Ingredients
Frozen Fruit
- 1 banana (sliced and frozen)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen)
- 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
- 200 grams (2 packets) frozen acai puree (broken into pieces)
Liquid Base
- 3/4 cup milk or juice (dairy milk, soy, almond, apple or grape juice)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (substitute with milk or juice if desired)
Toppings
- Assorted toppings such as nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, granola, and coconut
Instructions
- Freeze the Fruit: Slice the banana and place it on a small baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Add the blueberries and strawberries to the same plate. Freeze the fruit completely to ensure a thick and cold smoothie base.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a large, high-speed blender, combine the frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana pieces, broken acai puree, milk or juice, and plain yogurt. Use the blender on low speed and the tamper to push the frozen fruit down while mixing. Continue blending until the mixture is smooth, adding more liquid only if necessary to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Assemble the Bowl: Pour the blended mixture evenly into two bowls. Top each bowl with your favorite toppings like sliced banana, nuts, seeds, granola, fresh berries, or coconut. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use store-bought frozen fruit if you don’t have time to freeze fresh fruit.
- A high-speed blender with a tamper is recommended for smooth blending of frozen fruits.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add additional milk or juice while blending gradually.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences and dietary needs.
