Method
Why I Like this Recipe
I love how the cold, thick açaí base pairs with the fresh fruit on top. Greek yoghurt makes it creamier and more filling than a regular smoothie. You can also change up the toppings, so it’s a handy breakfast when you have a little fruit, seeds, or nut butter to use.
Tips and Variations
- Use frozen banana and blueberries in the base to keep everything thick and cold.
- Add the almond milk a little at a time, because too much will make the bowl more like a smoothie.
- A powerful blender will process the frozen fruit more easily.
- Pause to scrape down the sides between blends before adding more liquid.
- You can swap the chia seeds for pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or chopped nuts.
- If you prefer, skip the peanut butter or use almond or cashew butter instead.
- Portion out the frozen banana and blueberries ahead of time so they’re ready to blend in the morning.
Meal Storage
Açaí bowls taste best right after making them, since the frozen base softens quickly. If you need to, you can keep the blended base covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it will get a bit softer. Add the fresh toppings just before you eat.
Freezer tips
You can freeze the blended açaí base (without toppings) in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to a month. Leave some space at the top, since the mixture might expand as it freezes.
Let the frozen base soften in the fridge until you can stir or blend it again. If it’s still too firm, leave it out at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Don’t reheat this recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can, but the base will be softer. Frozen blueberries make the mixture thicker and colder, so they’re better for the base.
Yes. Use 100g of Sambazon Scoopable Açaí. Since it’s softer and already sweetened, blend it first without almond milk, and only add a little if you need to.
Yes. Just leave out the vanilla protein powder and blend everything else as usual. The bowl will have less protein and taste more fruity.
Try Skyr or another thick natural yoghurt. Avoid runny yoghurt, since it can make the base too soft.
Closing Note
Making this breakfast only takes a few minutes if you have some açaí and a bit of fruit stored in the freezer. Keep the toppings simple or use any fruit, seeds or nut butter that you currently have. If you prefer a warm fruit breakfast, try this high-protein mango breakfast bake with cottage cheese.
