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.

Questions

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. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
