Ingredients

7 oz frozen acai packets (unsweetened, such as Sambazon), broken into chunks
1 frozen banana, sliced
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
2 tsp pure maple syrup
1/2 cup granola (vegan-friendly)
1 fresh banana, sliced
1/2 cup fresh strawberries or mixed berries, hulled and sliced
2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

1

Add 7 oz broken into chunks frozen acai packets (unsweetened, such as Sambazon), 1 sliced frozen banana, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk) to a high-powered blender.
2

Blend on high, using a tamper if available, until completely smooth and very thick - the base should be thicker than a regular smoothie. Add a splash more almond milk only if needed to get the blender moving, but keep it as thick as possible.
3

Taste and sweeten with 2 tsp pure maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly to combine.
4

Divide the base evenly between two bowls.
5

Top each bowl with 1/2 cup granola (vegan-friendly), 1 sliced fresh banana, and 1/2 cup hulled and sliced fresh strawberries or mixed berries. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes.
6

Serve immediately.

One serving (the recipe makes 2) is about 320 calories, with 6 g protein, 42 g carbohydrate and 12 g fat, plus 6 g fiber and 150 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I make Acai Bowl with Granola and Banana ahead?

Yes: blend the base ahead and freeze it for up to a month, then re-blend it briefly before serving. Once assembled it does not keep; the texture goes as it melts, so eat it right away.

Can I halve or double Acai Bowl with Granola and Banana?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the acai drops from 7 oz to 3.5 oz; doubled, it is 14 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
