Ingredients

Acai Base

  • 2 teaspoons acai berry powder
  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or a natural sweetener of your choice

Strawberry Blend

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup cold water (or sparkling water for fizz)

To Serve

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: fresh strawberries, citrus slices, or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Acai Base: Add the acai powder to a glass and pour in the cold water or coconut water. Whisk or stir well until the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add Sweetener: Mix in your preferred natural sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, stirring until evenly combined with the acai base.
  3. Blend Strawberries: In a blender, combine the sliced fresh or frozen strawberries with water and blend until smooth. Pour this strawberry mixture into the prepared acai base.
  4. Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass with ice cubes and then pour in sparkling water if you would like a light, fizzy finish to your refresher.
  5. Combine and Garnish: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly. Garnish with fresh strawberries, citrus slices, or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount or type of sweetener.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup or another plant-based sweetener instead of honey.
  • Frozen strawberries work well when fresh ones are not in season, and they also keep the drink chilled.
  • To make it more hydrating, use coconut water instead of plain water for the acai base.
  • If you prefer a non-fizzy drink, use cold still water instead of sparkling water.
