Ingredients
Scale
- 1 frozen unsweetened acai packet (3.5 oz)
- 1 large frozen banana (sliced before freezing)
- 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- 1/4 cup crunchy granola
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
- A drizzle of honey or agave nectar (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Base. Run your frozen acai packet under warm water for about 10 seconds. This makes it easier to break into chunks before putting it into the blender. Break the frozen banana into smaller pieces to ensure your blender can process them quickly without heating up the mixture.
- Step 2: Blend for Creaminess. Place the acai chunks, frozen banana, peanut butter, and a tiny splash of almond milk into a high-speed blender. Use the blender’s tamper tool to push the frozen ingredients down into the blades. Blend on low speed and gradually increase. Only add more liquid one teaspoon at a time if the blender stalls. You want a thick, sorbet-like consistency.
- Step 3: Plating and Topping. Scoop the thick purple mixture into a chilled bowl. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Arrange your granola in a neat line across one side. Add the fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and an extra dollop of peanut butter. Finish with a drizzle of honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. Serve immediately while it is still frozen and firm.
