Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (100g) frozen açaí puree, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and chunked
- ½ cup (120ml) almond milk or any plant-based milk
- ¼ cup (30g) granola (oats, nuts, cinnamon mix preferred)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes, toasted or raw
- Fresh berries (optional, e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Wash fresh berries if using and set aside.
- Add frozen açaí puree, banana chunks, and almond milk to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth but thick. Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time if too thick.
- Check consistency; it should be creamy and scoopable like soft-serve ice cream. If too runny, add frozen berries or ice cubes and blend again.
- Pour the blended açaí mixture into a serving bowl, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle granola evenly over the top, followed by coconut flakes. Add fresh berries if desired.
- Lightly drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bowl if extra sweetness is preferred.
- Serve immediately to keep granola crunchy and açaí cold.
Notes
Use frozen açaí packets for best flavor and texture. Adjust thickness by adding almond milk or frozen banana chunks. Toast coconut flakes lightly for nuttier flavor. Add granola just before serving to avoid sogginess. Variations include adding protein powder, swapping nuts for seeds, or mixing in tropical fruits.
