Açai Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 pack (100g) frozen açai pack (unsweetened)
• ¾ cup frozen blueberries
• ½ medium, sliced frozen banana
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
• ¼ cup granola (gluten-free if needed)
• ¼ cup, sliced fresh strawberries
• ¼ cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons, chopped raw almonds or walnuts
• ½ teaspoon raw honey (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add 1 frozen açai pack (100g unsweetened), 0.75 cup frozen blueberries, 0.5 medium frozen banana (pre-sliced), 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 0.25 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to a high-powered blender. The mixture should be very thick and frozen — if it moves too freely, the blender is working harder than it needs to and you'll end up with a smoothie rather than a spoonable bowl.

2. 2

   Blend on medium-high speed for 30–45 seconds, pausing to stir with a spatula as needed. You're aiming for a texture like soft-serve ice cream or thick peanut butter — spreadable with a spoon, not pourable like a regular smoothie. If it's too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk at a time and blend briefly. If it's too thin, add a few more frozen blueberries.

3. 3

   Pour the thick smoothie mixture into a wide, shallow bowl — a cereal bowl or soup bowl works perfectly. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into an even layer about 0.5 inches thick across the bottom.

4. 4

   Arrange your toppings over the base: sprinkle 0.25 cup granola in clusters across the surface, scatter 0.25 cup sliced fresh strawberries and 0.25 cup fresh blueberries in alternating sections, then top with 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes and 2 tablespoons chopped raw almonds. Group similar toppings together rather than mixing them all together — it looks more intentional and keeps textures distinct.

5. 5

   If using, drizzle 0.5 teaspoon raw honey in a thin zigzag pattern over the top. Eat immediately with a spoon, working from the edges toward the center — this way you get a bite of creamy base with each crunchy topping.
