Smoothie Base

Method

Smoothie Base

1

Measure and prepare

Measure 4 oz of frozen açaí puree (usually one standard açaí packet) and break it into chunks if solid. Slice the banana if not pre-sliced. Measure 1 cup frozen mixed berries and 1 cup coconut water.

2

Combine in blender

Add the açaí, frozen mixed berries, banana, and 1 tablespoon agave nectar to a high-speed blender. Pour in 1 cup coconut water.

3

Adjust texture

Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth. If the mixture is too thick or the blades struggle, add up to 1/4 cup more coconut water and blend again. If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add up to 1 cup ice and pulse until smooth.

4

Taste and sweeten

Taste the smoothie and add more agave nectar to taste (start with an additional 1/2 teaspoon). Blend briefly to incorporate any added sweetener.

5

Serve

Pour the smoothie into a 16–20 oz glass or bowl. Sprinkle optional chia seeds and shredded coconut on top for garnish.

Optional Add-ins & Garnish

6

If using chia seeds for texture/nutrition, stir 1 teaspoon into the finished smoothie or sprinkle on top. If using shredded coconut, lightly toast in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes over medium heat for extra aroma, then sprinkle as garnish.
