Ingredients Needed

• Frozen Acai Packets: The easiest way to make these acai bowls is using frozen acai packets!
• Mixed Berries: I used frozen mixed berries here. You can use any berries you’d like!
• Banana: Adding a banana will thicken things up and add some extra sweetness!
• Honey: Honey is great as a natural sweetener. If you prefer, you can use maple syrup or agave syrup!
• Nut Milk: Use whichever nut milk you like best, or add regular milk if you prefer! You can opt for a different liquid like a splash of coconut water, too!
• Toppings: The fun thing about homemade acai bowls is all of the toppings! I recommend topping them with a variety of fruits and crunchy toppings. Some of my favorites are coconut granola, fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, bananas and coconut flakes!

How to Make Acai Bowls

1. Combine Ingredients: Add the acai packets, banana, berries, honey and nut milk to a high powered blender.

2. Blend: Blend for 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is combined.

3. Serve: Serve with your desired toppings and enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Use frozen fruits! To keep the thick consistency, frozen fruits are best. If you use fresh berries, you might want to add a few ice cubes to the mix to keep it cold and thick!
• Use the liquid sparingly! Be careful when adding the liquid, and don’t add too much too quick. I used about 1/4 cup, but you can start with a little less and add more as you go!
• Add extra flavors! Your acai smoothie bowl should be made exactly how you like it. You can add different flavors like nut butters, mango instead of banana, or even a splash of vanilla extract for a depth of flavor!
• For added nutrition, add a teaspoon of chia seeds, flax seed or hemp hearts to this acai bowl recipe!
