Ingredients

  • 2 packets Acai packets
  • 1 whole Banana
  • 60 ml Coconut milk
  • 15 ml Honey
  • 60 g Granola
  • 50 g Strawberry
  • 30 g Blueberry
  • 15 g Coconut flakes
  • 5 g Chia seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove acai packets from freezer 5 minutes before blending to slightly soften. Break into chunks.

    💡 Use frozen acai packets - they should be rock hard. Slightly softening makes them easier to blend.

  2. 2

    Add acai chunks, frozen banana, and a splash of coconut milk or almond milk to a high-speed blender. Blend until thick and smooth - should be thicker than a smoothie.

    💡 The secret is the blender - use a high-speed blender and don't add too much liquid.

  3. 3

    Add honey or maple syrup to taste. Blend briefly to incorporate.

    💡 The mixture should be thick like soft serve - too thin and it won't hold toppings.

  4. 4

    Pour thick acai mixture into a chilled bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.

    💡 Freeze your bowl beforehand - this prevents the acai from melting immediately.

  5. 5

    Arrange toppings in rows: sliced fresh fruits, granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey or peanut butter.

    💡 Layer toppings strategically - fruits in the center, crunchies around the edges.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with a spoon. Eat before it melts!

    💡 High-fat milk or coconut milk creates creamier texture than low-fat options.
