Instructions
Blend the Acai Base
Break the frozen acai pulp packets into chunks and add them to a high-powered blender along with the frozen banana chunks. Add the almond milk or coconut water starting with just half of it to keep the blend thick. Blend on high, using a tamper if available, until completely smooth and creamy. Add more liquid only if needed as the mixture should be very thick.
Check the Consistency
The blended base should be thick enough that it does not flow when you tilt the blender, almost like a very firm sorbet. If it is too liquid, add more frozen banana. If it is too thick to blend, add liquid one tablespoon at a time. The thickness is what gives the bowl its signature texture.
Pour and Top
Immediately pour the thick acai blend into two chilled bowls. Working quickly before it begins to melt, arrange the sliced strawberries in a row on top and scatter the granola evenly across the surface for crunch.
Finish and Serve
Drizzle the honey or agave syrup over the top of each bowl. Serve immediately as the bowl will begin to melt at room temperature. You can add additional toppings such as sliced banana, shredded coconut, or chia seeds according to your preference.
