Acai Bowl

Ripe banana and vibrant berries swirl with creamy acai and silky yogurt into a thick, spoonable bowl that tastes bright, lightly nutty, and naturally sweet. Crunchy almonds, chewy goji berries, and tiny seeds add satisfying texture in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 (3.5-ounce) package frozen unsweetened acai puree
  • 1/4 cup fat-free plain strained yogurt, such as Greek-style
  • 1/4 cup coconut water
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp dried goji berries
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Cut banana in half crosswise; peel 1 half (set aside the remaining unpeeled half). Place the peeled banana half on a freezer-safe plate lined with parchment paper; freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
  2. Place the frozen banana, berries, acai puree, yogurt, coconut water, almond butter and cinnamon in a blender. Blend until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides of blender as needed. Peel and slice the reserved banana half.
  3. Pour the smoothie into a bowl; top with the banana slices, goji berries, almonds, chia seeds and hemp seeds. Serve immediately.
