Açai Bowl Recipe

Prepare fruit

If frozen açaí comes in a block, break it into chunks. Peel and halve the banana and scoop half the avocado flesh into the blender.

Blend base

Add frozen açaí puree (200 g), frozen mixed berries (100 g), half a ripe avocado, 1 ripe banana, and 150 ml coconut water to a high-speed blender. Add 1 tablespoon honey or agave (adjust to taste). If using protein powder, add 1 tablespoon now. Pulse once, then blend on high until smooth and thick. The texture should be spoonable — add up to 30 ml more coconut water only if necessary to reach a thick, soft-serve consistency.

Check and chill

Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more honey/agave if desired. If mixture becomes too runny, add a few ice cubes or a small handful of frozen berries and re-blend briefly. Transfer the blended açaí base to a bowl and spread evenly.

Top the açaí base with 1/2 cup granola, 30 g fresh berries, and 1/2 sliced banana arranged on top.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon hemp seeds (if using). Finish with a light drizzle (1 teaspoon) of honey or agave over the toppings.

Serve immediately with a spoon. Optionally garnish with a small mint leaf for color.
