Tropical Acai Bowl Recipe
A Tropical Acai Bowl blends frozen acai, mango, pineapple, and banana with lime juice. Top with fresh fruit, granola, and seeds for a refreshing, nutritious, and energizing breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 packets Frozen acai purée:
- 1 ½ cups Frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks:
- 2 packets Frozen banana chunks
- 1 cup Ice-cold water
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- ½ cup Fresh fruit toppings strawberries, kiwi, blueberries
- ½ cup Granola
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flakes optional
- 1 tablespoons Chia seeds or hemp seeds optional
- 1-2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup optional for sweetness
Instructions
- Place the frozen mango, pineapple, and banana into a blender. Hold the acai packets under warm water for about 10 seconds to slightly thaw, then open them and add the acai pulp to the blender.
- Add the cold water, secure the lid, and begin blending on the lowest speed until the mixture starts to blend. Gradually increase the speed as it gains traction. If needed, stop the blender to scrape down the sides, and add ¼ to ½ cup of water if the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly. (Using a tamper, I didn’t need to add extra liquid with my Vitamix.)
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lime juice to the blender, adjusting to your taste preferences, and blend briefly to combine. The zesty lime will elevate the flavors of your Tropical Acai Bowl. Once blended, pour the smoothie into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit or seeds. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a convenient, healthy trea
Notes
Storage tipsIf you plan to save leftover smoothie bowls, wait to add fresh fruit or granola until just before serving.
