Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl (Print Version)

Antioxidant-rich acai base topped with fresh fruits, seeds, and granola for a colorful, nutritious breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 packets (7 oz) frozen unsweetened acai puree
02 - 1 medium ripe banana, sliced and frozen
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
04 - 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
05 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

→ Toppings

06 - 1/2 banana, sliced
07 - 1/4 cup fresh mixed berries
08 - 2 tablespoons gluten-free granola
09 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
10 - 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
11 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a high-powered blender, combine frozen acai puree, frozen banana, almond milk, frozen berries, and sweetener. Blend on high speed until smooth and thick, scraping down sides as needed. Mixture should be thicker than regular smoothie consistency.
02 - Pour blended smoothie base into two serving bowls, spreading evenly with spoon to fill bottom completely.
03 - Artfully arrange desired toppings over smoothie base in each bowl, combining fruits, seeds, granola, and nut butter as preferred.
04 - Serve bowl immediately with spoon while smoothie base remains thick and cold.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It transforms your morning into a burst of color and energy without any actual cooking involved.
  • You can change the toppings every single time and never get bored.
  • The thick, spoonable texture makes it feel like a treat, not just another smoothie.
  • It keeps you full longer than you'd expect from something this light and fresh.
02 -
  • If you add too much liquid, you'll end up with a smoothie you have to drink, not eat, and the toppings will just sink.
  • Freezing your banana ahead of time is non negotiable. A fresh banana won't give you that thick, scoopable texture.
  • Don't skip scraping down the blender sides, or you'll have chunks of unblended acai hiding at the bottom.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas in slices, not whole, so they blend faster and don't strain your blender motor.
  • Use less milk than you think you need. You can always add more, but you can't take it back once it's too thin.
  • Toast your coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2 minutes before adding them. The flavor becomes nutty and deep, and it's worth the extra step.
