Tips & Variations

• Use frozen acai puree packets for a smoother texture if fresh frozen berries are not available.
• Replace almond milk with coconut or oat milk to vary the flavor and creaminess.
• Try adding a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost without altering the taste significantly.
• Add a scoop of protein powder to make it more filling and suitable as a meal replacement.

Storage

It’s best to enjoy the smoothie bowl immediately for the freshest texture. If you need to store leftovers, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The toppings should be added fresh before eating. Reheat is not recommended, but you can stir and add a splash of almond milk to loosen the mixture if it thickens too much.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Frozen fruit helps create the thick, cold smoothie bowl texture. Using fresh fruit may result in a thinner consistency, so consider adding ice cubes or freezing the fresh fruit before blending.

Is it necessary to use acai berries?

Acai berries add a unique flavor and antioxidant benefits, but you can substitute with other berries like blueberries or blackberries if acai is unavailable.
