Smoothie bowl with acai berries.

Acai Smoothie Bowls

Acai smoothie bowls are one of those things you don't know you're missing until you make them. We love making special breakfast on the weekend and these are great for that — just so good and fun to make. This recipe makes three good-sized bowls. With our family of five, we found ourselves doubling it.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1 packet frozen acai 100g / 3.5 oz
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed optional

Equipment

  • Vitamix

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to the Vitamix and insert the tamper through the lid. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, using the tamper to push everything into the blades. Keep it thick — you want it somewhere between a smoothie and frozen dessert. Pour into bowls and top with whatever you like.

Notes

About acai: Acai berries are naturally bitter, which is why they pair well with other fruit. You'll find them as frozen puree packets — not fresh.
Topping ideas: Fresh banana, strawberries, frozen blueberries, almonds, flax seeds, chia seeds, granola, coconut flakes, raisins, peanut butter or almond butter.
Key tip: Keep it thick enough so toppings rest on the surface without sinking. Don't overblend.
Storage: Best right away. Freeze in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Let thaw on the counter for 30 minutes before eating.
