Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your equipment: You’ll need a high-speed blender and a serving bowl.
- Slightly soften the acai packets: Allow the frozen acai packets to sit out for a couple of minutes to make blending smoother and easier.
- Combine the ingredients: In the blender, add the acai, frozen mixed berries, sliced banana, almond milk, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup (if desired).
- Blend until smooth: Start at a low speed to combine the ingredients, then gradually increase the speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Adjust consistency: If the mixture feels too thick, simply add a little more almond milk or a bit more frozen fruit until you reach your desired texture.
- Pour into a bowl: Once blended to the perfect creamy consistency, pour the acai base into a serving bowl.
- Add toppings: Arrange the granola, fresh fruits, coconut, nuts, and seeds generously on top of the acai base.
- Finish with drizzles: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired, and add nut butter or cacao nibs.
- Enjoy immediately: This dish is best served fresh, so dive in right away.
