Açaí Bowl (V, GF Option)
This açaí bowl is a healthy and delicious fruit smoothie bowl that will make you dream of a tropical island. The base is made with frozen açaí, frozen banana and frozen berries. Pair it with lots of toppings like fresh banana, your favourite granola, fresh berries, goji berries, desiccated coconut and almond butter.
Ingredients
Açai base:
- 1 (100g) frozen açaí pack
- 60 g frozen banana
- 60 g frozen blueberries
- 60 g frozen strawberries
- 1 medjool date optional
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) unsweetened almond milk
Suggested toppings:
- a few slices of fresh banana
- a handful of fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries
- a generous sprinkle of your favourite granola make sure it's vegan; gluten free if needed
- a sprinkle of dried goji berries
- a sprinkle of desiccated coconut
- almond butter
Instructions
- Put all ingredients for the base in a blender and mix. Press down with the stick so that the mixture becomes smooth and there are no chunks of fruit left but also don't mix too much. The consistency shouldn't be liquid but rather like a scoop of ice cream.
- Transfer the base into a bowl.
- Decorate the top of the base with desired toppings. Add more or less depending on your preference.
Notes
*If you buy frozen açaí pack that's already sweetened then you don't need to add a medjool date to the smoothie part. I find that unsweetened frozen açaí pack does need a little bit of sweetness added but you can also skip it, if you like it without the sweetener.
*If you can get your hands on wild blueberries, use those instead of regular ones.
*Make sure to use banana that is ripe enough so that it adds a nice sweet taste.
