Ingredients

  • 100 g frozen acai about 1 cup
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ⅓ cup soy milk up to ½ cup but add slowly
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup pb powder
  • juice from 1 orange about ¼ cup

toppings (for 2 bowls)

  • 3 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ⅓ cup granola

Instructions

  • If using acai packets, run the acai packet under warm water for 20-30 seconds, then break into chunks. If using acai cubes you can skip this step.
    Add 100 g frozen acai, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 ripe banana, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup pb powder, ⅓ cup soy milk, and the juice from 1 orange to a blender. I find it helpful to add the liquid ingredients first but if your blender has a tamper, it doesn't really matter.
  • Blend on high, using the tamper if available. Add soy milk one tablespoon at a time only if the blender stalls even with scraping down the sides.
  • Blend until just smooth, stop the moment it comes together so the blender heat doesn't melt the smoothie bowl.
    Divide between 2 bowls immediately. Top each bowl with half the toppings. Enjoy right away!

Notes

Great with chia seed pudding on top for extra protein and fiber!
Protein granola will add additional protein per bowl.
Storage: Best eaten immediately. If needed, freeze the base in individual portions and re-blend from frozen the next day.
Dairy-free: Swap Greek yogurt for a high-protein dairy-free yogurt alternative. Protein per bowl will be lower.
Blender: A high-speed blender with a tamper is ideal. A food processor also works well for thick bowls.
