Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (100g) frozen unsweetened acai puree (slightly thawed)
- 1 large frozen banana (sliced before freezing)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein granola
- Fresh strawberries and blueberries for topping
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
- Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Base Ingredients
Remove your frozen acai packet from the freezer and run it under warm water for 15 seconds to slightly soften the edges. Break the frozen banana into chunks and place them into a high-speed blender. Add the cocoa powder, nut butter, and half of the almond milk. Keeping the liquid amount low is the secret to achieving that signature thick, creamy consistency. - Step 2: Blend Until Velvety
Start blending on a low speed, using a tamper tool to push the frozen fruit down toward the blades. If you do not have a tamper, stop the blender frequently to scrape down the sides. Gradually increase the speed and add the remaining almond milk only if necessary. Process the mixture until it is completely smooth and looks like thick chocolate soft-serve ice cream. - Step 3: Assemble and Top
Scoop the thick chocolate acai mixture into a chilled bowl. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface. Arrange the granola in a neat line across one side. Add your fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and an extra dollop of nut butter. Serve immediately while it is still icy and firm.
