Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings: 1 Large Bowl
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: Brazilian
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet frozen acai unsweetened or sweetened depending on preference
  • 1 frozen banana to thicken and add natural sweetness
  • ½ cup frozen berries such as blueberries or strawberries
  • ½ cup almond milk or any milk of choice. Coconut milk makes it creamier while oat milk makes it smooth.
  • 1 scoop collagen powder for protein and support for skin and joints
  • 1 serving Cocotropics for a superfood boost
  • Optional: a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste

Equipment

  • 1 Vitamix Blender
  • 1 Coconut Bowl
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • Freezer Bags optional
  • Containers optional
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Take the frozen acai packet and either run it under warm water for 10 to 15 seconds or break it up by folding the packet in a few places with your hands. This makes it easier to blend.
  2. Add the acai, banana, frozen berries, collagen, Cocotropics, and milk into your blender.
  3. Blend until smooth but thick. I use a Vitamix, which comes with a tamper (the “stick thingy”) that makes it easy to push everything down without adding extra liquid. If your blender does not have a tamper, pause to scrape the sides or add just a splash more milk.
  4. Pour into coconut bowls for that café-style feel and smooth the top with a spoon.
  5. Add toppings Peanut butter for creaminess and healthy fats
  6. Coconut flakes for crunch and a tropical flavor
  7. Fresh berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
  8. Granola for an extra layer of crunch
  9. Chia seeds or hemp hearts for plant-based protein
  10. Banana slices for something classic
  11. Nutella as a treat
