Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (about 150g)
  • 1/2 large frozen banana (about 60g)
  • 1 packet acai puree (about 100g) or 2 tablespoons acai powder
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (about 120g, or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (about 80ml, or oat/soy/regular milk)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Granola (for topping)
  • Chia seeds (for topping)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
  • Crushed almonds or walnuts (for topping)
  • Puffed quinoa or rice cereal (for topping)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional topping)
  • Blueberries or raspberries (optional topping)
  • Sliced banana (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Measure out frozen strawberries and banana. If using fresh fruit, freeze for 30 minutes.
  2. Slightly thaw acai pack under warm water for 10 seconds, then break into chunks.
  3. Set out all toppings: granola, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and fresh fruit.
  4. Add frozen strawberries, banana, acai, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice to a blender.
  5. Blend on low, then increase to high. Use a tamper or scrape down sides as needed. Add more milk, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, if needed for blending. Aim for a thick, spoonable consistency.
  6. If mixture is too runny, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice and blend again.
  7. Spoon smoothie base into a wide bowl. Use a spatula to get all of it out.
  8. Create gentle swirls on top with the back of a spoon.
  9. Sprinkle granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, crushed nuts, and puffed quinoa or rice cereal over the bowl.
  10. Top with fresh strawberry slices, banana coins, or other berries as desired.
  11. Drizzle with honey or nut butter if desired.
  12. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and crunch.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for a thick, creamy texture. Start with less liquid and add more as needed. Chill your serving bowl for extra thickness. Customize toppings to suit dietary needs or preferences. For vegan, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup. For nut-free, use seeds and coconut toppings. The smoothie base can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 8 hours, but add toppings just before serving.
