Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 banana, sliced and frozen
- 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen
- 1/2 cup strawberries, frozen
- 3/4 cup milk or juice (dairy milk, soy, almond, apple, or grape juice)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or substitute with milk or juice if desired)
- 200 grams (2 packets) frozen acai puree, broken into pieces
Toppings
- Assorted toppings such as nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, granola, and coconut
Instructions
- Freeze Your Fruit: Slice the banana and place it on a small baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Add the frozen blueberries and strawberries to the same plate. Place the entire plate or tray into the freezer and let the fruit freeze completely to ensure a thick and creamy texture when blended.
- Blend: In the bowl of a large, high-speed blender equipped with a tamper, add the milk and plain yogurt first. Then add the frozen banana slices, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, and broken-up frozen acai puree. Start blending on low speed using the tamper to push the frozen fruit down and mix evenly. Continue blending on low until the mixture is smooth and thick, adding a little more liquid only if necessary to help the blades move.
- Assemble: Pour the creamy acai mixture evenly into two bowls. Top generously with your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, nuts, seeds, granola, fresh berries, and shredded coconut. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh texture and flavors at their best.
Notes
- Using a high-speed blender with a tamper makes it easier to blend thick frozen fruit mixes without adding too much liquid.
- You can substitute plain yogurt with additional milk or juice if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference, trying different nuts, seeds, and fruits.
- If you don’t have frozen berries, fresh can be used but the texture will be less thick and creamy.
- This bowl is best enjoyed immediately after blending to maintain freshness and texture.
