1 cup frozen acai puree (unsweetened)
0.5 cup liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or water) Shop
1 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew) Shop
1 tbsp chia seeds Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) Shop
0.5 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

Instructions

1 Combine the frozen acai puree, your chosen liquid, nut butter, chia seeds, and pure vanilla extract in the pitcher of a high-speed blender. If using, add the optional ice cubes at this stage for an extra thick consistency.
2 Secure the lid and blend on a low speed initially, gradually increasing to high. Process for about 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, spoonable texture, scraping down the sides as needed.
3 Once blended, taste the smoothie for sweetness. If desired, add honey or maple syrup, starting with a small amount, and blend again for another 15-20 seconds until fully incorporated and the sweetness is to your liking.
4 Pour the thick smoothie into two bowls, ensuring an even distribution. The consistency should be firm enough to hold toppings without them sinking immediately.
5 Get creative with your toppings! Garnish your acai smoothie bowls with gluten-free granola, fresh berries, sliced banana, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of nut butter. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, nutrient-packed meal.

Tips & Notes

Run the frozen acai packs under warm water for a few seconds and break them into chunks before blending. Whole frozen packs stall the blades.
Add liquid a tablespoon at a time and use the blender tamper. The bowl should be thick enough to hold toppings; too much liquid turns it into a drink.
Top with granola labeled gluten-free. Most granola is made with ordinary oats, which are usually processed alongside other grains.
