Equipment

High Speed Blender

Ingredients

1 frozen banana cut into slices
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen strawberries
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
2 packets frozen acai puree 200 grams broken into pieces
1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder

Toppings

2 tablespoon fresh blueberries
3 strawberries cut into slices
3 slices mango
1 teaspoon coconut flakes
1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

Place the frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, and almond milk in the bottom of a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, using a tamper to help the fruit and milk blend completely. It may take up to a minute for it to blend completely.
Remove the lid and add the broken-up acai berry packets and the optional vegan vanilla protein powder. Replace the lid, and blend again until completely smooth.
Pour the contents into a large bowl. Top with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and mango slices, and sprinkle with coconut flakes and chia seeds. Or add the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips:

Use a high-speed blender that has a tamper. It is very difficult to get a thick smoothie bowl if you don't use a tamper to help mix the frozen fruit with the almond milk.
Use pre-frozen fruit, or freeze your fruit at least the night before you plan to make your bowls.
You can purchase Acai Packets from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. These are the acai packets that I use.
Slice your banans prior to freezing them. It makes it easier then trying to slice an already frozen banana.
