Deluxe Açai Bowl
Adapted from Green Kitchen Travels: Healthy Vegetarian Food Inspired by Our Adventures [1] by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl
Notes
For best results, use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix; as the açai bowl base is thicker than a smoothie, blenders with lower horsepower may have trouble processing it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) frozen strawberries
2 frozen sliced bananas [2]
4 tablespoons açai powder [3]
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice), plus more as needed
2 tablespoons nut or seed butter (I used almond)
1/2 to 1 tablespoon honey, to taste
- Toppings:
Fresh fruit, sliced (I used bananas, strawberries, and raspberries)
Bee pollen [4]
Clear, runny honey
Granola (optional)
Unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
Dried goji berries (optional)
Chia or hemp seeds (optional)
Directions
- Add the frozen fruits, açai powder, almond milk, nut or seed butter, and honey to a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth, adding extra almond milk as needed to get the blender running. Aim for a frozen-yogurt consistency (it should be thicker than a smoothie).
- Spoon the açai mixture into bowls and top with sliced fruit, bee pollen, a drizzle of honey, and the optional toppings (if using).
