Ingredients

  • 2 (100 g each), slightly thawed frozen unsweetened acai puree packets
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 large, sliced frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup, plus more if needed unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup, sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds or coconut flakes
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp optional drizzle of nut butter

Instructions

  1. 1Run the frozen acai packets under warm water for 10 seconds, then break the puree into chunks inside the packet. Empty both packets into a high-powered blender.
  2. 2Add the frozen mixed berries, frozen banana slices, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and honey. Blend on high 45–75 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice, until completely smooth and thick like soft-serve ice cream. The mixture should be spoonable, not pourable; add milk only at a time if the blender stalls.
  3. 3Taste and adjust sweetness with an extra drizzle of honey if needed. Divide the thick acai base evenly between two wide shallow bowls, using the back of a spoon to create a smooth surface with a slight well in the center.
  4. 4Working quickly so the base stays frozen-cold, arrange the sliced strawberries and fresh blueberries in neat rows or clusters on top of each bowl.
  5. 5Sprinkle granola generously over half of each bowl for crunch, then scatter sliced almonds or coconut flakes and chia seeds.
  6. 6Finish with an optional zigzag of nut butter warmed slightly so it drizzles easily. Serve immediately with a spoon while the base is still frosty and thick.
  7. 7If prepping for later, freeze the blended base in containers and thaw 5–10 minutes before topping so it softens just enough to eat.
  8. 8Encourage diners to dig from the edges inward to keep every bite cold and textured.
