Ingredients
  

Makes one large or two small smoothies:
  • Acai Powder: 4 tablespoons approx. 30g
  • Frozen Bananas: 2 use ripe ones for extra sweetness
  • Frozen Strawberries: ½ cup approx. 75g
  • Frozen Raspberries: ½ cup approx. 65g
  • Hemp Seeds: 1 tablespoon for a boost of protein and omegas
  • Liquid: 1 cup 240 ml of unsweetened almond milk or water. Add more as needed.

Method
 

  1. nstructions (The Steps)
  2. Prep the Blender: Start by pouring the liquid (almond milk or water) into your blender. This helps the blades spin freely and prevents the frozen ingredients from getting stuck.
  3. Add the Ingredients: Add the acai powder and hemp seeds, followed by the frozen bananas, strawberries, and raspberries.
  4. Blend It Up: Begin blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add another splash of liquid to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour your fresh açai smoothie into a glass immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavor!

Notes

  • Customize Your Smoothie: For extra creaminess, use coconut or almond milk instead of water. For a protein boost, add a tablespoon of almond butter, or mix in a scoop of your favorite greens powder for more nutrients.
  • How to Store: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For maximum freshness and to prevent oxidation, fill the jar to the very top to minimize air exposure.
