Ingredients

  • 2 packets frozen Acai puree 3.5 oz
  • 1 cup frozen cherries or other berries
  • 1/2 cup frozen bananas
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder optional
  • 1/2 cup  almond milk  or coconut milk, cashew milk, pecan milk, etc

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup  granola 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
  • a drizzle of local honey

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor or a blender, break up the frozen acai puree.  Add frozen berries, banana, cacao powder and 1/2 of the almond milk.  Blend adding more milk if needed.  Puree should be thick.  Divide puree into two bowls.  Divide toppings between the two bowls as desired.  Makes 2 large acai bowls.

  2. Optional toppings:  freshly cut pineapple cubes (my fav), raw cashews, goji berries, banana slices, blueberries.

Recipe Notes

Make it your own

Let your imagination run wild with your Acai smoothie bowl.  Mix up the flavors with ingredients you have on hand or flavors you love.  Here are some ideas.

  • Fresh orange juice in place of nut milk will brighten up your smoothie bowl or any type of fresh pressed juice.  I love beet juice ❤️
  • Freeze your own fruit instead of buying package frozen fruit.  
  • Make a tropical smoothie bowl with mango, pineapple, and bananas.
  • Top with natural almond or peanut butter.  
  • Add a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • Try seed toppings such as hemp seed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, etc.
