Treat your ingredients with care...
- Açaí berry packs — Make sure to use unsweetened frozen açaí berry packs for an authentic taste. If unavailable, you can substitute with açaí powder.
- Passion fruit — Choose ripe passion fruits with wrinkled skin for the best flavor. Scoop out the pulp and discard the seeds before adding it to the blender.
Tips & Tricks
- For a thicker consistency, use less liquid. Adjust the amount of coconut water and almond milk according to your preference.
- Customize your toppings by adding nuts, chia seeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
- To make it a more substantial meal, add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter to the blender for added nutrition.
Serving advice
Serve the Açaí Bowl immediately after preparation to enjoy its refreshing taste and optimal texture. It is best enjoyed with a spoon, savoring each bite of the creamy açaí base and the crunchy toppings.
Presentation advice
For an eye-catching presentation, arrange the fresh fruit slices in a visually appealing pattern on top of the açaí bowl. Sprinkle the granola evenly to create a beautiful contrast of colors and textures.
