Easy to make at home, Acai Bowls are packed with nutrients and antioxidants but they taste like a treat. Acai bowls come together quickly with frozen acai purée and then you can customize the toppings to what's in season and your favorite fruits. We love topping ours with seasonal fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola.
Place the acai smoothie base ingredients into a small food processor or large food processor fitted with the small bowl insert. You can also make this with a blender using a bit of milk or orange juice plus the tamper to keep the mixture moving.
For the food processor process scraping down the sides and breaking up chunks as necessary until smooth. If you use a blender, add liquid as necessary and blend at low speeds until the mixture becomes smooth. Don't increase the speeds before it's blending smoothly so you don't hurt the motor.
Portion the acai smoothie base into 2 bowls, and divide the toppings evenly. Serve immediately.
These smoothie bowls are infinitely customizable. Vary the toppings according to your preferences and what's in season!

Notes
You can use fresh bananas but the smoothie base will be less frosty. For the thickest acai smoothie base, frozen fruit is essential, but it does take a bit of time and patience in a food processor. For a blender, I recommend either fresh banana or pineapple along with a bit of liquid like milk or orange juice to get the mixture moving in the blender container.These nutrition facts are a best estimate, values will vary depending on what you use in your acai bowl.
