Acai Bowl Recipe


  • Author: Alexandra Craciun
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen sliced banana
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup frozen strawberries
  • ¾ cup preferred milk or juice – dairy, soy, almond milk; apple or grape juice
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or use more milk or juice if preferred
  • 200 grams (2 packets) of frozen acai puree – broken into pieces
  • Toppings – fruit, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, granola, coconut flakes, or any other toppings of your choice.

Instructions

  1. Freeze fruit – Slice all the fruit (minus the blueberries, since they are already small) and place them on a plate lined up with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can freeze them as usual by placing them in a zip-lock bag and sucking the air out. Put the plate or bag in the freezer and let them harden completely.
  2. Make the smoothie. After the fruits have frozen, take them out of the freezer. Then place them together with the acai in a blender bowl. Set your blender on low and blend, blend, blend – until the mixture is smooth. Add liquid when necessary.
  3. Serve: Take the mixer out of the bowl and place the blended mixture in two bowls. Add desired toppings – in this case, peanut butter. Drink it as soon as you finish assembling it – while it has the ideal consistency and freshness – and hasn’t reached the oxidation phase.

Notes

  1. Pre-freeze the fruit you will use to ensure the thickness of the cream.
  2. Please be sure to look for acai that doesn’t have added sugars.
  3. You can personalize your bowl with your favorite toppings and bases, so knock yourself out! Here are some fun acai bowl toppings you might enjoy:
  • Bee Pollen – for extra crunch and subtle sweetness.
  • Edible Flowers like violets, pansies, or rose petals can add a beautiful pop of color and delicate flavor.
  • Cacao nibs – for a crunchy texture and a rich deep chocolate flavor
  • Hemp Seeds – for a nutty flavor and a little crunch to your acai bowl
  • Chia Seeds – to create a fun and unique texture in your acai bowl when they absorb some of the liquid and become gelatinous
  • Goji Berries – to add a tangy flavor to your acai bowl
  • Nut Butter such as almond, cashew, or peanut butter
  • Toasted Coconut Flakes – for sweetness, nuttiness, and crunch!
  • Unexpected fruits like pineapples, pears, peaches, or avocados.
