Servings: 3
Cost: $10
Equipment
- blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen acai puree slightly thawed
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup pineapple
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup plain low fat greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh Fruit
- granola
- assorted nuts
- shredded coconut
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the acai, banana, pineapple, berries, yogurt, almond milk and honey to the pitcher of a high speed blender.
- Puree until smooth. (Texture Key: Stop blending when ribbons move slowly; if the mixture pours freely, add frozen fruit and pulse until thickened.)
- Divide the mixture among three bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Refrigerate base up to 48 hrs; stir before serving. Freeze in bowls; thaw 10–15 min, re-blend splash of liquid.
Make-ahead: chill 1–2 days; freeze up to 1 month, thaw 10–15 min, pulse to refresh.
To make your acai bowl in advance, divide the smoothie base among three freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
Use unsweetened acai packets for the best color and flavor. Let the packets sit 1–2 minutes before blending so they break up easily without extra liquid.
