The method
Step by step
- 1
Combine the frozen açaí pulp, frozen banana, and plant milk in a high-speed blender.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If your blender struggles, add a tiny splash more plant milk, but use as little liquid as possible for a thick bowl.
- 2
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: The mixture should be thick, like soft-serve ice cream. Avoid over-blending to maintain the cold temperature.
- 3
Pour the açaí mixture into a bowl.
- 4
Top with granola and sliced banana.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Feel free to add other desired toppings like fresh berries, coconut flakes, or chia seeds.
