Method
Acai base
- 1
Prepare Frozen Fruit
Break the frozen açaí packets into chunks (run under warm water briefly if stuck together) so they blend smoother.
- 2
- 3
Pulse the blender a few times to break up the fruit, then blend on high until thick and smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add 1–2 tablespoons more almond milk at a time — keep it thick like soft-serve ice cream, not runny.
- 4
Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more honey/agave if desired. If you want extra thickness and body, scrape the bowl, add the rolled oats and chia seeds, and pulse 1–2 times to incorporate.
Crunch & mix-ins
- 5
Mix the granola with any optional mix-ins (hemp seeds or crushed nuts) in a small bowl so toppings are ready to assemble.
- 6
If you prefer the granola softer, you can briefly sprinkle a few drops of almond milk and let it sit for 1 minute before using.
Toppings & assembly
- 7
Divide the açaí base between two bowls (or one large bowl). Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- 8
Arrange the reserved banana slices, fresh berries, and kiwi in rows or clusters on the açaí surface.
- 9
Sprinkle the granola mixture over one side of each bowl for crunch.
- 10
Scatter coconut flakes and hemp seeds (or crushed nuts) over the bowls.
- 11
Drizzle a teaspoon of peanut butter over each bowl (warm the peanut butter 5–10 seconds in the microwave if necessary to loosen) and finish with a light drizzle of honey or agave.
- 12
Serve immediately with a spoon so the base stays thick and cold.
