Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1.5 bananas, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch coins
- 1.25 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; Wyman’s of Maine preferred)
- 1 acai packet (run under hot water for 5 seconds to soften)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (Almond Breeze preferred)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Acai Packet: Briefly run the frozen acai packet under hot water for about 5 seconds to slightly soften it, making it easier to blend.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the sliced bananas, mixed berries, softened acai, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into bowls. Optionally, top with additional fresh fruit, granola, seeds, or nuts for added texture and nutrition.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the acai bowl fresh to enjoy the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, use frozen bananas and berries.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk as preferred.
- Add sweeteners like honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Top with favorite toppings such as chia seeds, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or fresh fruits for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Consume immediately after blending to prevent oxidation and color loss.
