Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet of frozen acai puree 100g
  • 1 medium frozen banana about 100g
  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries about 70g
  • ½ cup almond milk 120 ml
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, 15g

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients

  • Break the frozen acai packet into smaller chunks for easy blending.
    Make sure the banana and mixed berries are frozen for the perfect creamy consistency.

Blend the Base

  • Place the frozen acai, frozen banana, and mixed berries into a blender.
    Add almond milk and honey (optional).
    Blend until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything blends evenly.

Serve

Notes

  • Liquid Options: You can use coconut water, fruit juice, or oat milk if you prefer a different base liquid.
  • Topping Variations: Feel free to experiment with different fruits such as mango, kiwi, or pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Sweeteners: Honey or maple syrup adds a nice touch of sweetness, but you can skip it if you prefer a more tart flavor.
  • Storage: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, the acai base (without toppings) can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 days. Re-blend with a splash of liquid when ready to eat.
