A vibrant and refreshing acai bowl featuring a creamy acai base blended with banana and almond milk, topped with crunchy homemade granola and fresh berries. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 frozen acai berry puree packs (100g each)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), about ½ cup total
  • Banana slices (for topping)
  • Shredded coconut or cacao nibs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, chia seeds, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until well coated.
  2. Spread the granola mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and nutty smelling. Let cool completely to crisp up.
  3. While granola bakes, add frozen acai packs, sliced banana, almond milk, and honey (if using) to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice cubes as needed.
  4. Spoon the acai blend into serving bowls. Top generously with cooled granola, fresh mixed berries, banana slices, and optional shredded coconut or cacao nibs.
  5. Serve immediately for best texture contrast between creamy, crunchy, and juicy.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for creamy texture. Toss granola halfway through baking to avoid burning. Cool granola completely before topping to keep it crunchy. If acai base melts too fast, freeze for 10 minutes before serving. Use gluten-free oats and maple syrup for vegan and gluten-free versions. Protein powder or nut butter can be added for extra protein.
