Ingredients

ACAI BOWL

  • 2 packets frozen unsweetened acai (organic when possible // I used Sambazon unsweetened)
  • 1 1/2 medium ripe bananas (previously sliced and frozen)
  • 3 Tbsp peanut butter powder (or nut butter of choice)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, almond, rice or other non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup spinach (organic when possible // I buy mine washed + freeze it) (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mixed berries (optional // for color)

TOPPINGS optional

  • 1/2 medium banana, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds/hemp seeds
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add frozen acai, frozen banana, peanut butter powder (or butter), and the lesser amount of dairy-free milk (1/4 cup as original recipe is written) to a high-speed blender. If adding spinach, add at this time. I only added berries for purple color and recommend leaving them out for best flavor.
  • Blend on low, using a wand to push the fruit down. Smoothie bowls will be thick, so it takes them longer to blend. Continue blending, scraping down sides as needed, adding only as much dairy-free milk as it takes to help it form a thick smoothie texture.
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more peanut butter powder (or butter) for peanut butter flavor, banana for sweetness, or berries for fruity flavor. The flavor should resemble a peanut butter banana smoothie, as the açaí is quite subtle in flavor and slightly tart.
  • Divide between two serving bowls and garnish with desired toppings. I went with coconut, berries, banana, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and peanut butter.
  • Enjoy immediately - best when fresh! Freeze leftovers up to 2 weeks. Thaw to enjoy.
