Qty	Ingredient
100 g 100 g	Frozen Unsweetened Acai Puree
1 large 120 g	Frozen Banana
0.5 cup 75 g	Frozen Mixed Berries

2 Method

Step 1. Run the frozen acai packet under warm water for 5 seconds to slightly soften the plastic, then cut it open and break the puree into chunks and place in a high-speed blender.

Step 2. Add the frozen banana pieces, frozen mixed berries, and the almond milk to the blender base.

Step 3. Start the blender on the lowest speed. Use the tamper tool to continuously push the frozen ingredients down toward the blades. This is crucial for achieving a thick, sorbet-like consistency without adding too much liquid.

Step 4. Increase the speed slightly once the mixture begins to move, blending only until completely smooth and no large fruit chunks remain.

Step 5. Transfer the thick acai mixture into a chilled serving bowl.

Step 6. Artfully arrange the granola, sliced fresh strawberries, and chia seeds on top. Serve immediately while frozen.

·
Use a high-speed blender with a tamper to ensure a thick consistency without having to add extra liquid.
·
Always use frozen fruit rather than fresh fruit for the base to maintain a sorbet-like texture.
·
Chill your serving bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to blending to prevent the acai from melting too quickly.
·
Prep all of your toppings before you start blending the acai so you can assemble and eat it immediately.

? FAQ

Can I use acai powder instead of frozen puree?

Yes, but you will need to add more frozen fruit (like extra banana or ice) to achieve the same thick texture, as the puree provides the bulk of the base.

How do I make my acai bowl even thicker?

The secret is using the absolute minimum amount of liquid. If your blender is struggling, add liquid one tablespoon at a time and keep using the tamper.

Is this acai bowl recipe vegan?

Yes, this recipe is naturally vegan. Ensure your granola is honey-free if you follow a strict vegan diet.

Can I store a leftover acai bowl in the fridge?

It is not recommended, as it will melt into a liquid smoothie. If you must store it, put it in the freezer and re-blend it with a splash of milk later.
