Açai Super Smoothie Recipe

Prepare frozen ingredients

If your açaí comes as a frozen block or pack, run it under cold water for 5–10 seconds to loosen from the packaging. Break into chunks if necessary. Measure 200 g of açaí. Use frozen banana and berries to keep the smoothie thick.

Place the açaí, frozen mixed berries, and sliced banana into the blender pitcher in that order (heaviest items first).

Add 1 cup almond milk and 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt to the blender. The yogurt improves creaminess and mouthfeel; omit or use dairy-free if preferred.

Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds for texture and a nutritional boost.

If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If using protein powder, add 1 scoop now. These are optional—adjust to taste.

Secure the blender lid. Start blending on low speed for 10–15 seconds to break up the frozen fruit, then increase to high and blend 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and thick. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add almond milk in 2 tablespoon increments until the blades move freely. If it becomes too thin, add a few ice cubes or a bit more frozen banana/açaí.

Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla if needed. Blend briefly (5–10 seconds) after adjustments.

Pour the smoothie into a glass or bowl. For an açaí bowl, use a wider bowl to accommodate toppings.

Top with 2 tablespoons granola, 1/2 sliced banana, 2 tablespoons fresh berries and 1 teaspoon shredded coconut, arranging as desired.

Serve immediately with a spoon or straw.
