Ingredients
  

  • 2 packets frozen acai
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen berries (I used half blueberry and half strawberry)
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt
  • additional toppings: granola, hemp, fresh fruit, nuts, coconut, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Make sure your fruit is fully frozen. If it's not, you can still use it, but you will have a thinner consistency in your acai bowl.
  • Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high power until smooth. Try to stir and blend again before adding any additional liquid to keep the mixture as thick as possible.
  • If you are making these ahead of time, you can divide the smoothie mix evenly between airtight freezer-safe containers and place them in the freezer. When ready to use, thaw them on the counter for 15 minutes or place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before adding fresh toppings.
  • Divide evenly between 4 bowls and top with your favorite toppings: granola, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, hemp hearts, coconut, honey, etc.
  • Enjoy fresh and serve immediately. If they get too runny, you can place them in the freezer for a few minutes to firm back up.
