Ingredients Method

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.

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Divide evenly between 4 bowls and top with your favorite toppings: granola, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, hemp hearts, coconut, honey, etc.
  5. 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.
