Description
A nutritious and delicious Protein Acai Bowl made with frozen acai, fruits, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder, blended into a thick smoothie bowl perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Acai Base
- 1 unsweetened acai packet
- ½ frozen banana (in chunks)
- ½ cup frozen berries
Dairy & Protein
- ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder
Liquid
- 2 to ¼ cup milk of choice
Instructions
- Thaw: Let the frozen acai packet sit out at room temperature for a couple of minutes, just enough for the packaging to loosen. Then remove from the package and cut or break the frozen pack into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Add Ingredients: Place the acai pieces, banana chunks, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and milk into your blender. The amount of milk can be adjusted depending on your desired consistency.
- Blend: Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on low speed, gradually increasing as the ingredients begin to combine. Use the tamper to push the frozen ingredients towards the blades. This may take a little longer because the smoothie bowl is thick and dense, which is ideal for a creamy texture.
- Serve: Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, pour or scoop the thick smoothie into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or seeds, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred smoothie consistency.
- Full fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute with low-fat or non-dairy yogurt if preferred.
- Choose your favorite milk type: dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk.
- Top your acai bowl with granola, chia seeds, sliced fruits, or nuts for added texture and nutrition.
- Using unsweetened acai keeps sugar content low; adjust sweetness with natural options like honey or maple syrup if desired.
