Ingredients
Scale
- 100g (3.5 oz) frozen acai puree, ideally unsweetened
- 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
- 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries), fresh or frozen
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup (75g) fresh berries for topping
- 2 tbsp coconut flakes, toasted lightly if desired
- Chia seeds or granola (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure 100g (3.5 oz) of frozen acai puree and slice one medium frozen banana into chunks. Wash and pat dry fresh berries if using; no need to thaw frozen berries.
- Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen acai, frozen banana, 1 cup (150g) mixed berries, and ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk. Blend on high until smooth and thick, about 1-2 minutes. Add almond milk in small increments if mixture is too thick.
- Sweeten: Taste the base and add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Pulse blend briefly to mix.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the smoothie into a serving bowl. Arrange fresh berries on top, sprinkle 2 tablespoons coconut flakes, and add optional chia seeds or granola for crunch.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
Use frozen acai puree and frozen banana for the best creamy, thick texture. Toast coconut flakes for 2-3 minutes in a dry pan for extra nutty flavor. Serve immediately to prevent melting. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice cubes as needed. Substitute oat or rice milk if avoiding nuts. Fresh banana with ice cubes can replace frozen banana but may affect texture.
