Choco – Nana Bowl Recipe

Prepare ingredients

Measure the frozen açai puree and frozen mixed berries. Peel, chop and freeze 1 banana in advance (if not already frozen). Have almond milk and honey ready.

In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen açai puree, frozen mixed berries, frozen chopped banana, and 90–120 ml almond milk. Start with 90 ml and add more only if necessary to create a thick, scoopable consistency (like soft-serve).

If you want extra sweetness, add 1 tablespoon honey or agave. Blend on high in short pulses, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and thick. The mixture should be thick enough to hold toppings without running.

Taste and adjust: add a splash more almond milk if too stiff, or a little more honey if not sweet enough.

Slice the fresh banana into 1/4-inch (6 mm) rounds. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or thin slices, depending on size.

Arrange the fresh banana slices and strawberry slices on top of the blended açai base in a visually pleasing pattern (rows, fan, or concentric circles).

Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup granola over one section of the bowl to provide crunch.

Scatter the 2 tablespoons toasted almond slices and 1 teaspoon cacao nibs over the bowl for texture and chocolate notes.

Warm the Nutella slightly to make it pourable: place the Nutella jar (or a few tablespoons) in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10–15 seconds, or set the jar in a bowl of warm water for 1–2 minutes. Stir until smooth but not hot.

Using a spoon, drizzle the warmed Nutella over the bowl in thin streams. Aim for an even, decorative drizzle across the fruit and granola.

Finish with a light drizzle of 1 teaspoon honey over the top for gloss and added sweetness.

Spoon the blended açai mixture into a serving bowl, smoothing the top lightly with the back of the spoon so toppings sit neatly.

Place the prepared fruit and sprinkle the crunchy toppings and cacao nibs as described above.

Optional: garnish with a fresh mint leaf. Serve immediately with a spoon so the bowl remains thick and cold.
