Açai Base

Method

Açai Base

1

Prep fruit

Peel one banana. Reserve half (about 1/2 banana) for topping and break the other half into chunks for the blender.

2

Add frozen açai puree (200 g), frozen mixed berries (100 g), banana chunks, 120 ml almond milk, and 1 tbs honey/agave to a high-speed blender or food processor.

3

Pulse on low first to break up the frozen fruit, then blend on high in short bursts until mixture is smooth but thick — it should be spoonable, not pourable. If too thick, add 1–2 tbs (15–30 ml) more milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen berries or a few ice cubes.

4

Taste and adjust sweetness with up to 1 tbs more honey/agave if desired.

Toppings (included: banana, granola + two toppings of choice)

5

Spoon the blended açai into a serving bowl, using a spatula to get all the mixture out of the blender. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

6

Arrange the reserved banana slices along one side of the bowl.

7

Sprinkle 3/4 cup granola in a stripe or cluster on the bowl, leaving space for the two additional toppings.

8

Add 1/4 cup fresh berries (topping 1) and 1 tbs shredded coconut (topping 2) in the remaining space. If using different toppings (e.g., sliced kiwi, cacao nibs, or sliced almonds), place them similarly so the bowl is visually balanced.

9

Scatter 1 tsp chia seeds and/or 1 tsp nut butter over the top if using.

Garnish / finishing

10

Finish with a small mint leaf and a light 1/2 tsp drizzle of honey or agave. Serve immediately with a spoon.
