Base

2 pieces frozen açaí purée (unsweetened), packets

1 pieces ripe banana

1/2 cups frozen banana, chunked

1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk

1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Toppings

2 tbs almond butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cups hemp granola

1/2 pieces fresh banana, thinly sliced

1/4 cups fresh berries (blueberries or strawberries), optional

1 tsp hemp seeds (shelled)

1 tsp coconut flakes (unsweetened), optional

Garnish & Add-ins

1/2 tsp chia seeds (optional)

2.03 tbsp (30 ml) extra almond milk (if needed to adjust thickness)

Method

Base

Prepare blender

Use a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the almond milk to the blender first to help the frozen ingredients move more easily.

Break or scoop the frozen açaí purée packets into the blender. If using frozen açaí cubes, add equivalent amount (about 200 g total).

Add the ripe banana (for sweetness and creaminess) and the frozen banana chunks to the blender.

Optional: Add 1 tsp maple syrup or honey and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract if you want a slightly sweeter flavor.

Pulse on low at first to combine, then blend on high until very thick and smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed. The texture should be spoonable — thick like soft-serve. If too thick to blend, add extra almond milk 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time (up to the 30 ml extra listed) until it moves but remains thick.

Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. Transfer the açaí blend into a serving bowl, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon.

Toppings

Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of almond butter in three lines or dollops across the top of the açaí base. If the almond butter is very thick, warm it for 5–10 seconds in the microwave and stir to loosen.

Sprinkle the 1/2 cup hemp granola evenly over one side of the bowl to create crunch contrast.

Arrange the 1/2 sliced fresh banana and 1/4 cup fresh berries in small clusters on the remaining surface for color and fresh flavor.

Finish by scattering 1 teaspoon hemp seeds and 1 teaspoon coconut flakes over the bowl for texture and visual appeal.

Garnish & Serve

Optional: sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds for added nutrition.

Serve immediately with a spoon. If you need to hold it for a short time, place in the freezer for up to 10 minutes to keep the thick texture; avoid leaving it at room temperature for long as the toppings will soften and the açaí will melt.
