I created this Mixed Berry Acai Bowl after trying multiple recipes where the açaí part of the bowl came out to liquified. I was in the middle of a Whole 30 and desperate for something for breakfast that wasn’t eggs! This bowl has a thick base and you can top it any way you like. To keep it Whole 30 compliant, I chose unsweetened shredded coconut, strawberries, blueberries, and sliced almonds. Sometimes I add bananas, raspberries, mini chocolate chips, my favorite granola, or a drizzle of honey. I have a Vitamix and have to say, I’ve not tested this recipe in a regular blender. It definitely puts the Vitamix to work (and me!), but the thick base is totally worth all of the scraping, stopping, and starting. If you wanted to make the base a little easier to blend, you could add a little apple juice, coconut milk, or coconut water. The base just won’t be as thick, but it will still taste delicious!
Mixed Berry Acai Bowl
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 bowl 1x
Ingredients
1 frozen açaí packet
1 cup frozen mixed berries
For topping (choose what you like)
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Bananas
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Sliced Almonds
Granola
Mini Chocolate Chips
Honey
Instructions
Place the frozen açaí packet under warm running water until you can break it into pieces (still in the packet). Then, cut the packet open and empty into the blender. Add the frozen mixed berries. For my Vitamix, I turn it to the Smoothie setting and let it run, using the tool to push things back down. Once you’ve blended for a bit, you will need to use a spatula to keep pushing the contents down and running the blender until it is well blended. This will take some work!
Once the açaí mixture is blended well, scrape it into a bowl. Top with any toppings you like and serve immediately.
