Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

• High-speed blender (with a tamper)
• Serving bowls
• Cutting board and knife

Ingredients

• 2 packets (100g each) Unsweetened Frozen Acai Puree
• 1 medium Banana (frozen)
• 1/2 cup Frozen Mixed Berries (strawberries and blueberries)
• 1/4 cup Apple Juice or Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup Granola (for topping)
• 1/2 medium Banana (sliced, for topping)
• 1/4 cup Fresh Berries (for topping)
• 1 tbsp Chia Seeds or Shredded Coconut (for topping)
• 1 tbsp Honey or Agave (optional, for drizzling)

Preparation

1. Prep the Acai: Run the frozen acai packets under warm water for 5-10 seconds to slightly thaw the edges, making them easier to break into the blender.
2. Build the Base: Break the acai packets into pieces and add them to your high-speed blender along with the frozen banana and frozen berries.
3. Add Liquid: Pour in the apple juice or almond milk. Start with 1/4 cup to maintain a thick, spoonable consistency.
4. Blend to Perfection: Blend on low speed, using the tamper to push the frozen fruit down into the blades. Gradually increase the speed until the mixture is thick, smooth, and creamy.
5. Scoop and Smooth: Scoop the thick acai base into a serving bowl, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
6. Decorate and Serve: Arrange the sliced banana, fresh berries, and granola in neat rows on top. Finish with a sprinkle of chia seeds and a drizzle of honey before serving immediately.

Chef’s Pro Tips for Perfect Results

Patience is Key: The secret to a thick, ice-cream-like acai bowl is using as little liquid as possible. It takes patience and a good blender tamper, but resisting the urge to add more liquid ensures your bowl won't turn into a watery smoothie!
