The BEST Acai Breakfast Bowl (in 5 Minutes!)
Just 3 ingredients and 5 minutes for this Vegan Acai Breakfast Bowl, served with toppings like yogurt, granola, nuts, and fruits for a healthy smoothie bowl!
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen acai puree (100 grams, 7 oz), OR sub with 3/4 cup frozen mixed berries (105 grams) + 2 Tablespoons acai powder
- 1 banana sliced and frozen
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (180 ml) I used oat milk but any will do!
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a high-powered blender. First, make sure that the frozen fruit pieces do not stick together to form a giant lump. If they do, let it sit on the counter for about 15 minutes until you can break them apart either by hand or using a butter knife.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth and you don't see any fruit chunks. You might need to pause in between, stir, and re-blend especially if your blender doesn't come with a tamper.
- Transfer into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Some great options are vegan yogurt, granola, nuts & seeds, and fruits (both fresh and dried).
Notes
Top Tips
- Prep Ahead - Slice your banana before freezing. It makes the blending process so much easier and faster!
- Ripe Bananas - Use ripe bananas with dark brown / black spots which add natural sweetness to your banana acai breakfast bowl.
- Liquid Amount / Using a High-powered Blender - In general, the more liquid you have, the easier it is to blend. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can add more liquid but note that this will make the acai breakfast bowl less creamy.
- Taste Test - Taste the acai blend before transferring it to the bowl. Adjust sweetness to match your preference!
- Frozen Acai Puree vs Acai Powder - See the post above for more details & pictures on how the result will differ.
- Serve this fresh, within 15-20 minutes. If you wait too long, they will melt and become less creamy.
