Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon acai powder or 1 packet acai berry puree
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (plain or vanilla)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or flax meal
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather the frozen banana slices, frozen mixed berries, and either the acai powder or acai berry puree packet. If desired, measure out the optional hemp seeds or flax meal and pour the unsweetened almond milk.
- Blend the Smoothie: Place the frozen banana, mixed berries, acai powder or puree, optional hemp seeds or flax meal, and almond milk into a blender. Puree until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 minute. If blending is difficult, add a small amount of extra almond milk to help the ingredients move smoothly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the blended smoothie into a serving glass. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Acai Berry: Both unsweetened acai powder and acai puree packets work well. The powder can be freeze-dried, available online or at specialty stores, while frozen Sambazon acai berry puree packets are commonly found in the frozen fruit section of many grocery stores including Target.
- Liquid Adjustment: Add additional almond milk as needed during blending to reach desired smoothie consistency.
- Optional Seeds: Hemp seeds or flax meal add extra omega-3 fatty acids and protein but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serving Size: This recipe yields one serving.
