Finish & Optional Extras
Method
Acai Base
- 1
Prep frozen fruit
Remove açaí purée from packaging if needed and break into chunks. Measure frozen berries and frozen banana so they blend evenly.
- 2
Blend açaí base
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen açaí purée (12 oz), frozen mixed berries (1 cup), frozen banana (1 cup), 1/2 cup of the almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey or agave. Start on low, then increase speed, using a tamper or pausing to scrape and push ingredients toward the blade. If mixture won't move, add additional almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it blends into a thick, spoonable smooth consistency (like soft-serve). Total blending time ~45–90 seconds.

Granola
- 4
Preheat and mix
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup chopped almonds, 2 tbs pumpkin seeds, 2 tbs shredded coconut, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/8 tsp sea salt. Stir to combine.
- 5
Bind & bake
Whisk together 2 tbs maple syrup and 1 tbs melted coconut oil then pour over the oat mixture and stir until evenly coated. Spread mixture in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
- 6
Cool
Remove from oven and let granola cool completely on the sheet — it will crisp as it cools. Break into clusters when cool.
PureBerry Toppings
- 7
Prepare fresh berries
Rinse blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries gently and pat dry. Slice strawberries thinly. Measure out 1 tsp freeze-dried berry powder and 1 tbsp chia seeds.
- 8
Combine berry powder (optional slurry)
If you prefer an intensified PureBerry flavor, whisk the 1 tsp freeze-dried berry powder with 1 tsp water to make a small slurry and drizzle over fresh berries; otherwise sprinkle powder directly on top of the bowl for a burst of flavor.
Assembly & Finish
- 9
Spoon the blended açaí mixture into a large bowl, smoothing the top gently.
- 10
Scatter a generous handful (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) of the cooled granola over one side of the bowl so the base is partially covered with crunchy clusters.
- 11
Arrange the fresh blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, and fresh banana slices in sections on top of the açaí so you have colorful topping zones.
- 12
Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1 tablespoon coconut flakes evenly over the bowl. Add hemp hearts if using.
- 13
Finish with a light drizzle of 1 teaspoon raw honey (or extra maple syrup) over the granola and berries to add sheen and a touch of sweetness.
- 14
Serve immediately with a spoon. If making ahead, keep granola separate and add just before serving to maintain crunch. Leftover blended açaí can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks; thaw briefly to scoop.
