Ingredients

Scale

Acai Bowl Ingredients:

Main Ingredients:

  • 200 grams (7.05 ounces) frozen acai puree
  • 1 banana, sliced and frozen
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries

Liquid and Creamy Components:

  • 3/4 cup milk or juice of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Toppings:

  • Fresh fruit
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Granola
  • Coconut

Instructions

  1. Chill the banana, blueberries, and strawberries completely in the freezer until rock-solid, ensuring a thick and frosty consistency. Pre-frozen fruit from the store is an acceptable alternative.
  2. Place frozen fruits into the blender with liquid components, using the tamper to help break down ingredients. Pulse and blend on low speed until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy texture without large fruit chunks.
  3. Transfer the vibrant purple acai mixture into serving bowls, creating an even surface. Artfully arrange selected toppings like granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or fresh fruit slices across the top for added crunch and visual appeal.
  4. Serve the acai bowl immediately while still cold and maintain its optimal thick, spoonable consistency. Consume within minutes of preparation to enjoy maximum freshness and nutritional benefits.

Notes

  • Chill your blender and serving bowls beforehand to keep the acai mixture extra cold and thick.
  • Try alternative liquid bases like coconut water or almond milk for different flavor profiles and nutritional boosts.
  • For a protein-packed version, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt during blending to increase satiety and muscle support.
  • Use silicone molds to pre-freeze fruit chunks for easier blending and a more consistent texture in your acai bowl.
