Acai Bowls
Servings: 2 generously
Ingredients
- 2 packets frozen acai puree break it into pieces first to make it easier on your blender
- 1 frozen or fresh* ripe banana cut into pieces or a heaping cup of frozen mango chunks
- 1 large handful frozen or fresh* blueberries strawberries, mango or peaches
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice or apple juice or almond milk*
- Topping suggestions: granola sliced bananas, fresh berries, coconut, chopped nuts, cacao nibs
Instructions
- Add acai, fruit and juice to a blender and puree until smooth, but thick. A Vitamix does this very easily, but if you have a standard blender you'll just have to scrape down the sides every so often. Divide between two individual bowls and add toppings of choice. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Frozen fruit will give you a better texture and make it more like soft serve ice cream.
**fruit juice will make the acai bowl a little sweeter than almond milk but the almond milk makes it taste a little creamier. If you use almond milk, taste it before serving and if necessary, sweeten with a little raw honey or add a pitted date or two to the blender and puree.
**You can add your favorite protein powder to make it a more complete breakfast.
