Ingredients:
ACAI BOWL
2 packets frozen unsweetened acai (organic if when possible // We used Sambazon unsweetened)
1 1/2 medium ripe bananas (already sliced and frozen)
3 Tbsp peanut butter powder (or any nut butter of choice)
1/4 – 1/2 cup almond ,unsweetened coconut , rice or any other non-dairy milk
1 cup spinach (organic if possible // We bought ours washed + freeze it) ( its optional)
1/4 cup mixed berries ( its optional // for color)
TOPPINGS optional
2 Tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds/hemp seeds
1/2 medium banana, sliced
Instructions:
Add frozen acai, frozen banana, peanut butter powder (or butter), and the lesser amount of dairy-free milk (1/4 cup as original recipe is written) into a high-speed blender. If your adding spinach, add it at this time. We only added berries for purple color and recommend leaving them out for best flavor.
Blend it on low, using a wand to push the fruit down. The Smoothie bowls will be thick, so it takes them longer to blend. Continue blending, scraping down the sides if needed, adding only as much dairy-free milk as it takes to help it form a thick smoothie texture.
Taste and adjust the flavor if needed, adding more peanut butter powder (or butter) for peanut butter flavor, banana for sweetness, or berries for fruity flavor. The flavor should resemble a peanut butter banana smoothie, as the açaí is quite subtle in flavor and slightly tart.
Divide between two serving bowls and garnish with desired toppings. We went with coconut, berries, banana, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and peanut butter.
Serve and enjoy it immediately – it tastes best when its fresh! Freeze the leftovers for up to 2 weeks. Thaw to enjoy.
