. I love granola, banana slices, strawberry slices, coconut flakes, chia seeds, bee pollen, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Yogurt: I love plain 0% Greek yogurt, but any type should work. If vegan, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
  • Frozen Banana: You can use a room-temperature banana. Simply add 2 – 4 ice cubes to make the smoothie bowl thick.
  • Protein Powder: I used whey protein, but you can use plant protein powder or collagen instead. Collagen has 30 grams of protein per serving.
  • Freezing: You can easily freeze acai bowls for meal prep. Simply prepare the smoothie bowl without toppings, add it to a freezer save container, and freeze for up to 6 months. When you are ready to enjoy your acai bowl, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Make it Vegan: To make this acai bowl 100% vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with almond milk yogurt, coconut yogurt, or your favorite dairy-free alternative. Also, make sure to use plant protein powder.
