Equipment
- Blender
- Food Processor
- Peeler
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks and frozen
- 2 packages unsweetened frozen acai puree thawed about 1/3 of the way under warm water
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup sweet fruit juice then more as needed
- 1 serving Honey or vanilla flavored granola
- to taste Honey (optional)
- as needed Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Place bowls in freezer while preparing mixture.
- Hit acai (in sealed packages) with a meat mallet to break into pieces.
- To a high powered blender, add acai, banana pieces, blueberries, and juice.
- Blend on a moderately low speed until smooth (lower speed works better for this thickness). If needed you can add a little more juice, and stir occasionally if it's too thick to blend.
- Add bananas to food processor, cover with lid and hold processor down (it will want to jump!) then pulse in bursts to break into tiny bits.
- Add blueberries, pulse in bursts to break into bits. Add acai and juice and pulse to a smooth puree.
- Pour mixture into chilled bowls. Top with granola, fruit and drizzle with honey if desired.
Notes
- Tip 1: I use apple juice, grape juice or fruit punch blend. Only use 100% juice.
- Tip 2: Most commonly I've found these topped with bananas, strawberries and blueberries. Coconut, kiwi, raspberries, and pineapple are other good options.
- Tip 3: Nutrition is for smoothie portion only, based on 2 servings. Does not include toppings as these will vary based on what you use.
