Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 banana (sliced and frozen)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen)
- 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
- 3/4 cup milk or juice (dairy milk, soy, almond, apple or grape juice)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (optional, substitute with milk or juice if desired)
- 200 grams (2 packets) frozen acai puree (broken into pieces)
Toppings
- Assorted toppings (nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, granola, coconut, etc.)
Instructions
- Freeze your fruit: Slice the banana and place it on a small baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Add the blueberries and strawberries to the same plate. Freeze the fruit completely to ensure a smooth, icy texture when blended.
- Blend: In a large, high-speed blender with a tamper, add milk and yogurt first. Then add the frozen banana, blueberries, strawberries, and pieces of acai puree. Start blending on low speed, using the tamper to push down the frozen fruit to blend evenly. Continue blending until smooth, adding more liquid only if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
- Assemble: Pour the blended acai mixture evenly into two bowls. Top with your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, nuts, seeds, granola, fresh berries, or coconut flakes. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using a high-speed blender with a tamper is recommended to effectively blend frozen fruit without adding too much liquid.
- You can substitute the milk or yogurt with your preferred dairy or plant-based options, or use juice for a fruitier flavor.
- Popular toppings include granola, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, and shredded coconut to add texture and flavor contrast.
- Consume immediately after assembly to enjoy the best taste and texture.
