Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packs (about 200g) frozen unsweetened açai puree
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup (75g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- Honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Homemade granola: 2 cups (180g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped almonds, 1/4 cup (30g) pumpkin seeds, 1/3 cup (25g) unsweetened coconut flakes, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch…
- Fresh fruit toppings: sliced banana, kiwi, mango, strawberries, or passion fruit
- Optional extras: shredded coconut, cacao nibs, nut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
- Spread granola mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
- In a high-speed blender, add frozen açai puree, frozen banana, almond milk, and frozen mixed berries. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add more almond milk if too thick.
- Taste and add honey or agave syrup if desired, then blend briefly to combine.
- Spoon açai base into a wide bowl. Arrange fresh fruit slices on top and sprinkle generously with homemade granola and any optional toppings.
- Serve immediately for best texture. If needed, cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour, noting granola may soften.
Notes
Use frozen banana and berries for thick, scoopable texture. Add almond milk gradually to avoid a runny base. Homemade granola is preferred for freshness and texture. Chill serving bowls before assembling to keep açai from melting quickly. Store granola separately to maintain crunch.
