Frozen berries and acai blend into a thick purple base, topped with banana, crunchy granola and coconut for a spoonable breakfast.
A small amount of liquid keeps an Acai Bowl thick enough to hold its toppings. Break the frozen puree into pieces before blending and use the tamper or pause to scrape the jar rather than pouring in more juice.
Choose unsweetened acai packets so the banana controls the sweetness. Assemble the toppings first; the frozen base softens quickly once it is blended.
Method
Set out two bowls and prepare the sliced banana, vegan granola and coconut flakes for topping.
Break the frozen acai puree into pieces. Blend with mixed berries, frozen banana chunks and orange juice, stopping to scrape as needed, until thick and smooth.
Spoon into bowls immediately and arrange the sliced banana, granola and coconut flakes over the surface.
