Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 unsweetened acai packet
  • ½ frozen banana (in chunks)
  • ½ cup frozen berries
  • ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder
  • 2 to ¼ cup milk of choice

Instructions

  1. Thaw Acai Packet: Let the frozen acai packet sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes until the packaging loosens enough to handle. Carefully remove it from the package and cut or break the frozen acai pack into smaller pieces to aid blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the acai pieces, frozen banana chunks, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and 2 to ¼ cup of your preferred milk into your blender.
  3. Blend Smoothie Bowl: Secure the blender lid and start blending on a low setting. Gradually increase the speed as the ingredients begin to combine. Use the blender tamper if needed to push the frozen ingredients into the blades. The smoothie bowl should be thick and creamy, so blending may take some time.
  4. Serve: Once smooth and thick, pour or scoop the acai smoothie into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a thicker bowl, use less milk; for a thinner consistency, add more milk gradually.
  • Unsweetened acai ensures no added sugar, keeping the bowl naturally sweet from the fruit.
  • Full fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and rich protein content, but you can substitute with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Use fresh or frozen toppings to add a contrasting texture to the creamy bowl.
  • This bowl is best enjoyed immediately to keep the texture fresh and vibrant.
