There are so many variations to the classic acai bowl. But before getting overwhelmed with all the ingredients, let’s go over the basics:

1 packet frozen acai

1 banana

½ cup liquid

½ cup granola

Run frozen acai packet under hot water for 10 seconds to barely thaw it. Then toss it in the blender with half the banana and ½ cup liquid—juice tastes best but you can use anything! Then pour into a bowl and top with remaining banana (cut into coins) and some granola for texture.
