Ingredients

Scale

Frozen Blend Ingredients

  • 2 frozen packs of acai puree (preferably Sambazon)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and strawberries
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or non-dairy unsweetened milk), divided
  • 1 tsp hemp seeds

Fresh Toppings

  • 1 fresh banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries and blueberries
  • 1/8 cup certified gluten free granola
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • Sprinkling of shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Let Acai Defrost: Remove the frozen acai packs from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to slightly soften for easier blending.
  2. Blend Base: In a blender, combine the defrosted acai puree, frozen banana, frozen blueberries and strawberries, hemp seeds, and 1/4 cup of almond milk. Blend for about 30 seconds until partially smooth. Stop blender, stir the mixture, add the remaining 1/4 cup almond milk, and blend again until thick and smooth. The consistency should remain thick for the bowl texture.
  3. Freeze Mixture: Transfer the blended acai base to a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer until ready to assemble the bowl.
  4. Prepare Bowl: When ready to eat, scoop 3/4 to 1 cup of the frozen acai blend into a bowl. Allow it to defrost for 5-10 minutes until it is soft enough to stir but still thick and smooth rather than icy or hard.
  5. Slice Fresh Fruit: While the acai defrosts, slice the fresh banana and prepare the fresh strawberries and blueberries for topping.
  6. Top and Serve: Top the thick acai base with fresh banana slices, fresh strawberries and blueberries, gluten free granola, chia seeds, and a sprinkling of shredded coconut. Serve immediately for a refreshing and nourishing breakfast.

Notes

  • Allowing the acai blend to be thick rather than runny is key to the ideal texture of an acai bowl.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any unsweetened non-dairy milk like oat or coconut milk.
  • The combination of chia seeds and hemp seeds adds extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you full longer.
  • Use certified gluten free granola to ensure the bowl remains gluten free.
  • Adjust fruit toppings to your preference for variety and flavor.
