Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 100g packets frozen Acai puree I prefer no added sweetener, but either is fine
- ¼ cup fruit nectar or fruit juice plus more as needed
- ¾ cup frozen berries see note below
- ½ medium banana about 2 ounces, frozen or unfrozen, feel free to use the whole banana if you like
- Toppings, as desired See note below. May include chopped fruit, nuts, granola, chia seeds, hemp hearts, nut butters, coconut chips etc.
Instructions
- Let frozen acai packets sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Do not let them thaw all the way or your mixture might be too runny.
- Add fruit juice (or other liquid) to blender.
- Add both frozen fruit and banana.
- Blend the mixture, stopping to stir if necessary, until it reaches the consistency of a thick smoothie, that holds its shape a bit when scooped with a spoon. Add tiny amounts of liquid a little at a time, if needed. *I find when I use frozen banana I need a little more liquid than I do when I use unfrozen banana.
- Divide mixture into 2 bowls (or one large one) and top with desired toppings.
Notes
Fruit Juice: You can really use any liquid you want, including water, or even milk or plant milk. We like to use a fruit juice, and more specifically a fruit "nectar" which tend to be more flavor concentrated than a standard juice. You can find them in the can in the juice or latin section of the grocery store, or any carton of fruit juice will also work just fine.
Frozen Fruit: Experiment with any frozen fruit you like! My favorite is wild blueberries and raspberries. I like that they keep the vibrant color and the flavors blend well with Acai. The measurement doesn't have to be exact, I've found I like about 3/4-1 cup frozen berries.
If your mixture is too runny at the end, feel free to add more frozen fruit to thicken it up. Or drink it as a smoothie!
