Notes
I love and recommend this acai berry powder from Terrasoul, purchased from Amazon (<affiliate link). You can find frozen acai berry packets for smoothie bowls at Target in the freezer section with the other frozen fruits.
Use ripe bananas. When freezing bananas, make sure they are very ripe. They will sweeten your smoothie, so you won’t need added sweeteners.
Serve right away. As with all smoothies, they are best eaten right after making.
Top to your heart’s content. Add as much fruit as you like to your acai smoothie bowl. If you’re watching your refined sugar intake, go easy on the granola.
Have ingredients prepped ahead. Keep frozen banana slices and berries in the freezer. You can even portion the berries in freezer-safe ziplock bags that are ready to grab and use.
