Ingredient
Base:
-
- 2 frozen unsweetened acai packets (100g each)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or vegan)
- 1/2 cup frozen banana chunks
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat or full fat)
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, soy, or dairy)
- Optional: 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- Toppings:
- Granola
- Sliced bananas
- Chia seeds or hemp seeds
- Berries
Instructions
Add Liquids First: Add the milk to your blender first to ensure a smooth blend.
- Blend Base: Add the frozen acai packets, protein powder, frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, and optional nut butter. Blend on low, gradually increasing to high speed until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Tip: Do not over-blend, or it will become a smoothie instead of a thick bowl.
- Serve: Pour into a chilled bowl.
- Add Toppings: Top with granola, fruit, and seeds.
Key Tips for the Perfect Bowl
Keep it Thick: Use a high-powered blender or food processor. If the blender gets stuck, add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Protein Boost: Greek yogurt is key for creamy texture and extra protein, while vanilla protein powder adds flavor and nutrition.
- Meal Prep: Keep frozen acai packets and sliced bananas in your freezer to make this quickly.
