Step by step
-
BLEND THE BASE
Combine the frozen acai packet, frozen banana slices, and liquid in a blender.

BLEND UNTIL SMOOTH
Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times. Add more liquid, a tablespoon at a time, if it's too thick to blend. You want a thick, smoothie-like consistency.

POUR INTO A BOWL
Transfer the blended acai mixture to a bowl.
-
ADD YOUR TOPPINGS
Arrange your favorite toppings on top of the acai base. Get creative and have fun with it! -
