This homemade acai bowl recipe makes for a delicious breakfast any day of the week. Acai can be very tart, so blending it with banana, coconut water and mixed berries adds sweetness to help balance the flavors. Feel free to switch up the toppings depending on your preferences.
Ingredients
1 banana
½ cup frozen mixed berries
1 (3.5-ounce) package frozen unsweetened acai puree
¼ cup fat-free plain strained yogurt, such as Greek-style
¼ cup coconut water
1 tablespoon almond butter
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons dried goji berries
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
Directions
Cut banana in half crosswise; peel 1 half (set aside the remaining unpeeled half). Place the peeled banana half on a freezer-safe plate lined with parchment paper; freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
Place the frozen banana, berries, acai puree, yogurt, coconut water, almond butter and cinnamon in a blender. Blend until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides of blender as needed. Peel and slice the reserved banana half.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl; top with the banana slices, goji berries, almonds, chia seeds and hemp seeds. Serve immediately.
Tip
To toast sliced nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
