Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond milk, or other vegan milk
- 1/2 banana
- 1 ¼ cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 acai packet
- 1 heaping tsp maca powder
- 1 – 2 T cacao powder (I like 1 ½ tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup Cacao Quinoa Granola (or granola of your choice), separated
Toppings
- 1/2 banana, thinly sliced
- 2–3 strawberries, thinly sliced
- ½ cup of blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries (or a mixture of any of the three)
- 2 tsp cacao nibs
- 1 tsp hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds)
Instructions
- Choose the bowl that you are going to serve the acai bowl in, and place it in the freezer (optional, but this will keep the smoothie colder longer).
- Prepare your toppings, such as the slicing the strawberries and the half banana. Set aside.
- Combine the first 6 ingredients in your high-speed blender, and puree until smooth. You may need to scrape the sides a few times or stir it to break up clumps. This will be a thick smoothie.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer and pour 1/4 cup granola into the bottom of the bowl. Gently pour the smoothie on top of the granola
- If the smoothie has started to liquify, you may want to place the blender canister in the freezer for about five minutes before pouring into the bowl.
- Top with the 1/2 cup of granola and sliced fruit. Sprinkle the cacao nibs and hemp seeds on top of the fruit and serve immediately. Enjoy!
