Ingredients

Scale

Acai Base

  • 1 unsweetened acai packet
  • ½ frozen banana (in chunks)
  • ½ cup frozen berries

Protein Mix

  • ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder

Liquid

  • 2 to 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) milk of choice

Instructions

  1. Thaw the Acai: Let the frozen acai packet sit out at room temperature for a couple of minutes until the packaging loosens. Carefully remove the acai from the packaging and cut or break the frozen acai into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the acai pieces, frozen banana chunks, frozen berries, full-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and your choice of milk into the blender.
  3. Blend the Mixture: Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low speed. Gradually increase the speed as the ingredients start to combine. Use a tamper tool to push the mixture around if needed, as the blend will be thick due to the frozen ingredients. Continue blending until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve: Once perfectly blended, scoop the smoothie into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings if desired and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of milk to reach your preferred consistency.
  • Top with fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
  • This recipe works well with dairy-free yogurts to make it vegan-friendly.
  • Use unsweetened acai packets to control added sugars in the recipe.
  • Consume immediately for the best texture, as smoothie bowls tend to thaw if left too long.
