Description

A refreshing and nutritious Acai Bowl recipe perfect for a quick breakfast or healthy snack. This recipe combines frozen acai, banana, and your choice of milk or coconut water, blended to a smooth consistency and topped with fresh fruit, granola, and seeds for added texture and flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 packets frozen, unsweetened acai
  • 1 large frozen sliced banana
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup almond, rice, or cow’s milk, or coconut water
  • Honey, to taste

Toppings

  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Bananas
  • Granola
  • Shredded coconut
  • Nuts and seeds


Instructions

  1. Prepare acai: Rinse the acai packets under cold water for 10 seconds to loosen from the plastic. Cut open the packets carefully, remove the acai pulp and place it into the blender.
  2. Add frozen banana and liquid: Add the frozen sliced banana and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of your chosen milk or coconut water into the blender with the acai. Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
  3. Sweeten if desired: Taste the blended mixture and add honey to sweeten, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  4. Serve with toppings: Pour the smooth acai mixture into bowls and decorate the top with your favorite toppings such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, bananas, granola, shredded coconut, nuts, and seeds.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened acai packets to control sweetness and sugar content.
  • Frozen banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness.
  • Adjust milk or coconut water quantity depending on desired thickness.
  • Choose toppings based on preference and add texture and nutrients.
