Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 1 cup frozen berry mix (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) Choose high-quality organic options for better flavor.
- 1 large banana, sliced and frozen Always peel and slice your bananas before freezing for easy blending.
- 1 tablespoon acai berry powder or 1 packet frozen acai puree (slightly thawed) I recommend using Navitas Organics Acai Powder for overall quality.
- 3/4 to 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk or water (plus more as needed) Almond or oat milk work wonders here.
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional for extra protein) Almond butter, peanut, or cashew butter works just as well.
Toppings
- fresh berries and fruit Mix your favorites based on what’s ripe or in season.
- granola Store-bought options are fine too.
- toasted coconut flakes They add a delightful chewiness and richness.
- chia seeds and/or hemp hearts Provides added texture and nutrition.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out your frozen berries, banana, acai powder/puree, and milk or water.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, add the frozen berry mix, frozen banana slices, acai powder (or puree), and nut butter if using. Pour in 3/4 cup of non-dairy milk or water.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add small amounts of milk/water incrementally.
- Taste and Adjust: If you want it sweeter, add a touch of honey or your favorite sweetener and blend again briefly.
- Serve in a Bowl: Spoon the smoothie mixture into a bowl and spread it into an even layer.
- Top to Your Heart's Content: Decorate your smoothie bowl with the fresh fruits, granola, toasted coconut, chia seeds, and hemp hearts.

Notes
For a thicker consistency, ensure your banana is adequately frozen. If your smoothie bowl is too thick, add a little more liquid to adjust.
