Acai base

Method

Acai base

1

Prepare ingredients

Remove acai purée from freezer and let sit for 1–2 minutes to slightly loosen. Peel the ripe banana and break into chunks. Measure almond milk and any optional sweetener or vanilla.

2

Blend

In a high-speed blender, combine frozen acai purée, ripe banana, frozen banana, and 120 ml unsweetened almond milk. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp honey or agave if using. Blend on high in 10–20 second bursts, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is very smooth and thick. Aim for a spoonable soft-serve consistency; if too thick, add almond milk 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time; if too thin, add a small handful of frozen banana or a few ice cubes and re-blend.

3

Adjust texture & chill

Taste for sweetness and adjust with a little more honey/agave if desired. If the mixture warmed during blending, place the blender jar in the freezer for 2–3 minutes or transfer to a chilled bowl to firm slightly before assembling.

4

Spoon the acai base into a serving bowl, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon to create an even surface for toppings.

Toppings & assembly

5

Arrange toppings immediately after spooning the acai base so they sit on top rather than sinking. Place the 1/2 sliced banana in a neat row or fan across one side of the bowl.

6

Scatter 3/4 cup hemp granola over the center or opposite side from the banana, leaving some base visible for contrast.

7

If using, sprinkle 1/4 cup fresh berries across the bowl for color and added freshness.

8

Finish with a light dusting of 1 tsp hemp seeds and 1/2 tsp chia seeds over the top for extra texture and nutrition.

9

Serve immediately with a spoon. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes; toppings may become soggy if left longer.
