Instructions

  1. Prepping the Base: Pour the almond milk into your blender. Add in the acai powder or puree, chia seeds, and half of the strawberries. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Texture Time: If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more almond milk. Conversely, if it’s too runny, toss in a few more strawberries or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
  3. Sweetness Check: Taste your blend. If it’s not sweet enough for you, drizzle in that optional honey and blend again.
  4. Pour and Garnish: Pour the mixture into bowls. Now’s the fun part! Top with sliced bananas, the remaining strawberries, mixed berries, granola, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut. For a hint of crunch and chocolate, sprinkle on some cacao nibs.

Tips

  1. For a colder Strawberry and Chia Seed Acai Bowl, you can freeze your strawberries and banana slices beforehand. It gives an ice-cream like consistency.
  2. Acai powder can sometimes settle at the bottom. Always give your container a good shake before measuring.
  3. While we love Greek yogurt for its protein punch, you can use any yogurt variety you fancy. Just adjust the sweetness accordingly.
  4. Ever considered making your own granola? It’s an incredible way to control sugar levels and add whatever goodies you love.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complement your bowl with a cold glass of almond or oat milk for added refreshment.
