Ingredients

• 200g açaí purée, partially thawed
• 1 frozen banana, sliced
• 120g frozen mixed berries
• 60ml apple juice or oat drink, plus more if needed
• 2 tbsp granola
• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• Fresh banana slices, optional

Method

1. Break the partially thawed açaí into pieces that your blender can handle.
2. Add açaí, frozen banana, berries and 60ml liquid to the blender.
3. Blend on low, stopping to scrape down the sides. Add extra liquid one tablespoon at a time only if the blades cannot turn.
4. Divide between two cold bowls and add granola, seeds and banana. Serve immediately.

Why this recipe works

Frozen banana adds sweetness and body, while minimal liquid creates a spoonable rather than drinkable texture. Keeping the açaí cold preserves the thick consistency.

Practical tips and variations

• Check whether the purée is sweetened before adding any sweetener.
• Use a tamper if your blender includes one, following its instructions.
• Prepare toppings before blending because the bowl softens quickly.

Serving and storage

Serve immediately. A blended bowl becomes thinner as it warms and is not suitable for refreezing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make an açaí bowl thicker?

Use frozen fruit, begin with very little liquid and keep the purée partly frozen.

Can I use water instead of juice?

Yes. The bowl will be less sweet but the texture can remain the same.

Does açaí purée contain sugar?

Formulations vary, so check the current product label before adding sweetener.
