The Acai Berry Blast Smoothie Bowl

The Acai Berry Blast Smoothie Bowl Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

(1) 100g pouch of frozen unsweetened pure acai berry puree (I’ve had good luck with Sambazon superfruit pack)

2 large ripe bananas

2 large medjool dates, pitted

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt

2 tablespoons (28 grams) of your favorite peanut butter

2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds

2 cups of mixed frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries) INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

1First, pop your acai packet in the microwave for about 30 seconds to thaw it slightly, or just let it sit on the counter while you gather all your ingredients. Then add your sweeteners to the blender container, the bananas and the dates. Cold dates can be difficult to blend so toss those in first, to create a banana layer between the dates and the frozen fruit.

2Next add the flavorings and the healthy fats: the vanilla, salt, peanut butter and ground chia seeds. Chia seeds are not only a nutrient dense superfood, but also work as an excellent thickener.

3Add the frozen mixed berries and the acai. Securely attach the lid to the container and blend on low, working up to medium speed, util creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary, or by using the tamper (if you have a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.

4Pour the berry blast mixture, which will be the consistency of loose soft serve with seeds from the berries, into three bowls and top with your favorite granola and fresh berries.

5Notes: Make it a blueberry blast by using 2 cups of frozen blueberries.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
