Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Açaí Base
  • 7 ounces frozen açaí purée 2 (3.5-ounce) packets, sweetened or unsweetened
  • ⅔ cup milk of choice dairy or plant-based, or substitute orange juice
  • 1 large banana sliced, preferably frozen
  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, or combination
Optional Toppings
  • ½ cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • ¼ cup diced mango or kiwi
  • ¼ cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts almonds, walnuts, or cashews
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes sweetened or unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional drizzle

Method
 

  1. Remove frozen açaí packets from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for about 2 minutes. While sealed, gently break the purée into chunks to make blending easier.
  2. In a high-powered blender, add milk (or juice), broken açaí pieces, banana slices, and frozen mixed berries.
  3. Blend on high until smooth and thick, using a tamper if needed. Stop and scrape down the sides as necessary. Add extra liquid only 1 tablespoon at a time if required. The mixture should resemble soft-serve ice cream.
  4. Spoon the thick mixture into chilled serving bowls and smooth the surface.
  5. Arrange toppings in rows or clusters, starting with fresh fruit, then granola and nuts, finishing with coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before blending. For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey. For a low-sugar version, choose unsweetened açaí and skip added sweeteners. For a tropical variation, substitute half the berries with frozen pineapple. Always use fully frozen fruit and minimal liquid for the thickest texture.
