Brazilian Açaí Na Tigela (Acai Bowl)
- 1 Banana
- 1 splash Coconut Water/Almond Milk/Soy Milk/Orange Juice
- 1-2 packets Frozen Acai Pulp
- 5 teaspoons Xarope de Guarana (guarana syrup)/Agave/Cane Sugar/Honey
- 1 handful Granola
- Sliced Fruit (Banana/Kiwi/Strawberry/Blueberry, etc)
- Place a banana in your blender (I used a frozen one to help with texture) with your sweetener of choice, and a splash of liquid (I use almond milk)- blend together. Guarana syrup is typically used in Brazil to sweeten these for it's nice caffeine boost- you can find a bottle online or at local brazilian food store if you want to give it a try.
- Break frozen packets of frozen Acai pulp (I find mine at Whole Foods and at local Brazilian markets) into fragments and toss into blender. I use two to create a really creamy, sorbet-like texture. If you choose to use one, I would make sure not to use too much liquid in the above step so it stays thick!
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and top with sliced fruit and a handful of granola. I also like to add flax seeds, hemp seed, chia seeds.
- Ready to eat in under 10 minutes! Enjoy. rnP.S. If you want to get really decadent (and don't need to count calories,) pour a little bit of condensed milk on top before serving!
