Acai Base

Method

Acai Base

1

Prepare blender

Place a high-speed blender or food processor on the counter. If using acai packets that are very hard, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to slightly thaw for easier blending.

2

Add base ingredients

Tear open 2 frozen acai puree packets into the blender. Add 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 sliced ripe banana, and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk.

3

Sweeten and blend

Add 1 tablespoon honey or agave (adjust to taste). Blend on high until smooth and thick. Use short pulses if mixture is too thick; add up to 2 tablespoons more almond milk only as needed to reach a spoonable, soft-serve consistency (should be thick enough to hold toppings).

4

Check texture and chill

Scrape down sides and check texture. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or a small handful of frozen strawberries and pulse again. If too thick to blend, add 1–2 teaspoons almond milk at a time. Once smooth and scoopable, stop blending.

5

Serve base

Spoon the acai mixture into a bowl, smoothing the surface to prepare for toppings.

Toppings

6

Arrange fresh fruit

Neatly arrange 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup hulled, sliced fresh strawberries across the top of the acai base. Add 1/4 sliced banana for extra creaminess and visual contrast.

7

Add granola and finish

Sprinkle 1/2 cup hemp granola over one side of the bowl to maintain crunch. If desired, finish with a 1 teaspoon drizzle of almond butter across the toppings for richness.

8

Serve immediately

Serve the mixed berry acai bowl immediately to preserve the cold, thick texture and the crunch of the granola. Provide a spoon and enjoy.
