If you know me, you know I’m addicted to a restaurant in Tuscaloosa called Frutta Bowls. Frutta Bowls makes the BEST açaí bowls and I think I’ve finally found a recipe that is close to Frutta Bowls perfection!
Ingredients:
Açaí Base:
- Two packs of Sambazon’s açaí original blend (see picture; most common in Kroger, Publix or Target)
- 1/2 yellow banana (can be ripe, but I prefer yellow colored)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- honey (optional)
Topping options:
- Granola
- Fruit (I prefer strawberry and banana)
- coconut flakes
- Peanut butter
- Nutella
- Honey
Instructions:
- In a blender, add two packs of açaí (still frozen or slightly thawed) with 1/2 a banana (frozen or not) and 1/4 of almond milk. Blend ingredients on high or food puree for about a minute. OPTION: Add 1 tablespoon of honey around 40 seconds into the blending process, stir in with a spoon, then continue blending.
- Check to make sure mixture is blended!! If it’s not, I use a spoon to stir around more and add just a hint more almond milk and blend until it’s all together.
- Serve and enjoy with whatever toppings you want!! (makes 1-2 bowls)
- My bowl includes: 1/3 cup of honey oats granola, 1/2 cut banana (lately I’ve been leaving the banana out,) 1/3 cup strawberries, honey and/or nutella, and coconut flakes!
If you cannot find frozen açaí puree in your local grocery store, try finding/ordering açaí powder and following the instructions on the label to make your own açaí bowl! Also, customize the toppings of your own bowl! And let me know what you like on yours! 🙂
