Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy, almond, coconut, cashew, or soy)
- 1 frozen banana, sliced
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 2 frozen acai packets, broken into pieces (I use Sambazon unsweetened)
- Toppings: granola, coconut, nuts, nut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, fresh fruit, etc.
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.
