Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 100 grams frozen acai puree
- 1 ripe banana (preferably frozen)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup almond milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Optional Variations
- 1 scoop protein powder (for protein boost)
- 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter (nut butter swirl)
- 1/2 cup spinach or kale (green twist)
- 1/4 cup mango, pineapple, or coconut flakes (tropical infusion)
- Maple syrup or date paste (vegan sweetener alternative to honey)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Base: Slightly thaw the frozen acai puree to make blending easier. Place it in a blender along with the banana and almond milk to start forming a thick, velvety base.
- Blend until Smooth: Pulse the ingredients until fully combined and creamy. Add almond milk gradually to achieve a spoonable, thick consistency but avoid making it watery.
- Pour and Add Toppings: Transfer the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Generously decorate the top with fresh berries, granola, and chia seeds for contrasting textures.
- Sweeten if Desired: Drizzle honey, agave syrup, or your preferred sweetener over the bowl. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve fresh to experience the creamy texture and vibrant flavors at their peak, providing a natural energy boost.
Notes
- Freeze banana chunks beforehand to keep the bowl thick and creamy without dilution.
- Layer toppings artistically to enhance visual appeal and texture variety.
- Use frozen fruits exclusively to maintain a cold, perfect smoothie bowl texture.
- Do not over-blend; slight chunks add interest and prevent a watery smoothie.
- Consider substituting almond milk with coconut water for tropical sweetness and electrolytes.
