Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packets frozen, unsweetened acai
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 1/3–1/2 cup almond milk, rice milk, cow’s milk, or coconut water
- Honey, to taste
- Favorite toppings, such as:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Banana slices
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
- Nuts
- Seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the frozen acai packets under cold water for about 10 seconds.
- Cut open the packets, remove the plastic, and place the acai in a blender.
- Add the frozen banana and 1/3 cup of your chosen milk or coconut water.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a small splash more liquid if necessary.
- Pour the acai mixture into bowls.
- Drizzle with honey, if desired, and add favorite toppings.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep it thick: Start with the smaller amount of liquid and add more only as needed. A thicker base makes it easier to pile on toppings.
- Use a tamper if available: This can help move the frozen ingredients toward the blades without adding too much liquid.
- Customize freely: Try different combinations of berries, mango, pineapple, coconut, granola, nuts, or seeds.
- Make it more filling: Add nut butter, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or hemp seeds to the base or toppings.
- Serve right away: Acai bowls are best enjoyed immediately while the base is thick and cold.
