Coconut Acai Bowl Recipe

Prepare the açaí blend

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen açaí puree (200 g), coconut yogurt (1 cup), almond milk (120 ml), sliced banana, and ground flaxseed (1 tbs, optional).

Blend on high until smooth and thick. Use a tamper or pulse in short bursts to keep texture dense — you want a spoonable, thick consistency. If too thick, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or a small piece of frozen banana.

Taste and adjust sweetness if desired: add a small amount of honey or agave (up to 1 tsp) and pulse briefly to combine.

Spoon the thickened açaí mixture into a shallow bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.

Arrange toppings

Immediately arrange toppings on the açaí base: dollop almond butter (2 tbs) in a central line or small spoonfuls. Place sliced kiwi on one side and scatter mixed berries (3 oz) on another side for color contrast.

Sprinkle granola (1/2 cup) over one section for crunch, then add shredded coconut (1 tbs) and chia seeds (1 tsp) evenly across the bowl.

If desired, lightly drizzle honey or agave (1 tsp) over the fruit and almond butter for extra sweetness.

Finish with fresh mint leaves and a light dusting of lemon or lime zest (1 tsp) to brighten flavors.

Serve immediately with a spoon so the granola stays crunchy. Leftover blended açaí can be covered and frozen for up to 1 week; add a splash of almond milk and re-blend to restore texture before serving.
