Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If needed, add a little additional liquid to get the blender going but remember that you want this to be rather thick.

Pour into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings such as additional fruit, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, and chia seeds. ENJOY!

Notes

*This smoothie can be a lot of fruit for some people OR they may not be able to have bananas. If this is the case, frozen cauliflower is a great option to provide nutrients and creaminess in place of the banana.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Freeze Your Banana Properly 🍌
Slice bananas before freezing to create smaller pieces that blend smoothly into a creamy base without requiring a high-powered blender.
Balance Your Liquid Ratio 💧
Start with just 1/4 cup liquid and add more gradually—acai bowls should be thick enough to hold toppings, not drinkable like a smoothie.
Layer Strategically for Texture 🎨
Place heavier toppings (granola, nuts) on top last to prevent them from sinking and getting soggy in the acai base.
Toast Your Toppings 🔆
Lightly toast granola, nuts, and seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before serving to enhance their flavor and extend crunchiness.
Drizzle Maple Syrup Last 🍯
Add maple syrup right before serving and in thin drizzles across the top—adding it early causes it to sink and over-sweeten the entire bowl.
